that said I liked the ending even if parts of it made no loving sense

It made sense, even in the end. However, it wasn't a great ending; I was really attached to the characters, but their focus on "characters first, narrative second" in the end was disappointing and kind of a cop out. BSG is still a great show despite the haphazard conclusion. Nearly every aspect of it is just completely superior to films and TV shows.

the very end wasn't as bad as anyone says, but some of the lead up stuff like the cosmic importance of baby boomer rock? i wasn't sold on it. again tho, i was sold on how the characters engaged w it

The problem is that once it became 100% locked in as a pre-existing protomythology they didn't have time to do anything but push the players into their apportioned roles. I really would have liked a less obvious external push for relevance toward the end.

That's probably true but is there enough difference to actually cause a schism like that to form?

Well I did say "if". If a good democratic candidate finds himself in a crowded field and exploits that to overwhelmingly win the soccer mom vote, while several others fight over the inner cities, then we'll maybe see a fracture.

Or Those wealthy suburbanites who used to be republicans and are now soft democrats, aren't guaranteed to stay that way. If the GOP can produce a candidate that can drop the racism and social issues then maybe they will come back in to the fold.

I suppose that was supposed to be the plan after Romney lost in 2012, and we see how well that turned out.

Can I ask who? Edward James Olmos gave a talk at my school about ethnicity in America a while ago and it was amazing. He was introduced as "Commander Adama" and he instantly corrected the guy by saying "It's ADMIRAL. I was promoted!" He got us to join in on a "So say we all!" chant with him, and then talked so long that he had to be kicked off the stage by the school. I think/hope a part of him truly believes he is Admiral Adama. :3:

I agree. The show set up huge mysteries but never really had the wherewithal to answer any of them in a satisfying matter. But none of that actually dramatically hurt the show as a whole since the characters and the actors portraying them were all amazing. I would've preferred a better tie up the central mythology, but you can't get everything. It's amazing that what did work, worked as well as it did. I mean, the music alone is better than the majority of big budget movies.
