BSG Series Finale: Reaction
First things first. So many spoilers here, be wary if you haven't seen it and plan to!
I'll admit, there were a lot of "FAN-GASM" moments.
1. Seeing rebel Centurions? Awesome.
2. Great battles, point-blank range indeed!
3. Awesome character portrayals, as always.
Kinda scattered thoughts here. Okay, I'll admit that I ALMOST cried when I saw Lee first jump down into the colony and there's this great shot of him with Centurions running alongside him. I mean, that was just...no words. No words.
I really hated Boomer before this finale. I mean just...everything she's done? Really hated her guts, don't care if she felt some remorse when she handed Hera over to Cavil at the end of the last episode, still hated her.
Then I saw her rescue Hera and give her back. Saw that she really wanted to repent (I guess?) but I still hated her. Kudos to Athena.
Entire scene in the CIC? Awesome, kind of a..."what the frak" moment when Cavil just handed Hera over (was it out-of-character? I think it was, a bit). Lovely scene of death and destruction after (eat karma!).
Second half of the finale? Lot of people I hear disliked it. I liked it, liked it a lot. Real 180 degrees given the show's nature, but I liked it. Real wtf moment with Kara Thrace. Honestly? I'm not 100% fond of the deity thing, but I can accept it.
I'll say it though, I cried once during the finale. It was when Adama and Roslin were in the shuttle, and "that" happened. I cried. I knew it was going to happen, sure, but the way it was shown just...it made me cry. It made me cry.
And for those that dislike the second hour? I think it split the fandom in two. Why did *I* like it? Three words.
Neon. Genesis. Evangelion.
To me, the second hour reminded me of the original ending to the TV series. Before the alternate endings made by the movies. Total change in style, but used the same characters, and had an uplifting message. And I liked the original NGE ending.
Oh, and I thought the show ended with that BEAUTIFUL shot of Adama looking over the land. That was just gorgeous.
And is almost making me cry right now.
Good show. Good show. Very satisfying for me.

Hey dude,
I totally agree with you. My first reaction after watching the finale was one of satisfaction. Obviously there were some things I would have liked to know more about, but I felt like what was provided was sufficient to me. Also, I can't really complain because one of my favourite characters got one of the best possible endings that I could ever imagine. Who am I talking about? "RACETRACK"! Omg... Her lifeless corpse annihilated all that was left of the Cylon race with a barrage of nuclear missiles. EPIC.
