Battlestar Galactica finale

[kevyn]

I just downloaded and watched the series finale of Battlestar Galactica. I confess I've never been a huge fan of the series... I like it, but I'm not fanatical about it. I watched the pilot miniseries, but only sporadically watched the show. However, I'm glad I watched the final few episodes.

The final episode had some really good moments.

Single best moment:

"You can see them too?"
(Me, shouting at the screen: "CAPRICA SIX HAS A GAIUS BALTAR IN HER HEAD?!?!?! HA HA HA HA HA HA!")

Other really good moments:

• The return of the classic Centurion Toasters.


• Boomer redeeming herself by rescuing Hera.


• The visions of the Opera House coming true.


• Starbuck programming the FTL with Hera's musical notes.


• Galactica's final FTL jump, buckling under the strain. Visually incredible!


• Adaama being the last one to leave Galactica.


• Lee: "Our brains always outrun our hearts."


• Zack: "Something's broken!"


• Lee: "Goodbye, Kara Thrace. You will not be forgotten."


• Laura: "For how long? All the way to the end."


• 150,000 YEARS LATER


• Ronald D. Moore's cameo, reading National Geographic.


• Six: "Commercialism. Decadence. Technology run amok. Remind you of anything?"


• Six: "That too is in God's plan." Baltar: "You know it doesn't like that name!"

So. End of a good story. Lots of loose ends tied up.

I'll probably watch "The Plan" when it airs this fall. But will I watch "Caprica" when it comes out? Maybe. Maybe not. It definitely won't be the same. We'll see...
