First reaction: that should have been better.

Battlestar Galatica was a good show. It was not a perfect show, but at times it was extraordinarily great. The final hour of it was an exercise in navelgazing fanboy wankery that not only jumped the shark, but turned around and ran the boat over it. That last hour it stopped being a show and became a long rambling love letter by that ex you really, really wanted to stay in a relationship with, but they were just too crazy and you got tired of the rollercoaster. The show stopped being a show and tried to be something more, Something Deep and Meaningful and it failed, while turning into a joke. Then you found out that the past 5 years was just angels mucking around in celestial version of Trading Places and you realize how terrible the joke is.

I had thought that 2 hours wasn’t enough time to wrap everything up. It was actually too much, giving the writers time to pad things out and seeing how much they could screw with the audience.

Second reaction, after sleeping on it: That was really terrible, see previous paragraph.
