Tomorrow night is the series finale for Battlestar Galactica. I have watched the entire series, even suffering through some of the worst dialogue in the history of television. (I refer to the “frakking” episode, where about every 5th word was some variation of “frak”. I guess they were channeling Deadwood or something.)
There are a few open issues I would like to see resolved. In no particular order:
- Will Baltar’s treachery (deactivating the planetary defense shields from the miniseries) be revealed to everyone? He destroyed the only video evidence in Season One (I think it was then). But will Six rat him out?
- What happened to Baltar’s nuclear weapon? He got one to do some of his Cylon testing and it was last seen in the possession of one of the Sixes on a civilian ship.
- What exactly happened to Starbuck? Was that really her corpse she found?
- Will Roslin finally friggin’ die? Enough already. Can’t stand the character.
I would have preferred to have seen what happened if the mutiny on Galactica had succeeded. I think it would have been interesting to watch Zarek and Gaeda try to lead while everything is crashing down around them. It likely would have meant the end of the human race, but what the heck.
Lastly, I hope there will be some finality. I don’t want loose ends, with the possibility of a follow-up movie or something. Just end it.
