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.

It was great how the Opera House was tied into the story, but this ending has a lot of annoying gaps.
How Gaius and 6 were 150,000 years in the future?
What is Kara?
Why did they smash their fleet?
Why didn't the cylon base get damage from galactica practically jumping partially from inside of it?
In any case, this finale was rather good in the sense that it raised interesting questions, and tied some things together, despite the gaps in the plot (they ran out of airing time??) i highly enjoyed this finale!

That's the outcome all the time when you introduce God into a discussion.
And, in this case, the ending is a "Deus ex machina" - a sure sign, going back to ancient greek theatre, of bad plot endings.
Well great. With that correction, the ending just reverts to being stupid again. Anyway, I should have added IANAB (biologist) to my original post.
