You're uncyncial because you refuse to rail against something that's clearly awful; extra awful because the series was so well done and this, this horrible series finale. BLAH. You know it sucks, yet you refuse to embrace that reality. You actually give it the benefit of the doubt. WTF?

Well, because it's not clearly awful, obviously.

Like I said, I rather liked it, given the dark, hopeless nature of the tale and the fact that cyclical time is something of a departure from what we normally see.

New? Worse. The cycle is way worse than any other imagined future.

Exactly. Why do you have trouble understanding why this appeals to me?

I hate the implication that god is out there making worlds with poeple on them and experimenting and mixing them and whatever but just can't seem to make humans that don't end up destroying themselves by making artificial mind.

Maybe that's what it wants?

Face it - nuclear Armageddon looks cool. Perhaps perpetual cycles of nuclear annihilation is God's solution to not having TV to watch.

I hated that they were agents of god walking about and how that invalidated the more entertaining aspects of wondering why Baltar was hallucinating 6 all the time. I hated all the stock footage of our robot toys implying we're going down that road again. I hated the reference to god the entity and what it likes or dislikes. I hated the implication that the Eve creature we're all apparently descended from was the cylon hybrid. I hated that they found humans living on that world already, that they could breed with them, that we are their mixed descendants. I hate that they destroyed all their advanced technology and joined the savages. I hate the implication that god is out there making worlds with poeple on them and experimenting and mixing them and whatever but just can't seem to make humans that don't end up destroying themselves by making artificial mind.

Well said.

Well, I've no arguments with any of that.

Seriously? That was unexpected.

What, you're channeling Nessus now.
