BSG Finale

Thoughts??

Lots to like here - thought the story was good, Kara Thrace ending is the only exception. Good battles, great Cavil death scene, old school cylons, Earth, etc..

it was orgasmic

I thought it was perfect. No other word for it. I liked the Kara ending too. At first it struck me as a bit off, but when you think about it, there's really no other way they could have ended her story. She'd made it to the end of her journey, it's not like after that there was anything else the character could possibly hope to aspire to. And it was a neat way to answer the question about her resurrection without actually answering it.

Agreed, though part of me wanted to see Lee and Kara settle down together somewhere quiet. She finally found her peace, but it would have been nice for him to find a bit of happiness.

I was kind of disappointed with where they ended up at first, because so many had already predicted, but I was happy with the execution of it all. I could go into more detail, but there's no spoiler warning on the thread.

Spoil me, please. What "startling revelations" came about? Did Taylor find the Statue Of Liberty on a beach in the Forbidden Zone?

Well, it fast forwarded to when Apollo was 40, and revealed that his life had amounted to him fucking unattractive middle aged women with mental health issues, then bitching about them to people who could scarcely care less on the internet.

I figured as much.

Really it was quite derivative. Particularly poignant though was the part though where Adama wound up dying as a result of his unfortunate incident with a Centurion dressed up like the now deceased Roslyn, and a strap-on.

Well who knew Cylon Joint lube would have the opposite effect when combined with the contents of the human anal canal.
