I am still nerd mad about how unbelievably terrible the BSG ending was like fifteen loving years later. It was so bad it retroactively ruined the rest of the series for me except maybe the first season

Let's just fly all of our spaceships into the sun for no reason and revert to stone age technology and become cavemen for no reason and split up into small groups and never see each other again FOR NO REASON

Also all the Deus Ex Machina stuff? Sorry yeah it really was God. No deeper layer to explaining all the bits of the prophecy or hidden plot twist or or meaning to the Cylons yet to be revealed. It was just God.


Except Fatsuit Lee Adama. Nothing could ruin Fatsuit Lee Adama.

I mean the whole struggle about military vs civil power with Adama being straight up repressive ultra authoritarian fash was a repeated ongoing major plot theme fair enough but "the whole thing is fashy full stop" is a bit much

The whole series was about morally grey decisions, and that specific episode was about them not doing it after Helo stops it (if I remember right) and after they'd already been victims of genocide themselves
