There are a few good bits in that last hour, not just Adama and Roslin, but the last shot of the fleet. The problem is that they're good bits.

Not worth the agony of allowing the other alleged hour to exist.

Spoilerised for Mark's benefit:
I don't have a problem with Kara disappearing without a proper explanation, although I can easily see why others would, but the Luddite nonsense got up my nose. They'd just come out of a genocidal war with their own creations, found out that this sort of thing had a habit of repeating itself, and instead of recording the issue in great detail to prevent future generations from repeating the same mistakes they went out of their way to prevent such records being produced. They also threw all the technology that could have helped them establish their new colony into the sun, exposing them to a far greater degree than necessary to local predators, weather conditions and natural disasters. Idiots.

Kara disappearing seemed obvious to me - that wasn't Kara. They made it perfectly plain that Kara was dead, they even found her body. So the Kara we saw was one of the "angels", like the Six and Baltar we see wandering around.

As for the Luddite stuff, I don't mind it at all. The fleet was finished anyway; at best they could land them and scrap them for raw materials. And after all they'd been through, I can well imagine the people on the fleet just wanting to give up on it all and try another way of living. It seemed rather fitting to me.

The idea of setting up shop on a new planet is fine - it's the fact that they deliberately destroyed all their technology rather than use it to help establish the new colony, and the fact that they made no effort to record their experiences of creating and fighting the Cylons. Lee's apparent belief that simply setting up an agrarian society would "break the cycle" is one of the most idiotic pieces of drivel I've heard from any programme.

Well I didn't have a problem with it. Made sense to me, in fact. And indeed, it essentially worked to a great extent; the previous cycle only took a couple of thousand years to repeat, but their approach bought them something like 150,000 years until we ruined it. :D

You people KNOW I can't resist a spoiler block. If nBSG happened in the same universe as Terminator......then everything old IS new again :mrgreen:

Except she flipped out about it, finding the real Kara's body that is. That's the part that seems odd for one of the "angels."

How would you feel if you stopped off and found "your own body"?

Well, she seemed rather convinced she was alive. You can tell by the "If that's me lying there then what am I?" She thought she was alive, found out she wasn't, and didn't figure out what she was until the end. Like Deep said -- how would you feel if you found your own body?

Yeah, a real "well.....shit" moment, that.

The series gets a lot better from here on.

Thank god....because I honestly almost stopped watching a few episodes ago. But I admit confusion about something. If
Col. Tigh
is one of the final five cylons, and he's boffing
Caprica Six
how the hell did she get pregnant? It was stated that two skinjobs couldn't reproduce in season 1.
