[Movie] Battlestar Galactica

There's actually no questions to be answered in the final episodes. Everything pretty much resolved in the latest episode, all that is left is the final fate of the entire fleet. Seems kind of a bleak ending to just leave them wondering around in space.

The only thing that has NOT been revealed is the one last remaining cylon. It is not Ellen, that was just Saul's hallucination. I'm sort of still thinking it is Zak. That would actually explain something. But the final episodes have been so shitty, that, ultimately, I don't care anymore.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm rephrasing my words a bit. Ellen is still useless, but the shit maelstrom her return caused sort of gave rise to a new catalyst in the ship. A wish to reunite the two completely different races. I wonder how furiously John is going to react to that. Will he be the final boss, so to speak?

This series could end on a very heart touching note, I'm hoping now. Before this, I was sort of hoping for a big bang at the end of the series, but things seem to fade back out. I realise, the big bang was in between complete solaces. That is one of the ways to understand our universe's time before OUR big bang.

Yeah, I take things too metaphysically.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So now it's over. The final episode lasted a grand 1,5 hours and reminded me more and more of Return of the King as it went on and on. The fates of Starbuck, Anders and Lee really got to me. Those three were what the series was about to me. "See you on the other side."

Out of interest I also watched The Last Frakkin' Special, which was a load of bullshit. They just gave an excuse to why the storyline sucked for two seasons: "oh... yeah... this... uh... show was about...uhh... characters and stuff... we explain that in the last episode watch it and stop complaining..." Well, it's sort of true.

I'm glad they explained everything, in a faint passing, but at least everything was there. It was a nice touch to the whole cycle. The eerie ending "philosophy" also reminded me quite a lot of Metal Gear Solid games.

Dean Stockwell's horrible one liners almost ruined the whole episode for me. I DO NOT WANT SCREWBALL COMEDY IN MY EPIC SERIOUS BATTLESTAR GALACTICA FINAL EPISODE.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh yeah, I forgot, but did someone else notice. The special effects of this final episode were complete shit compared to the prime work seen on almost every other episode. Seems well rushed, and that "attack" on the Cylon base was just complete waste of time. Random shooting with no sense of orientation for the viewer, maybe because of the horrible camerawork.

Yeah, a complete failure from the technical crew.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

They all chose to break the vicious cycle of alcoholism. Is the whole series a cat's paw for Alcoholics Anonymous?

I was speaking idiomatically.
