- Since a few folks are commenting on this point: to be clear, Battlestar 100% jumped the shark. The ending was terrible. But that doesn’t change the fact that the way it was made was incredibly influential.
- I was really anti BSG’s ending way back, but having rewatched recently and read up on the lore that’s a bit obfuscated (angels, Kobol, Earth, etc) the final episodes didn’t feel so terrible. Like, still boofed it, but boofed it ever so slightly less.
- That said, Galactica jumping into New Caprica’s atmosphere will always override any misgivings that remain about the ending for me because I just ride the high of that for two more seasons.
- That is legit one of the most breathtaking sequences ever on TV.
- Always gotta post the Adama Maneuver when mentioned! bsky.app/profile/thes...Feb 1, 2026 20:18
- It is hot to DEATH, that scene. Ugh, so good!
