Personally I think that 4 to 5 seasons in a show is good.. Yes I’m sad to see it go.. Ellen Tigh is the final cylon.. Same here with Zarek and Gaeta getting the firing squad..

I found great satisfaction with that firing squad finale! Just seeing someone that usurps power, and upsets the whole way of life, and beliefs get their comeuppance from the business end of a power blaster just plain old felt good!

Oh Crap! Now the SS will probably knock on my door!

Really fellas! I was talking about a TV show!

LOL!

I liked exposure of Zarek as a liar. They were walking on a thin line with him for a very long time. His rhetoric of democracy and freedom was skillful. Did all viewers cached the glimpses of hypocrisy in him that show producers allowed once in a while, I wonder?

He was shown, finally and quite openly, as a self-serving power-grubber, a revolutionary of a Bolshevik style (or Che style, if you like), a revolutionary with a firing squad.

Not that his critique of the government and its officials was always wrong - it wasn't! This is one of the aspects that made this show so live, true and good.
