So Say We All

After 4 seasons and as many years, Battlestar Galactica comes to an end tonight with a two hour series finale. I don't usually contemplate the end of a television show that much, but there's something about BSG that makes it unique. I mean, I loved my Stargate, but when SG1 and Atlantis ended it seemed like just another day.

Battlestar is different, more real. The characters are human, flawed and frakked up just like the rest of us. They're heros, but they're real. And the show has always focused more on their flaws than their heroism. BSG threw people into the worst situation and showed us what could happen. Sure, there's space ships and cylons, but none of that makes BSG what it is. From day one, it has always been the people, the drama of their struggle, the pain of their situation, and the hope for their survival, that made this show something special.

So tonight we big farewell to the people and the ship that we've loved for the last 4 years. It's truly been a pleasure watching.

So say we all.
