Musical genius came out of Season 4. Nothing else really mattered.
Also, I did not mind ending, nor care too much for. Because I've forgotten how it ended by now.
BSG was an excellent miniseries. It's a shame they never made a full TV series out of it.
BSG was great for the first two seasons, but stopped being worthwhile after that. I wish I'd stopped watching after Season 2.
Heroes wasn't supposed to end that way but was canceled, NBC supposedly is working on a 2 hour tv movie that wraps it all up. The lost ending was okay, not great. BSG was a mess in the last season. That is what happens to shows that are written as they go along without any clear laid out storyline.
Now before watching a series that has a storyline that goes on week to week I read up on it to see if it is planned out or if it is just week to week.
I was worried about supernatural, this last season had been planned to be the last season in the original storyline. One of the few times I can recall a show being extended because of demand beyond the original planned story arc. It seems the writers though have some good stories planned for this season that should be fun.
You have to admit the final battle was pretty awesome though.
The WORST ending for any series was Stargate:Atlantis...
even if it was redundant at times.
You know who got screwed more with the ending of BSG than you? Apollo. That poor bastard lost EVERYONE. Even when he thought "whoah I finally made it to earth, with my dad, and the girl I really have been destined to be with my whole life... " BLAM! Dad leaves him and Starbuck ends up to be some Angel or something and leaves him. he gets left behind with the neandrthals.... not to mention he had to wear that fat suit during the course of the story. Do you remember the fat suit? Horrible.
That being said, I was fine with the ending. They did what they could.
Even more so in HD. There's a lot of detail you can't see, even in cable 1080i compressed.
The WORST ending for any series was Stargate:Atlantis. The original SG-1 was a band of heroes who destroy the Goauld and free the galaxy. Then they defeat the Replicators and the Ori.
Stargate:Atlantis? We go to the Pegasus galaxy and awaken the wraith early threatening civilizations that have endured the wraith culling for centuries because the wraith can not afford to leave some humans to rebuild for future cullings. Then we develope the Hoffan drug. Which Michael, who we also made, used to kill off half the humans he gave it to. We let the Wraith know about zpm's, giving them a huge weapon if they can find more. We turned on the Atero device, destroying a settlement of the most advance humans in Pegasus. Oh, and we helped the Genii to make A-bombs which they could use to subjugate humans in Pegasus if the wraith are somehow destroyed.
Then we took Atlantis and ran back to our galaxy.
A sad, sorry end to a great franchise.
It is but it isn't. That wasn't supposed to be the series finale, Stargate: Extinction was. But the recession took a massive toll on MGM, and now they're so poor that they can't even afford to make a James Bond movie let alone a Stargate movie. So the final episode of SGA is the de facto ending, but not the de jure ending.that's assuming you even call that an ending.
Exactly. I still watched until the end. The first two seasons were focused on how 50K humans, all that's left of humanity, are going to survive when they're on a couple dozen ships, protected by one military ship, and being hunted down by machines with eradication on their mind. And all the troubles that situation entails. And they did it really well.
Then they dove into the deep end of spirituality, religion, etc. and the whole show jumped the shark. It became less sci-fi and more fantasy.

What is this Battlestar Galactica you speak of?
Is it something new or a compilation of the 1978 (debuting) TV series?
