Am glad I didn’t waste my time watching the series. All atmosphere, weak plot and weak writing.
Haven't seen the show, but if they insist on living as hunter-gatherers they HAVE to disperse. Few ecosystems can support a concentration of humans at that technology level.
One of the few that can is the Pacific NW coast.
the battle scene was OK. but the ending overall was moronic. A shame considering that overall, the revival of the originally insipid 1970s kids sci fi show, started out excellent.
When they got into deep space and started all the physco babble is when they lost me.
Never could get back into it.
Starting over once again with the hope that maybe this time, they'll get it right, was the perfect ending.
Sounds like the polar opposite of Gene Rodenberry’s take on the same subject in the TV Star Trek’s The Way to Eden.
And probably was.
How could all 38,000 sign off on a Luddite suicide pact like a bunch of lemmings? I would have had the colonists land on the uninhabited continent of Atlantis.
Sounds more like Battlestar Cambodia!
bring back Lorne Green re-runs
Glad I didn’t waste any time watching it. Just another we-hate-ourselves liberal fest.
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.
This show became dreadful after Season 2.
Well, one of the main characters was named GAIus... ;)
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.
