The serenity of it is fitting in a way, I'd want to settle down too after everything they've been through, but in sure marketing hype fashion, we were certainly led to expect a life altering experience :) I’m very satisfied with it from a sci-fi perspective, but you’ve got a point on it not going out with a bang.

They hit everything they had to (Adama+Roslin, Starbuck, Hera's significance). Certainly a decent ending, just not a mindblowing one.

Does seem a little glaring for a technical error, maybe they're trying to say something? What's one more layer on the most metaphorical show since Twin Peaks? ;-P Oh I get it now, just rolled back to that scene.

While I really enjoy the slant the ending took, maybe it could have benefited from laying a little more groundwork for how their arrival would have shaped our history, but I think we can all draw our own conclusions.

As I said, the first half was a great throwback to the beginning of the series. I'm not sure what I was looking for. It just seems like they took the easy way out with the ending. Given how the entire show was about surviving in the face of adversity, it's a big of a cop-out to just tie everything up neatly like that. If somebody sat down before this episode and just wrote down the happiest Hollywood ending they could think of, they'd have written the second half of the episode. Although maybe that's a good thing. It is a show about optimism after all. Why not give them the happy ending? Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the episode. As I said, the first half was a great throwback to the beginning of the series.

I feel like I have to play Homer to your Itchy and Scratchy nerd. And wasn't that referring to the original Earth? Didn't the end of the show confirm an Earth that came before, that of the thirteenth colony, and our Earth? Isn’t that a little “Simpson’s Comic Book Guy”?

That turned out to be the nuked Earth, more than 150,000 years ago. The sky 150,000 years ago would not have looked like that! Thus ending the show in our real world is inconsistent.
