I very much enjoyed the ending. I don’t know why people are complaining about so many things including the ending. To me a good show or movie must have an unexpected and provoking ending. This one really was a huge surprise. Sure the humans didn’t arrive at Earth to be rescued by other fully developed humans – which was the ending that I’m sure we were all hoping for. The hole series involved so much from our culture, beliefs, values, history, and so forth. SO ofcourse, the matter in which the series ended was a perfect ending for me. They (the Galactica survivors) were therefore the type of people (if they were only real) fit to be our ancestors as they shared so many of our values, religious conflictions and commonalities, human flaws.

Furthermore, my interpretation of the ‘cut corners’ is as follows. The series accentuates our human flaws and downfalls, one of which was the fact that the ‘toasters’ were invented to make human life easier. If you think about it, the initial function of these robots is to ‘cut corners’ – hence the corner-cut pages and screens and ballots, etc. This is a current happening in our real world today: we are “cutting corners” when we invent human-like robots for many purposes especially for military experimentation, but mostly to make our lives easier.

This hole corner-cutting thing (again, as I’ve interpretted it), ties back to my first point about the ending of the series. What you all may have precieved as a ‘corner-cutting’ of an ending, I saw as a perfect wrap – up of the series. Realizing their ‘original sin’ of creating the robots and allowing technology and the pursuit of it to dominate them to the extent that it almost wipes their race out, they realize the only way to avoid this is to dump all of their technology and start from scratch.

I loved the series, everyday I discover something new. Like the other day, I was reading my history book, I discovered that the tiny angel statue that Kara gives Bill Adama is an actual reference to the statue of Winged Victory Samoe Thrace, Greek goddess of Victory (note Kara’s last name is Thrace who in that episode or the few after brings victory to Galactica). The story behind the Winged Victory is that this goddess came to a Commander’s ship (2nd century BC) after having won a great sea battle and landed on the ship’s prow to greet the victorious fleet. She lands or mounts on the ship’s prow which is the exact location on which Commander Adama places the tiny statue on his model ship.

This is quiet funny as from what is knowned, there was no “Y”, but only “XX” DNA. The degradation of “xx”, the unfit, malformation of a female, turn a female into what is called a male, the scientific Adam apeared! So for all the god stuff… What was he (who do not exist) doing when we were only worms???

Quite simple – bunch of pro- and anti- religious nuts simply can’t easily enjoy and discuss an idea, only have to have everything exactly to their liking.

The ending is the greatest one for a tv series ever. All major characters are given resolution. Howver one is left for more story. What happened next? How did they influence our modern day society through out the ages.

the final battle star ending wasn’t what i expected but really sparked the imagination to our own humans history. before watching so many ideas was running around my head to how they would end it. apart of me was thinking that the fleet would jump out of FTL in orbit only to have the US launch missiles at them and collect the advance tech and let history repeat it self. but what really is pissing me of it when baltar and 6 at the end was talking about history repeating it self over and over he said the the following words kobol , Earth then a short pause then said the real earth before this one. i could be wrong but could a group of humans on a continent lets say Australia continued using technology which led to another repeat????
