I AGREE!

And rather eloquently stated, Kemal. All of that bothered me a LOT. It was beyond my ability to suspend my disbelief and didn't provide me with any closure at all - JUST DISAPPOINTMENT.


[CONTINUING SPOILERS]








I honestly believe that the writers just didn't know what to do with the show. I really do. From the outset, seasons 1, 2, and 3 are so superbly strong (some bad episodes here and there, but that happens with every show) that it was probably a pipedream to think that they could reconcile anything.

My major issues:

1. Starbuck's a fucking angel. A FUCKING ANGEL. Not a cylon. Not the final 5. Not the ONE. A fucking ANGEL. You're KIDDING ME. One of the things that the show had done well up to that point is to tread the whole God/Religious line pretty well... BUT SHE'S AN ANGLE?!
2. The "Eight" Cylon Daniel. WHAT THE HELL?! Why introduce him and then not reveal that he's someone in the crew? What? He just DIED? Or were we lead to believe that he was Adama? (Based on the flashbacks when he refused to answer the question, "Are you a Cylon?" and also back in Season 2 when the cylon told Starbuck, "ADAMA IS A CYLON!" Is that it? HUH?
3. The Opera House. The Heaven/Hell/Limbo-like ethereal Opera House reveal was incredibly lame. It has NOTHING to do with furthering Man's or Cylon's future (in fact, it was the catalyst to END Cylon future thanks to Chief being a pussy and getting pissed that his lameass cheating bitch awful actor contrived wife Kalley was murdered - ARGH! LAME!)
4. Gaius and Six as Saviors - We're lead up the entire season to believe that their roles were to do something BIG. MEANINGFUL. Are they Gods??? What is their purpose??? Oh, uhm, they just negotiated against Hera's life and won. Hrmph. THAT was satisfying.
5. Boomer. ARGH. Quite possibly one of my favorite characters in the beginning of the show. Incredibly sympathetic. LOVED her relationship with Chief. LOVED the cylon-centric episode when she resurrects and, along with Gaius' Six they fight against the Cylons... I was LOOKING FORWARD to a Chief/Boomer reunion... But the story that she just USED him to get Hera... And then stole Hera back again... WHAT WAS THE POINT?! ARGH.
6. Philosophy - The beginning of the show brought up a LOT of philosophy. Man vs. Machine. Human Rights (not granting them to Cylons as an allegory to racism). Free Will vs. Destiny (the religious or Nihilistic aspect) - Brilliant and interesting stuff!! Which was all thrown away for this retarded agrarian idyllic life... WHAT THE HELL?! And if they just throw away all of their technology... HOW WILL THEY SURVIVE?!?!?!?!
7. Oh, and the epilogue with Six and Gauis on OUR Earth. Was unnecessary, preachy, and dumb. DUMB.
