The end of Battlestar Galactica

First, thanks so much for y'all's help on my Dreamwidth questions.

I just finished watching the final ep of Battlestar Galactica, and was wondering what you all thought of it (of the ep, the show itself, and especially the last chunk that most recently aired, AKA the second half of season 4, AKA the last 10 eps). I'd love to hear your random thoughts and/or be linked to your reactions.

I'll be rooting among your journals myself, so if you're suddenly getting comments on older BSG posts, this is why!

I have Thoughts I Have Thinked, but I don't even know where to begin, so mostly I'm just sitting back a bit.

I have been ruminating on the BSG finale ever since I saw it. I think I will finally post thoughts about it this weekend.

I think a lot of people misinterpret the final message (ie , modern times). It is not, robots bad, get rid of technology.

I do very much think that the earth portion of the finale was written without consideration of day 2, as it were. If the world literally ended exactly at that point, then it was a happy ending. But, fans all make the reasonable assumption that the sun comes up the next day and the characters still have to cope.
