BSG finale
Tonight I finally got a chance to watch BSG and I have only one observation, and that is: so, um, the Fleet are really Golgafrinchian?

laurashapiromakes some fine points about the show's sudden departure from its main thesis in the final episode, making it seem like the real message is "technology is bad" (although I would argue that maybe that was actually the main point of these 4 years because in the first 2-hr movie, the only reason Adama and his battlestar survived the devastation was because of his distrust in technology, and we were all fooled into thinking otherwise), I confess I wasn't watching the final hour being horrified at Lee Adama's dreams of exploration and being a good white man among the rudimentary natives. No, instead I kept waiting for Arthur Dent to appear in his robe, or for a Vogan ship to swing by. I'd have loved it if President Romo Lampkin had been passing out towels to everyone as they walked in a line past him.
Well, I guess, it is true that all this has happened before, and all this will happen again!
And actually, this post is a bit snarky, but I was happy to see Helo and Athena survive and that Hera was with them. After all that, that little family was all I cared about, and Adama (although for goodness sake, I'm very happy I never need to see him get drunk and then slober/throw-up/fall to the foor ever again) and Laura being together until she passed. Also, I never would have thought so when I started watching this show, but I rather completely love Baltar and I'm pleased he's not dead. I think the whole thing with them being, what, spirits from the future? demigods? human/cyclon consciousness? was a little wonky, really, but at least it tied back to the earliest episodes.
And that's that. All done!
