I'm going to pass on watching them. The series is over, so it would be a waste of time in my opinion.

I can certainly understand.

I didn't get to watch the whole series of episodes, but the end of the finale was pretty damn impressive.

To see a the deployment of Cylons at the stadium and watch them take out several suicide bombers was in some ways more chilling than seeing the Clone Troopers departing Coruscant at the end of Episode II. Although, unfortunately, some of the CGI rendering looked rushed and not a whole better than what is seen in the "Clone Wars" cartoon series.

They also did sort of an accelerated bit of what would have come later if the series had continued. In someways it is too bad that they were able to convincingly give us the rest of the series in about 5 minutes or so. I do think it will help set the stage for the version of the franchise.

I was particularly surpised that the young hooligan William Adama was not the one that grows up to be Edward James Olmos' character. There's a head scratcher for you that I will leave to stew.

See now, you are making me want to at least watch the last episode. :frust: :lol:

I suppose it would provide a small conclusion for the first handful of episodes I watched.

I'm sure they will rerun them. I'll see if I can catch the last one.

Hey, if the pace of the series had been more like what we had with the final episode I have no doubt this show would not be getting canned! Watching the last episode in particular made me wish I had invested more in the series, but honestly I could not bring myself to work at watching it when it was on.

I hate it when a show's writers/creators throw most of their energy into giving us really good beginning and endings, but mediocre to stinky garbage for the filler.

I think they were trying to be deliberate in what they were giving us. However, to my mind, at the rate they were going it was going to be damn hard to get up to the first war within the time frame of this series. BSG capped its run at 4 seasons. There were frustratingly slow points during the series, but they always managed to move the story forward. There just seemed to be too many directions for this one to follow to get to where it needed to be at the end of it.

I really think they could have done without a lot of the Tauran gangster story line. Especially, the enforcer character in light of what they revealed about who the real Bill Adama is at the end. It makes that whole story line seem way more than pointless.
