Battlestar Galati-kaka
I’ve loved watching Battlestar Galactica over the last four years. Last night the ultimate episode aired on Sky One in the UK, an event on which I’d be patiently waiting for months. The first half of the finale night was up to the usual high standards, but what the frak was the rest about!
As the Vancouver Sun commented:
The Adam-and-Eve ending is a terrible sci-fi cliche, even though Rod Serling managed to get away with it in one of his classic Twilight Zone episodes. It’s creative writing 101: If you’re writing a dystopian science-fiction tale, do not write an Adam-and-Eve ending. It’s already been done countless times, and better.
Anders should have taken the show writers and producers on the final joy ride into Earth’s sun! You guys made a clusterfrak with that ending. I couldn’t believe it was the same show I was watching last night as the one I’d spent the last few years enjoying! You’re a bunch of motherfrakers for wrecking a great series!
Here’s hoping the spin-off series, “Caprica”, is more BSG pre-finale episode rather than that excuse of a last hour. I’ll don’t think I’ll bother if it is going to continue in a similar vein as BSG ended.
