BSG had more endings and denouement than even LoTR. The only thing they left out was Apollo playing Scrabble with the natives. (geek cred check on that one!) I think they could have ended with them landing. I didn't like that there were already people on the planet. "We can teach them!" Yeah, right. More like "We can 'eff up their existence!" I guess they really aren't into the Prime Directive. Even with the scene of them explaining that EVERYBODY wanted a clean start as an explaination of why they left all their tech, I call BS. Yeah, the guy with diabetes is going to be cool with getting rid of the equipment that make insulin. And great choice Athena and Helo; hope you enjoy your choice as much when Hera pricks her finger on a thorn and dies from a blood infection 'cause there are no antibiotics around. And how many farmers did they actually have? Not enough for the 20 groups they seeded across the planet, I bet. The poor SOBs that got put in Canada in the summer will be worse off in winter than the pilgrams. It's a society that more advanced than we are now. Can you imagine 38,000 random Americans in that situation? I grew up on a farm, and I can't you jack about gardening much less widescale agriculture. I don't think the people of the twelve colonies would be that stupid to think they could survive with that little tech. Yeah, Baltar will be a great asset for the small group of people in his area, but even a lot of his knowledge is based on at least having plows! They don't even have any domesticed animals! I also wasn't wild about the Starbuck and other 'angels' thing. Especially having BaltAngel and CapricAngel in present day. Yeah, a large part of the show had a spiritual thing going on, but I thought that was a bit much. Oh, and thanks Chief for fraking up the armistice! I don't get why Cavil killed himself. I knew Starbuck was a playa', but damn, making a play for your BF's brother while he is passed out in the next room? What a 'ho. And Admiral Adama leaving his son to be a hermit? After everything they have been through? What a douche. I did enjoy the previes fo Stargate Universe, though. Was it just me, or did it seem to be filmed using the same style as BSG? I don't have a prob with that. ~Ron

With no fleet in orbit or parked on the planet, it would have been harder for an evil Cylon fleet to identify them as the Galactica humans. If they hadn't kept all the technology on New Caprica a few years ago, the Cylons may not have figured out it was them. Just a thought.

Is it wise for everyone to split up right off the bat? Don't you think they should assess exactly what they are up against, considering this is a whole new world? I guess the excuse they could use is that they did that in the Raptors off screen. Yeah ok..
