I keep meaning to do another watch through of this.

My general thoughts from when I first watched it, I will spoiler tag (but I'm not spoiling any actual content or plot, just EMOTIONS and about how the ending made me feel and stuff):

Almost everybody who watched all of BSG will talk about how much the ending sucked. They'll draw a comparison to Lost about how it was a constant hyped up show full of mystery leading to...what it led to. I didn't like the ending of the show one bit. But to me, this was not about the ending. It was very much about the journey. And the journey here was absolutely magnificent. It helped a lot that I watched this show during an incredible difficult period of my life. I was pretty much going through a mental breakdown at the time, and I'd basically shut off from society (was unemployed and barely got up to get out of bed most days). This show legitimately helped me. Watching each episode kept me going and I felt really intertwined with the journey of this group of people. And there was nothing like Adama's teachings to get me by. I felt like he was schooling ME sometimes (: The characters are fantastic and I still remember them all to this day. Bear McCreary's soundtrack is one of the best I've heard, and I still have Wander My Friends on regular rotation. I really felt a deep emotional connection to the crew and their plight. THe ending was largely an unsatisfying resolution for the most part. But endings rarely ever satisfy. I got to watch and grow along with these guys. And it's honestly one of the best character driven shows I think I've seen. So say we all!
