Battlestar Galactica - The Final Season Details

Massive let down

I loved the first three seasons of Battlestar Galactica but the fourth was just terrible. After the first six or seven episodes it just goes dramatically downhill with stupid plots that make no sense at all. There were several episodes I could barely watch right the way through they were so boring. I persevered though, and watched all two hours (felt like six) of the finale, constantly hoping it would get better, but unfortunately it didn't. There's far too many story lines that are way back in the past before the stike on New Caprica that are just tedious and completely unnecessary.

The end of Prison Break better be a lot better than this garbage.

"Let down" my bottom.

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS

There is no way on earth they could have pleased everyone with the finale to this series. So you're always going to get reviewers who give it one star and talk about how boring/disappointing/crap it was.

Yeah, so there were a few loose ends that didn't get tied up properly. A few characters were written out of the story abruptly. Starbuck was an angel. Get over it.

I'm a super-atheist, but it made me chuckle that in this secular day and age Ron Moore had the balls to end it the way he did. Good on him.

I didn't love everything about the ending, but it was wholly consistent with the quality of the previous seasons... Okay... Adama staring at the cracked beams and walls on Galactica while on the verge of tears for the 637th time, I grant you, wasn't great.

Plus, for the more easily pleased (and that includes me), in what other show *ever* did you get an array of women looking like Boomer, Number Six, Starbuck, Tory and Deanna? And for the men-likers: you'll always have Apollo's towel.

My favourite series evah.
