The End of Battlestar Galactica
Saturday, March 21, 2009
For the record, I enjoyed it.
I had to watch it, you don't miss that sort of thing. I wanted to find out how it was all going to be resolved.
Satisfyingly, I think.
Although I have no doubt that somewhere in the next six months to a year someone will point out to Ronald D Moore that all of that ending has happened before, most recently I think by Douglas Adams.
All is forgiven, though, for the fate of Starbuck (he's already catching a lot of flack for that, and I think Moore should shrug it off and keep going) because sometimes you don't get all the answers, and that's OK.
Look, if Battlestar can borrow an ending from DNA, I can borrow a line from Moffat.
Plus, the show wins for the final look at the eventual fate of the colonials and playing out with the tune that has haunted the series for a while.
On that note, it's probably time I called it a day here too. I think I would prefer to play out, like H2G2, with Louis Armstrong's "Wonderful World."
