I spent 4 years, probably over 10 webisodes, 1 TV movie, on this series and the finale was a major drag. I was so disappointed and livid. I dont have any friends that like BSG so I dont know if disappointment was the general consensus or if everyone was pretty much happy about the way it ended.
Are you serious?... it was the best ending i could have hoped for. What exactly were you expecting yourself?... it was so open to interpretation and yet it nicely book ended all of the characters and their story arcs. It was an emotional gut punch of an episode. one of my favourites. The best Sci-Fi show ever made, hands down.
Its was a powerful and emotionally charged ending and a hugely entertaining, extended epilogue, on par with the flim Schinderlers List.
