BSG - Series Finale tonight

<< < (4/5) > >>

WunderCade:
I thought the homage paid to the original series "intro music" was a nice touch, as Sam navigated the fleet into the Sun.

For those that didn't watch it, betcha can't rent just 1 (season).  >:D

I also have been watching this series from the beginning and haven't missed a single episode. It was one of my favorite shows ever, and the wife loves it to which is a bonus. I also used to like the original as a kid as well. I have mixed feelings about the finally. I think they left a lot of things unexplained, or not explained well enough. Yes the Baltar and Caprica 6 at the end were some kind of angels or aliens (perhaps beings of light from the original BSG) They kind of were treating humanity as some kind cosmic experiment for some kind of cosmic being whom the only thing we really know about is that it doesn't care to be referred to as "God" . The resurrected Star Buck was one of these "angels" as well.  Speaking of which, they didn't really explain much about Star Buck and what she was after she died. Also they didn't really rap up the story of the original 5. Yes they were from the 13th colony (the original Earth) but why were they more human than their Cylon creations? The whole "Opera house" deal I kinda felt like they pulled out of their ass at the end. I have the feeling that they never did really know where they were going with that one. I do like how they came to Earth 150,000 years ago, and how they tied in to modern times. All those shots of the robots at the end were kinda corny I thought though. All in all it was OK, I just wish that they had used the final season and the series finale to wrap things up a bit better though.

Yeah it was all kinda rushed. Like how did they (the fleet) know of the same or-ordinates, or was that bit referenced when Starbuck and Adama was decoding the music sheet?

Gees I have to watch the entire series again, to figure out all the pieces.  You get that with clever writing.

I also like the homage to Star Wars:  A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far far Away.

The starbuck ending was pants - pure pants. 

Oh well cannot have everything.  Scifi said that the DVD will have a longer version, so who knows if we get a better explanation later on.

We should put a Spoilers Warning for the UK guys that didn't download the torrent.  ::)

They sent a raptor back to get them. So they are releasing a longer version on DVD?? Sweet. Also did anybody catch that add for the movie they are doing from the Cylons perspective on it?

WunderCade:
Ya, "The Plan".

Here's and excerpt:

"According to Kate Vernon, "You'll definitely have a few "ah ha" moments. But there's a big chunk of what's been happening on the show that this movie will show the moments right before. You'll get a big piece of the puzzle from "The Plan." It'll just slide right into focus. The movie will open up the show for fans in a big way, because there's a giant piece missing and this will show you the bigger picture."
