While watching the final hours of BSG provided little mirth, I was at least laughing my ass off reading
the Onion AV Club's comments.
- "Many key moments were handled so badly you would think George Lucas wrote this finale."
- "I think of all the haters who were joking about [ending by travelling through] the Black Hole and I think, 'If only ... '"
- "As a contemporary human, I'm pretty pissed off that my ancestors suffered through centuries [of] disease and ignorance because Apollo read the Caprica equivalent of 'Walden.'"
- "Will Galen find Slartibartfast's face in the glacier when he gets to Scotland?"
- "Yes, in a show with FTL travel, sentient robots, hybrids controlling capital ships, organic robots, and organic spaceships, the possible presence of some kind of god is the most ridiculous thing ever conceived."
- "Prophecytown, where fiction goes to die. "
Many laughs also here: Matt Ruff
"If there's a moral here, I think it's that you should decide how your story is going to end before you start telling it, so you can build organically towards that ending rather than retconning like mad in the eleventh hour."
