I didn’t mind the spiritualism in the end. I did mind the sudden change from dark and realistic tone of the series to what was essentially either an unrealistic disney ending, or one of the most depressing endings to any series I have ever seen. I liked most of those characters, and they didn’t deserve such horrible (implied) endings.

In a move which should shock no one, I voted that the finale blew goats…sadly that wasn’t an actual voting option, so I picked the lowest rating possible.

Hated the finale. Would have strongly preferred the Cylons just win the climatic battle and wipe humanity from the galaxy.

Given that there was no poll option for “It’s done, already. Get _over_ it.”, I voted for “loved it”.

But, seriously. Get over it. Christ.

Yes, anyone who complained about the spiritualism of the finale wasn’t paying much attention to the rest of the series.

I think it was about as good as could’ve been expected. Though I think the series overall was a bit of a mess, and highly overrated, so take that as you will.

The Caprica pilot was pretty good, I thought.
