BSG

Watched the finale of BSG last night. What an incredibly lame ending. They found a second Earth a million light years distant from the last one they found? It’s inhabited with proto humanoid species with uh the same DNA as the surviving humans? Oh man <groan>.. come on.. what happened to good writing. They painted themselves into a corner and just threw a half honest effort to get on to their new jobs. Is it me getting older and expecting better writing or has writing just gotten worse through the years? I think one solution is to limit these shows to mini-series formats, 3-5 shows and it’s over. Sitcoms are really the only vehicles that can handle multiple seasons. Even then it’s usually takes a herculean effort to keep those shows from getting stale after a couple of seasons. Usually those devolve into serious dramas to save the last season.
