SPOILERS AHEAD.
You've been warned.
So, I just finished watching the Battlestar Galactica series finale and I must say, I am very satisfied with how it ended. Yes, I shed tears during the episode because it was sad. But, I am also happy that David Eick and Ronald Moore decided to wrap up the show and not drag it on forever.
The ending is pure deus ex machina with a lot of religion thrown in. This might turn some people off, but I am perfectly fine with how it wrapped up in this fashion. I still had some questions in mind. The Starbuck that returned after the explosion, was she Moore's Jesus figure? A flawed and unassuming saviour for the human and cylons. The Baltar and Six at the very end: Since I assume the real Baltar and Six died 150,000 years ago, who's figment of imagination were these two? God's?
The robots are coming?
All in all, it was a wonderful journey. I loved the show as a whole. There were some rough spots in the middle, but that was expected. The ending was fitting for such a great show and I am glad that it all worked out in a fashion that was completely satisfying.
I can't wait for the Blu-ray release so that I can watch it again from the mini-series to the series finale in high definition.
Thank you to everyone who made Battlestar Galactic so engrossing, entertaining and rewarding. I'll miss the show.
