I can't begin to express my utter disappointment in the ending of the finale. It's not like I loved the episode, I didn't. I felt like there were a lot of cop-outs. But there were some truly lovely moments. Pretty much cried during all the of the goodbyes and send offs.

Roslin/Doc Coddle, Bill & Lee, Bill & Kara with the "nothing but the rain" exchange, Kara & Sam "see you on the other side", Bill putting his ring on Laura's finger - oh my gooood. Also loved the interaction between Caprica and Baltar. Especially at the end when he broke down after commenting that he knew something about farming. That was lovely. Also nice to see Helo/Athena/Hera happy together for once. And the deaths of Boomer and Tori were satisfying too.

But the whole, heeeeeey, skip 150,000 into the future and you have our civilization! What the smurf is that ? Seriously? That's the kind of ending that people have speculated about for years and I always dismissed it as being too easy. I thought the whole, abandon technology and spread out across the globe was a dumb as smurf idea, but if they had left it at that, it might not have been so terrible. Like if they ended the show following the scene with Bill next to Roslin's grave. But the fast forward to our time was so intensely cheesy and hokey and WRONG.

Ugh. Horrible.
