Wow! What can I say. I just started to watch this season and it left me without words. The actors, producers, and all the cast and crew did a very good job this last season.
That's the most amasing season of BSG, and I thank everyone involved on the production because you really gave us great emotions and goose bumps in every episode.
I love this season, and I am so sad it is the last one.

The series continues to surprise us. My wife's never been a sci-fi fan but she got thoroughly engrossed in this series. We look forward to more.

The conclusion of the Battlestar Galactica series provides answers to most, if not all, of the questions brought forth in the show. The price for the series was worth it, for me anyway.

After the greatest dissapointment of Season Three (in my humble opinion), I decided to not watch Season Four. But, heck, I could not resits the curiosity and bought both halves of the season.
First of all, I'd like to say that, no matter what TV show it is, it's simply not possible for the producers to release masterpiece after masterpiece episode. It just doesn't work that way. Time schedule is unbeliavable tight, the ratings pressure everybody all the time, there can be internal negotiations for cast and crew salaries, etc, etc, etc... So, the producers simply aim for the best. But there's no guaranteee that it will be the best. Otherwise, we coould not voice our opinions that "seasons 3 and 4 of that show are the best"
That said, even acknoledging that Ronald Mooore, Jane Espenson (from Buffy)and team tried their best, there are some plot decisions that make you think: "this is simple arrogance". Meaning: the producers start to think: "We can make any twists and write anything we want, because our show is brilliant and flawless. People will love it". Wrong.
This happened with Galactica. From a breathtaking sci-fi/drama TV show, packed with mind-numbing action and tension, without forgetting about character development, it turned into a unbashed space soap opera. Up until the middle of this season, things had potential. The mutiny episodes were nail-bitting, the demise of lovely Gaeta (although reasonably fair by military standards) was a shock, things were going well.
Then, suddenly, we enter into full soap opera mode. Yes, I agree, Ellen as the fifth cylon was lame, lame, lame, lame. If they did not have spent all the first half of the season saying "one is to be revealed", it was ok. But they build such a hype, that the disclosure, no matter how good it could have been, was a let down. Then we have the "Hera" situation, again an old plot used all around in sitcoms.
But the real, real sin was: by explaining everything (well, almost everything) due to sobrenatural reasons (God), the show made us feel like fools. A lot, (I mean, a LOT) of things that happened in apst episodes were rendered useless. It practically turned the last seasons impossible to watch again.
Anyway, I prefer to remember this show as a great one, where Edward James Olmos clearly had the role of his life and gave his best. Sure, Seasons 3 and 4 had a lot of bad moments, but a lto of great ones also and, in the long run, it was something very special.
