Galactica Finale: So Good So Good So Good

That's how you wrap a series.  

The Galactica Finale was so satisfying.  At one point I was completely ready to let the series go, and noticed there were still 40 minutes left.

We got to see where every character was heading - no loose threads to follow, no more stories to tell.   Sure we can always write some fan-fiction about the Adventures of Tyrol, or overanalyze what Six means by "he doesn't like that name" (is "God" the good guy or perhaps the devil?  They were wearing red...).  We can debate whether or not Ron Moore is such a bad actor that he can't pull off reading a magazine convincingly.

Nope - this one was satisfying.   An hour of wrapping up the story, and then an hour of character exploration.  We found out who or what Starbuck is and it made enough sense.  The Galactica herself is gone now, and the story-arc written in such a way that there's no way to squeeze out a sequel if everyone gets money hungry.  Plus, for once a series came to a proper end.

This final half season had some of the best episodes of the entire series.  I will miss BSG, and still have my doubts about Caprica - but I'm feeling really good about the Ron Mooreiverse this morning.
