I won’t say anything more than it was a beautiful ending, and Ron Moore did the entire lore justice, even as far back as 1978.

Tonight marks the end of Ron Moore’s reimaging of “Battlestar Galactica”. I’m not going to sugar-coat this, I’m very worried about this finale. I could be patient and wait until after the show is over before writing a whole blog post about it, but something in my gut tells me that not everything is going to be wrapped up nice and neat by the time 11pm rolls around on the east coast.

Originally I didn’t like BSG. I was such a fan of the original that I couldn’t think of Starbuck as a woman, or that humans created the Cylons. However, it was the writing that won me over and I changed my views on the show. Now I’m one of its biggest fans, but I’m starting to wonder if I invested too much in a show that could possibly disappoint in the end.

The original 1978 BSG was one of the first shows I remember that had an actual story arc, and didn’t use its main premise as a vehicle to keep the show running ad nauseum like Space: 1999 did. Back in those days, shows ended abruptly, so you couldn’t write ahead for fear of being cancelled as late as July before the next season. BSG tried to finish the arc with “Galactica 1980″ which fell flat on its face, despite two actually decent shows. What fans like me wanted was a proper ending to a decent story, and tonight we might get it. Will it be the ending that saves the show? I sincerely hope so. There are three important things I need to see resolved:

Who/what is Starbuck?

Does the Human race find a home and end this circle of conflict?

Is there some connection between Cylons and Humans? It’s been alluded to, but something tells me there’s more to it.

I’m really hoping that when the finale ends tonight, you look back at the last six years of the show and all the struggles that these people went through and you say “well that was damn good”.

So say we all.
