BSG finale: wrap-up

I am disappointed that they didn't explain Thrace. Like, maybe the writers came up with half an hour of flashbacks to explain her. And then they thought, "Oh no! This finale is three hours long and we only have two hours of airtime! Let's cut this, we don't need it." So Thrace magically vanishes.

The fact that angels are real -- witness the 6 and Balthar angels, visible to Balthar and 6; also witness Thrace, apparently an angel and visible to everyone -- makes a strong case for the fact that the writers are in favor of monotheism, despite the pervasive polytheism throughout BSG.

Overall, I am satisfied. BSG was really excellent for the first ~2 years, and the last 4-5 episodes. The middle part was bad in the way that Lost is bad: lots of unexplained and badly-written stuff. How can the cylons be intelligent enough to engineer artificial biological life, but stupid enough to think that a virus can be transmitted via radio waves and the uploading/reincarnation process? I liked the internal consistency of the show, and of course I like robots. And Diplomacy-like tension, backstabbing, etc. The premise was excellent, and the execution was very good.

I would recommend this to others. Goodnight, sweet internet, goodnight.
