I finally watched the ending to BSG and honestly I'm feeling sort of meh towards the second half. Now it was nice that they went and showed everyone to sort of wrap it up, that I liked. No, the part I didn't like had to do with something I find really annoying in the modern age.
Ok so in the end they dropped everyone off on earth sans tech and everyone sort of turned all stone agey. Seriously? You seriously think that this was a great idea. Now I admit it gave you that touching little bit with AngelSix and AngelBaltizar talking about how in the modern world we may yet survive and not go and explode again but just stop already. Technology is not the enemy and I'm so sick of seeing people who go on and on about how much BETTER things were back in the day before technology. Look things sucked then in an entirely different way. It was not some wondrous golden time. Why don't you stop with this whole baby out with the bath water thing and actually work toward change. You want real change then you work at it you don't just hit a fucking reset button. That isn't real change. That's the same false line of thought that leads to suicide. "Well I fucked up before and I think instead of working to fix things I will just kill myself." Oh and spare me the preaching about suicide that's an example and not what annoys me.
So I guess I liked about half of the ending. Really that whole reset button shit annoyed me so much the entire ending was tainted. Maybe I'll watch it again with family and like it but I don't know. That just grates on my freaking nerves. Other parts I really liked. I liked the opera house bits and that the darkskinned first 5 gets her freaking neck snapped. Never liked that character.
I guess I'll count that as a win so far as the series goes but I still feel kind of annoyed and let down. I suppose I should have seen the ending coming (hints a mile wide and all) so I can't be all that upset. Anyhow *sigh* I can't wait to finish it up with the family.
