What a stupid disappointment.
They finally get to Earth at approx. 200,000 BC, around the time earliest Homo ancestor is appearing. And what do they do? They abandon all their technology and books and arts and theology and everything that they are and go -- wait for it -- Back to Nature, so they can die of the common cold or an infected finger if they don't burn or freeze to death first while being eaten by wild dogs. What crap! They should have called it Battlegreen Galactica . I kept waiting for a lecture from Adama on global warming. Then the characters spend the next several days wandering around instead of trying to kill some food animal with a sharp stick, which is all they've decided to allow themselves. Then, Thrace evaporates and the crew disbands to "spread themselves over the world" rather than cluster together for survival.
A finale that could have been written by the coke-addled. Just say no!
I never watched an ep until the finale and got it right away. Now, I’m starting with S1 to play catch up.
Did you read them all? I just read the ones written with/by her son in the past couple of months, I think they are fairly new.
Glad I didn’t waste any time watching it. Just another we-hate-ourselves liberal fest.
Yeah I think I read them all but it didn’t get them in order. It looks like her son started writing since 2000 so I haven’t read any of those.
No it wasn’t. It was a complete affirmation that God is in control, hardly a liberal mantra.
It was worth watching the finale to see Cavil blow his own brains out and to see Tyrol wring the neck of Tory regardless of the consequences. The rest, I can’t say I cared enough to worry about and the whole “angels” thing came too far out of left field to have much dramatic impact.
Lee Adama became Al Gore.
No answers to anything. Plot hole after plot hole.
Useless flashbacks.
And an absurd ending. They would all die of disease.
The problem is that it leaves one wondering exactly what “god” is in control, given that Baltar says that he hates to be called “god” and picked a Baltar, Six, and (ugh) Starbuck as angels.
This show became dreadful after Season 2.
Well, one of the main characters was named GAIus... ;)
I don't give this show's producers and writers credit for having the intelligence to come to that conclusion. Sorry.
No offense, but I can’t imagine a group of people who deserver to freez and starve in the dark than the Colonials of GINO.

Great finale except I wanted the Admiral to slap the hell out of Lee when he suggested they get back together with nature. My wife and I were laughing at Lee talking about wanting to explore, climb mountains, etc. Good luck with that, Lee! You might need to work your well-manicured fingers to the bone just to survive from one day to the next.
As the final chapter, it was full of holes.
Adama leaves Junior. Yeah right. Like that would happen.
Junior decides for all survivors that he doesn’t like technology, so he doesn’t want a city built. [Junior didn’t bother to ask the 39,000 survivors their view.] And Daddy decides to junk all the craft by sending them into the sun. [No recycling????]
Oh, except Daddy Adama gets to keep his craft to fly around in.
And the Kara disappearance. What was that? An angel? Yeah, right.
And then 150,000 years later, Baltar is strolling around.
It was bad enough that they found Earth I, but it was nuked to near oblivion (how pc). So, conveniently, they find Earth (Reduex or II?), all green and plush. So why did Kara die on Earth I?
Viewers had to suspend credulity. The battle scenes were good. That was the high point.
The reason why i didn’t watch 1 episode of it was the pilot: Starbuck was a chick. That says it all. Thank God I did NOT waste an hour of my time watching this crap.
Did you actually watch the show or just knee jerking it?
Its a multifaceted, beautiful ending, IMHO.
Me too. My opinion exactly.
