I love BSG to death and yes you gentlemen are correct. But I loved the cast, the drama, the dangers and most of all the flaws humans had on the show. Shit even the fracking skin jobs were nuts. In this case I am going to shut my mind and enjoy/remember the best part of the series.

The writers had an entire 22 episode season to set a new standard in science fiction and they opted for the easy out: we’ll tug at the heartstrings of the viewers, and punt every gaping plot hole off as God’s Plan. To add insult to injury, anyone notice that God fails miserably in the final minute? 150,000 years in the future, earth is built up and starts making advances in robotics. So what’s the point…God likes to torture humans ad infinitum?! I would’ve been better off reading frakkin’ Left Behind.

Terminator only took 2 hrs to warn us about the dangers of technology back in 1984…we really needed BSG to take 70+ episodes in 4 seasons to warn us of the same, then tell us that it’s all God’s fault.

The saddest part is the betrayal. BSG has set a new low water mark in science fiction and undoubtedly accelerated the dilution of the genre. Here’s a sneak peak into the Ronald Moore formula:
– Hire the writers for Guiding Light and Days of Our Lives
– Add a few technical consultants
– Put all the actors in space uniforms
– $$$ Profit $$$
