Battlestar Galactica Comes To an End

On Friday evening, Battlestar Galactica ended its four-season run as one of the most popular science fiction shows in recent history. 2.4 million people tuned in for the finale, and reactions to the ending — positive, negative, and often a mix of both — are springing up all over the internet, as are tributes and retrospectives. Producers Ron Moore and David Eick held a Q&A session after the finale to discuss certain aspects of the story and spell out the final status of several plot lines. Fans of the show will have a chance to see the Cylon side of the story this fall in a two-hour TV movie titled "The Plan," and we've previously discussed the spin-off prequel series, Caprica, the pilot for which will come out on April 21st. Be warned: these links and the following discussion will contain spoilers.

Why the "goodriddance" tag?

[hellfire]

Yanno, I'm not a fanboi of BSG, but I do like it, and feel it's one of the best sci-fi series in a long time. And yet if the show isn't the pinnacle of art, the naysayers on this site come out and get ready to shitcan it. It's unbelievable. If you don't like it, it's fine, don't watch it. But do you have to assassinate it? Criticism is welcome, but if you try to bury it, you aren't going to get more sci-fi series of any quality, just more horror-sci-fi schlock and ghosthunter bullshit that gives the scifi channel the "cheapo paranormal crappy station." Constructive criticism is welcome, but can we cut the crap please?

PS: This is why I hate tags, are they really any useful or are they just a means of entertaining the ultra-sardonic and cynical?
