Ok, here's what really annoys me.

I know the entire theme of the show has been, "All this has happened before, and will happen again." But I always assumed that the story we were watching would be the one in which the cycle was broken. But for the characters, for the fleet and Battlestar Galactica to go through ALL THAT just so they could abandon everything that they knew and start the cycle all over again. My god, that's just wretched.

One of the first things I thought after watching the finale was, "maybe Dee had the right idea afterall =/" Their entire struggle was pretty useless in the end. Instead of, I dunno, honoring their history and their past and everything they had learned through their recent struggles, they decide to completely throw it all away. Clean slate bull. Why not work together to build a new civilization? One in which the trauma of the cylon/human war is remembered so that history doesn't repeat itself. But oh wait, if they had done that then that wouldn't have fit in nicely with the whole, "they're our ancestors" idea. So what, in the end, our rag-tag group of survivors find their final destination and choose to split up into little groups and go die in the wilderness? Because that's what ultimately happened, I'm sure. Aside from the super capable like the Agathon family, I'm betting that many of the colonials died within a few years of dispersing on the planet. So pointless.

How much more badass would it have been if they had built a new civilization, one that took humanity and technology further than it had ever gone before? Having survived the cylon/human war and found a way not just to coexist, but to love one another, they had the potential to take civilization to whole new heights. Instead they're in Africa. Hunting animals with pointy sticks.

IF they really had to do the flash forward to our present time thing, then I wish they had done it differently. The whole tone of the last 3 minutes was off. Like they completely switched gears and it was like watching a different show. BSG has always been on the darker side, so why bring in all that cheese all of sudden? They could have played it so much more true to the series. Like if they fast forward to the the future and we see a war in which "humans" are fighting robots, without realizing that humans themselves are robots. Something other than the *wink wink* dur hur hur, look ma! It's our New York!
