BSG finale
Finished watching the BSG finale.
OMG BRB SOBBING.
SOBBING.
Honestly, I had issues with the series from start to finish, and certainly in the last two seasons. Often it seemed like whenever the writers needed to explain something, they'd just throw in a flashback. And then Dee went and shot herself (I freaking KNEW she'd get fridged). And then Gaeta went off the deep-end, Sam got shot, Saul lost his kid, Boomer took Hera, and everything was just shit. All the angst was getting on my nerves. :P
Basically the whole show was so freaking depressing throughout that I was sure I'd be desensitized to whatever they threw at us in the finale.
OH-HO, NO. I was crying from when Boomer died all the way to the end. All. The way.
OH, BOOMER. SAM. KARA. LAURAAAAA.
I honestly don't know how good the episode was as a whole -- parts of it were brilliant, definitely, but the end was a bit preachy, and mitochondrial Eve being Hera was a little strange considering there was something of the same species on the planet already, close enough to breed with. If she's the most recent common ancestor and all the world's people spread out over the earth from her line, it would imply that everyone in the future had a half-cylon ancestor, which means that none of the other people who made it to Earth procreated, and I don't know if I feel like unpacking all that, but... definitely strange.
Mostly I didn't care though, because of these characters that I fell in love with making me cry. I knew Laura would die, but that didn't stop me sobbing like a baby. And Sam and Kara's goodbye scene killed me as well. I've always liked them more than Kara/Lee. And when she disappeared on Lee... what was she, anyway, an angel? Even Saul made me cry, he and Ellen. Even Gaius did, and I never could stand him. And I was so happy Helo and Athena were together in the end, they were my OTP.
Anyway, yes. All done with BSG. brb crying some more.
