If you are a hard SF fan you'll probably be disappointed by the ending. But, by now, you'll have realized how the show has been heavily devoured by mystical elements. Although it does add extra meaning to the term "deus ex machina." I quite liked the ending, especially the epilogue, but then, I've always enjoyed such things. Considering the original inspiration for the show, it's an entirely appropriate trend (albeit less of an analogy than with the original series*). It's going to be interesting to see how Caprica develops, especially since I get the sense that the writers want it to continue to reflect BSG's provocative "discussion" of current American values, rather than actually have an overarcing plot.

And, in complete serendipity, I've been enjoying my Babylon 5 once again too. Although, in the spirit of BSG, I cannot help but substitute "Bush" for "Clarke," "Fox" for "ISN," "Homeland Security" for "Nightwatch," "Al Quaeda" for "Conspiracy of Aliens," and "Iraq" for "Mars." The price of freedom is, indeed, eternal vigilance, and history (even history that hasn't happened yet), is doomed to repeat itself.

* Much of what I learned about the Mormon mythological structure came from watching the original series of Battlestar Galactica. Although I didn't realise it at the time.
