Just saw the final episodes.

I give it a B+.

Things that were done poorly for me

1. Cavill shooting his head off. Somebody else could have done it for him. Ellen or Tigh would have been good candidates.

2. Kara Thrace is NOT the harbinger of death. While she maybe an angel that can disappear into vapor, no attempt was made to explain her new viper or how the original Kara Thrace ended up crash landed on Earth #1.

3. It took Galactica one jump to get to the Cylon Colony and it took Boomer more than 12. I guess they could explain this away if it had been said during the series that Galactica had DEFINITELY been upgraded with Cylon engines...but it was never said definitely. Small point.

4. Wouldn't the rest of the Cylon basestars come looking for them? I kept expecting the Basestars to show up at the final battle only to be conveniently sucked into the black hole.

5. Never concluded what happened to Kara Thrace's presumably harvested eggs from the episode "The farm".

6. It never was explained who annihilated the skin-job cylons on Earth #1. Was it machine cylons rebelling against skin-job cylons? Or was it just your usual US/USSR type nuclear war? They never say.

7. The end up on earth 150,000 years ago. You'd be dealing with Austropithecines or some other proto-human, not "Tribesmen". I doubt any of the crew would want to marry into that family. Small point, but a funny one.

Things that went well:

1. Everything else, especially the final battle, which was predictable but still enjoyable.
