Goodbye, BSG!

I don't watch much on TV, and now I'll be watching even less now that Battlestar Galactica has ended its long run on SciFi (don't get me started on Bonnie Hammer's "SyFy" rebranding). Anyhow, for those of you who know nothing of BSG, or just think of the late 70s goofy series, this was actually far darker but the writing was much better. It definitely hit doldrums in the middle of its run (what series doesn't?) but the past two seasons really upped the ante and came ot a final conclusion last night. Few other shows spawned in the shadow of 9/11 dared to invoke the spectres of terrorism and denial of the freedom of speech, and just the whole concept of not every really knowing who the real enemy was most of the time. I'm not going to spoil it for those who haven't yet seen it, or aren't familiar with it. If you've never seen it, you might want to give it a try--you might be surprised, even if you're not much into science fiction. Guess I'll go back to just watching hockey and big bang theory. :)
