I have been fairly disappointed all season. I feel like they totally blew it. I
really didnt think they would really boil the entire thing down to simply
morality tale of good vs evil where the good guys literally ride off into the
sunset. Maybe the Lost writers planned it that way all along. If so they conned
everyone into believing the "everything is not what it appears to be" lie
they've been touting since the beginning. There were some touching moments and
some fine acting in the last hoorah but really, it was just another easy wrap
that deftly avoided actual complexity. From series that's been paying lip
service to complexity since it began. They asked us to believe they would do
better and promised to deliver and in the end, they didnt. No real suprise
there but disappointing none the less. It wasn't terrible but it could have and
should have been soooo much more.I don't feel betrayed as I did with Galactica
but I definitely feel like I was
promised gourmet meal and got McDonald's instead.

Watched, cared...loved it all up until the last five minutes where they
gave us the biggest copout, cliché d ending since...I won't compare for fear of
spoiling. :P

Did anyone watch? Did anyone care? I'm still gathering my thoughts. I'm holding
off on discussion of specifics for fear of spoilage.
I'm torn, really torn. There are somethings I liked and somethings I didnt. I
think they may be the same as the things I've liked and disliked about the show
the whole time.
I rewatched the pilot episode and while I am not thoroghly convinced that they
had the whole thing planned out, I think there was some definitive planning
from the beginning. I think Locke teaching Walt to play backgammon was
indicative of such.
I'm walking away from six seasons not feeling Galactica'd but not necessarily
satisfied either.
Anyone else?
