LOC Veteran Posted April 23, 2009 Veteran Share Posted April 23, 2009 I still don't get why people are complaining about the ending. I mean, ok the Starbuck thing might have been a copout on the producers part, but still. They obviously had the plot in mind for over a season if not longer. And to make a long argument short, it's a SCIENCE FICTION show, not a reality show. I think people forgot this, considering how "realistic" BSG portrayed everything (mostly). But you always had that spiritual/religious overtone to the series, starting from the first episode of the mini-series for fraks sake. Like Lebeon (sp) said (and they showed it in the scene where Kara realizes everything more or less in the CIC) he doesn't see Kara Thrace, he sees an angel sent by god. Same with Head Six and Head Baltar. It makes sense now that they weren't imagionary at all, but "angels" or whatever you want to call them. Guiding (sometimes badly) Baltar and Six in a certain direction. Sure, there were plenty of plot holes, but for a series that took chances, and was a SCI FI show, I don't understand the people complaining about it now. It's like, they were watching a totally different show or something...

ctebah Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I am definitely contemplating re-watching this series. I won't have much time this summer, so it might have to be during the long canadian winter when I hybernate. I think I will wait for the plan and then just re-watch it afterwards.

Goalie33 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I'm working my way thru re-watching everything. Currently, I'm half-way thru Season 3 and there are a lot of details I forgot about when I was watching the finale. Having the ability to watch everything in order from the mini-series on has helped answer some of my questions. However, the whole Starbuck ending was still a disappointment, and I don't think anything will change that. The Plan sounds interesting, and I can't wait to view it.
