On the Battlestar Galactica finale

The questions I would have liked answered did not get answered. Instead we got some silly quasi-religious themes, complete with angels. The show went out with a whimper instead of a bang. My take on the ending below.

[Spoiler alert]

Finding a habitable planet (a new Earth) with pre-technology natives, the people leave technology behind, fly all the technology into the sun, and help repopulate humanity by blending in with the locals (or not). We then flash-forward 150,000 years, and left with a prophetic warning (complete with a cameo by co-producer Ronald Moore) about the dangers of robots. Then exit with Jimi Hendrix doing “All Along the Watchtower.” The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland (Remastered) - All Along the Watchtower Maybe more fully channeling the end of The Matrix by playing Rage Against the Machine Rage Against the Machine would have been too much to ask. A little wink with someone keeping some advanced technology around would have been slighly more interesting.
