Attention Battlestar Galactica Writers

The 80's called. They'd like their Dallas plot line back.

Or, perhaps a line from Grey's Anatomy,

"Seriously?"

We had our usual BSG group, minus Engaged Boy who is off in Texas mopping up someone else's mess, over last PM to watch the finale. There were elements of the steamy soap opera, lots of Baltar as a Christ-figure, Dylan in the walls, a hint of Perry Mason, even a splash of "Mr. Smith goes to Washington." Plus the shark jumps...

Although I rank as a non-rabid fan, I still felt that the ending (or maybe most of the episode) reflected writers who realized a few hours before air time that they hadn't figured out what to do in the next season.

Not sure what we'll do late on Sunday nights without BSG plotlines to dissect.
