BSG Finale

[redbrunja]

-the finale was okay but not great - this is a show I tend to watch when I only need to give it half my attention, and I get antsy when I don't have laundry to fold or a bed to make and its on.

-I agree with who-ever was talking about the defanging of the cylons being a problem. It's like, 'we give you resurrection and you leave us alone forever' - well, why the frack couldn't you have agreed to this two seasons ago and had a lot less dead people?

-I liked Boomer dying. I used to like her but she sure as hell had it coming.

-I also liked the mirroring of the opera scene, even with my intense apathy to anything involving Baltar

-I enjoyed seeing Tori getting strangled.

-I am not thrilled with the anti-tech spiel at the end. Oh, Lee.

-also, all this burning of ships bridges made me twitchy.

-Poor Lee, everyone going off and leaving.

Well, overall, I'm underwhelmed.

*nods* Yep the battle on colony was excellent.

To be perfectly honest I've suspected since I first started watching that EVERYBODY was going to die at the end. They might save the human race, but I always suspected all of them would die tragically. The happy ending was a bit of a 180 from my expectations.

That honestly would have made a lot of sense. Frankly, I was a bit disappointed that MORE people didn't die, frankly (which is shocking coming from me).

Another thing I liked during the colony attack was the dialogue between Boomer, Athena, and Starbuck.

B: You won't be able to get out the way you came.

A: That's not the plan.

S: Please, don't tell her the plan.

Yeah, it seems everyone who died tragically did so during the course of the series. I can understand it being a bit of a disappointment. The entire series has been one tragedy after another...it would have made more sense if a lot of people had died in the colony attack. Then again, I suppose they deserved a happy ending to an extent.

Here's my question to you, if you had written it, how would it have ended? Angsty? Happy? Bolshevik Muppet-everything-blows-up-ending?

That was a great snippet of dialogue.

Okay, so I didn't watch most of season 3 and 4, so I might be missing huge plot points, but things I would have liked to have seen:

-Roslin dying with Galactica. For example, I loved when she fainted as Galatica got damaged - plus, it's nicely brutal on Adama

-no flashbacks during the finale

-I liked what happened during the rescue of Hera, but the whole 'let's be friends and go our different ways with Cavil wouldn't have happened.

- The colonials would have kept their tech when they landed on earth - maybe they build one of those ancient buildings some people always say aliens did

-Lee and Kara end up in the same place with an amigiously shippy ending, with senior Adama

-The chief dies, possibly Tigh dies, Boomer still dies (her death scene was awesome.)
