Well, I thought the end was a little long. I was like "enough already" because it reminded me of the Way Lord of the Rings 3 ended -- you kept on following all the ends of the characters, but really, you just wanted the credits to roll.
I did like the jump forward to 150,000 years in the future.
My problems with this episode:
1) 150,000 years later and Earth tech is pretty lame. Of course, we don't know if they have FTL capable ships, or even limited space travel. It just didn't seem high-tech enough for me.
2) Kara Thrace. They didn't explain her death/rebirth satisfactorily enough for me. Yes, I've read some of these posts, and the show pretty much spells out that she's an Angel. I just don't buy it. If she comes back to life, then how did she bring a brand new viper along for the ride? Did God give her the viper? The only thing that fits is that she had a Jesus Christ-like resurrection. No machinery was involved, God just brought her back to life. Along with a brand new Viper. In the end, Christ ascends to heaven; Kara Thrace just disappears -- kinda the same thing. I would've preferred a more scientifc approach to the Kara storyline instead of just saying "It was God's plan". That's just bad writing.
I guess the question is: Are you open to believing that supernatural acts can occur without any logical reason? That has been part of the BSG message all along, hasn't it?
