Well, there seems to be a lot of hate for the finale over at IMDb, but what else is new?
My thoughts (spoiler-free!):
- Those commercial breaks were TERRIBLY placed!!!
- The first hour is INTENSE - I can totally see why they haven't had any FX-heavy episodes in a while. Saving all the cash for this one.
- The second hour, which seems to be the source of the most "upsetness," I thought was perfect and a great send-off to the series. The final scenes I liked, except for the (Potential spoilers maybe?) dancing robots. (Spoilers done)
- While they didn't explain everything, I'm glad they didn't try. They really didn't need to anyway, and while I know some people will be upset with the nature of said revelations, I was fine with it.
- All in all, I frakkin' loved it, and thought it was a fantastic end to the series. I was wholly satisfied and didn't feel cheated at all, unlike some other series finales. *cough*X-Files!*cough*
I say it ranks with the best of Galactica's episodes - in fact, it might be #1 in my book. I have no (significant) complaints. Well done, Mr. Moore! (Nice cameo, btw)
