    Ending seemed rather anticlimactic to me.

    I dropped it after episode 4 I think. Just got bored.

    It might work better as a binge watch.

    It definitely fizzled at the end. I must say I was disappointed.

    Most piss-poor ending since the finale of the Battlestar Galactica reboot.

    What a waste of seven-plus hours of viewing time.

    I’m hopeful to make it through the last episode. The series has gotten entirely too much involved in intrigue and is annoying.

    Can't necessarily agree. That ending was a bit cerebral, and I don't understand the angst.
    .but mom in law worked for the guy that found Lucy_

    Maybe I am too biased...

    I thought it was the perfect ending....Especially when combined with the TOS voice over intro.."there are those that believe that life down here began out there..."

    <commenting on the BSG reboot, with the delicious Tricna Heif..whatever...>

    Started awesome, then it progressed into a suck fest. Like I'm watching 3rd rock from the sun. [emoji38]

    I thought it was ridiculous. Divine intervention (bumping a dead Raptor to fire a nuke into the Cylon colony ship), Kara, Balthar and Six as angels, divine inspiration to put in the jump code for Earth and 30,000_ people giving up all technology to end up dying of starvation in a few months? Meh.

    The show explored a lot of hard topics: Medical experimentation, hard-edged survival, occupation, resistance, cuthhroat politics, rigged elections, torture, the morality of suicide bombing. The last episode just felt so far off, it was like a different team of writers were flown in from Camp Roddenberry.
