At the end, it all kinda felt like the writers were scraping the bottom of the barrel asking themselves, "What kind of moral/emotional dilemma can we throw at character X this week." And I agree about the pacing. I was hoping for things to gradually build toward the final conflict and resolution, but instead they dicked around and we were left with a slingshot ending that didn't really start until the last 5 minutes of the second-to-last episode. Overall, the show was enjoyable to a point, but the ending left me dissatisfied.<BR/><BR/>PS- I also thought that the religious aspect was unnecessary, but that's just me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-32897043760628696752009-03-25T15:17:00.000-07:002009-03-25T15:17:00.000-07:00I thought the flashbacks added a lot, including th...I thought the flashbacks added a lot, including thematically tying into the miniseries. I *DO* think that there were some big logical leaps at the end that could have been avoided a bit with shrewder writing, but overall a heartfelt episode.Jimtronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138709079942253485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-78887479467882718382009-03-25T00:13:00.000-07:002009-03-25T00:13:00.000-07:00Oh, and before anyone gets the wrong impression: w...Oh, and before anyone gets the wrong impression: when I say "the biggest complaint is the pacing", that basically means I think it's one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. Probably the most well-filmed, well-acted and well-written show, actually. Season 3 was a bit of a letdown, but boy did the miniseries and seasons 1, 2 and 4 rock!Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03442388706616569265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-90026062484330034172009-03-25T00:09:00.000-07:002009-03-25T00:09:00.000-07:00I think the biggest complaint one could have about...I think the biggest complaint one could have about BSG is that the pacing is uneven. The flashbacks in the final two episodes I felt didn't need to be in there, and a lot of time was wasted there. The characters are already so well fleshed out, we didn't need the extra background stuff. Well, okay, except for Baltar and his dad, and the Boomer piece.<BR/><BR/>But all in all it sure gave food for thought. I love the fact that at first we're led to believe the show takes place in the far-off future (Earth burned to a crisp), and then 10 episodes later it turns out to be the disstant past. Very well played.<BR/><BR/>A haunting show. It's been days since I've seen the finale, but I'm still thinking about it :)Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03442388706616569265noreply@blogger.com
