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.



Daybreak Pt III was pretty weak, but the thing I loved about re-BSG was the world and history that they built. They made the (frankly) lovely 1978 series cool for a new time, made it a commentary on (then) current events, and did it all with the tiniest of budgets. It's seriously impressive what they did with what they were given, but I was waaaayyyyy up this show's rear end when it was still airing.

Some cool stuff came out of it later, the BSG: Deadlock game is fantastic, and Blood and Chrome, while remarkably badly executed, had some cool context to add to the first Cylon war.

Regardless of the final episode, I'm always going to love every minute of that show. Hell I've rewatched it several times over the years, still love it, weak ending notwithstanding.
