Most LAME ending to any series EVER, 15 June 2009
7/10
Author: folkie-imdb from ottawa, ontario

Well, I haven't seen EVERY series ever made, but still, I can't imagine any series having a more lame ending than BSG.

As for the series...great characters, great acting (granted...a little heavy-handed at times), OK story-line (a bit heavy on the "this has all happened before and will happen again theme"), with many unexpected, clever and satisfying plot twists.

But skip the last 50 minutes of this series. Your disappointment at missing the ending cannot possibly be matched by your probable disappointment at seeing the ending.

It doesn't matter how good a movie like Robin Hood might be, how good the characters, acting, sets, cinematography are, if suddenly at the end of the show all the Merry Men decide to fan out across England, making Dutch wooden shoes. BSG's ending, by comparison, is much more absurd.

...been looking at some of the comments from other people.

First, I don't think I would have enjoyed watching this show AT ALL with commercials. More: I'm pretty sure the series would have suffered a LOT if I had to dribble it in across 4 years of real time.

Second, wow...people really watch that many episodes of a show they hate? The quality of the series (except for the final episode) is fairly consistent. If you don't like it and watch more than 3 or 4 episodes...what's WRONG with you?

Third, WHY would anyone compare the latest series to the original BSG? They're completely different. Compare the original BSG to its inspiration: Star Wars (BSG fails) and compare the latest BSG to a contemporary dark serial like...True Blood (True Blood is better (so far), but not by such a huge margin).
