Well, I'll be damned. It wasn't earth. At least not the one we live on. Craziness, I actually really liked the ending.

I've been thinking about the mixed reviews people have been giving for the last few years. First and foremost, the series "Band of Brothers" forever changed television. I think this was really the first movie quallity expanded storyline show. Since then, movies have gotten worse, and I think this is due to the fact that we don't feel that they can tell any type of story or have character development in 2 hours.

So we watched the miniseries or the first season and got hooked. We all had a "What the frak is this" moment that started us down this road. The first season was awesome "What if and How so" sci fi. It answered lots of questions about how humans would live in space and run from an enemy. Then the second season sucked because they started writing non plot driven episodes. The new caprica episodes and the liberation and then the hub and razor. Those got back to being more plot driven. We got somewhat hooked again with more plot lines and forward movement even though it was moving at a snail's pace sometimes. And then the end and all of the revelations. I don't think it could have lived up to some peoples expectations because they had gotten off the bus quite a while ago. For me, it was a great show and I'm sad that it is gone, but I don't regret being a fan.

The biggest problems that I had with the show were the illogical and incorrect writing of military officers and pilots to some degree. If I wasn't both myself, I doubt this would have been as big an issue. Of course, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I have been standing on my couch screaming at my television when there was a legitimate opportunity to shoot Baltar or off a Cylon, but that was part of the show.

Thanks to Skip for starting this thread. Thanks to Zman and legion and red beard and others for keeping it going. I'm sure we'll easily pass 1100 posts. I wonder where this ranks with non-porsche related threads on Pelican?!
