...well technically not really, since there's still the TV movie
The Plan, but that's a flashback/prequel. The storyline is officially over, after last night's series finale. I'm trying not to cry, trying to keep it together. Sigh. It was a great finale to a great series. That's not to say it was perfect. The ending on Earth was kind of drawn out for longer than it needed to be, at least in my opinion. I couldn't remember if I was watching
Battlestar Galactica or the end of
The Return of the King. Overall it was a great conclusion. The epic scale, alone, was awe-inspiring. What I really appreciated was the writers/producers ending the series in a way that almost guarantees no future sequels, which could cheapen the series. Prequels, on the other hand, are fair-game. There already is a series lined up,
Caprica, about the young Adama, which if it's half as good as
Galactica, will be an entertaining show. Sigh. I'm going to miss this show. Anyway, here are a few of the moments I enjoyed most from last night:
- the heart-stopping attack on the Cylon colony
- Athena killing Boomer
- Tyrol discovering what happened to Cally and killing Tory
- Cavil offing himself in panic
- Starbuck jumping the ship to "Earth"
- Helo, Athena and Hera together as family
- Starbuck as angel? and vanishing
- President Roslin's last moments and Adama at her grave
- 150,000 years in the future and Hera as "Lucy"
