The worst part about this scene is how completely unprepared Adama is. There he is, talking about how he hopes she's got a green thumb and he looks over and BAM! he realizes she's gone. It's so painful to watch, Olmos is a great actor.

There should be a law passed that everyone has to watch Battlestar Galactica

but good god this ending ;_; IMO, i think the whole series should have ended after Adama's speech.

I don't know if I'm the only one, but I fucking hated the 150,000 year later ending. It totally butchered the passionate feelings I was feeling at this part

Such great music Bear creates!

[Vespyro]

This is such an amazingly powerful piece of music.

@olive12121 Well, all of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again, and again, and again, and again, and again.

Hopefully one of those times, the writers won't frak up the ending and make it better.

Though admittedly I did like Kara's disappearing and the end with Adama/Roslin. I guess i'm pretty satisfied for nothing Adama and Saul's good-byes. Friends like that need no good-bye.

and good gods I'm tearing up just thinking about it

[olive12121]

I rewatched the last episode: the first time I cried when Adama sees dead Roslin. I guess I paid attention to the music.

The easterly view ending was amazing: the emotion built by four seasons prior was amazing, the music was as always genius. The mitochondrial eve end was just so fake! the dialogue, the setting, even the song played (they should've used the final five song not the version with the words!) and why did the series have end with baltar and six!

@Bawbster1

The ME bit was good.... but it did kind of ruin the emotion built up by the previous scenes, you cannot deny.

It was a good ending... but I reckon they should've done it after the credits. Like in movies when they have small extras after the credits. It should've been then. The show deserved to go out with powerful emotion, not fantastic music.

[Bawbster1]

@icyclaw123 NO - the Mitochondrial Eve ending was fantastic.  Otherwise, what was so special about Hera? Agreed on that Law we should pass though

[TheAtomicusBomb]

I love the moment when he talks about farming, where he relizes after all the knowledge, and changing himself he did to be sombody. That in the end it was his roots and his father which gave him the most important knowledge.

@icyclaw123 There wasnt any part of BSG that I hated. In my opinion it was a perfect show

[ineptuneviii]

I know a lot about farming...
