I guess I'm in the minority because I have no interest in ever seeing them beat the dead horse that is BSG again after the last season of BSG, Caprica, The Plan, and even Razor was really lovely to me. Seasons 1 and 2 were really good, three it started to meander and season 4 was terrible overall (there were some really good episodes).

Did something big happen between seasons 2 and 3, or 2 and 4, like a major head writer leaving the show or something? I watched from the middle of season 1 to the end of the show weekly and remember a lot of people complaining during season 3 and 4 but I don't remember if we ever knew what exactly happened? Did Moore ever admit he was making poo poo up as he went and he never mapped out 'the plan'?

There are always going to be people who don't like a finale for a specific reason but BSG really went out of its way to give each and every person 3-4 reasons not to like it.

The entire premise of the show made no sense after it was obvious there wasn't a plan, then they moved on to "who are the final five?" when in reality it ultimately had nothing to do with the overall story, everything to do with Starbuck was stupid and pointless and unanswered, every remaining person giving up everything was stupid, how fast did those ships even travel that would cover 94 million miles to the sun before being detected when they lasted all of a year in a shrouded planet of New Caprica before being detected (nuke or not) ships apparently have enough fuel to go 94 million miles unattended, sending off all the ships for some vague reason but Adama keeping a raptor to joyride in, having characters be angels, etc.

Nobody's finale is perfect, there's always going to be things you preferred more like who ended up with who, I can handle that. I can't handle you throwing a dozen idiotic things in my face at one time though.
