The greatest television show ever had a... erm, problematic ending.
To be sure, a) I don't think the whole season should be written off (the mutiny two-parter was fantastic, for example), and b) there were some things in the finale that worked very, very well.
But certain things could have been handled better. Basically everything from the moment Roslin asked "Where have you taken us, Kara?" felt rushed, oversimplified, and just generally huh?
Except the stuff with Starbuck. That actually made sense, and, if anything, was dragged out too much.
And the "150,000 years later" coda was entirely unnecessary.
All of that said, it wasn't quite the end the show deserved, but it was a damn sight better than Buffy's finale (seriously, just stop watching that show after Season 5).
Wait, I was going somewhere positive with this. Oh, right.
The greatest television show ever ended five years ago today. Boy howdy do I miss it.
