When Ronald D. Moore’s Battlestar Galactica Reboot presented his finale episode in 2009, was lightly disappointed. Fans walked away feeling as if they needed something more, wrapping happier or sad with more questions answered. Instead, they ended up where the characters of the survivor showed their shoulders and walked away to the desert.
What those who watched them did not realize back at that time is that the problem was not the problem. This is the way they were forced to watch the show. Watched now, in one continuous binge drinking, the way it is supposed to be seen, Battlestar Galactica’s Ending is perfect. This is the only finale the show could have had.
Battlestar Galactica was the first show made for streaming, although streaming did not exist
Battlestar Galactica He started and finished his run before the lifetime of streaming. People’s responses to him were such a product of how they were forced to arrange to watch them as they were a reflection of the show itself.
Battlestar Galactica Great on many things, but one of the things he is better off is to let the audience feel the fatigue of her characters. That is most prominently incorporated by a chapter “33,” where the colonies are forced to act for days without sleep as they fight against endless Cilon attacks.
It’s also a long -term strength in the show. The journey that our characters are on is difficult. It takes a doll, and a chapter according to The Colonials episode starts to wear down, fall apart, quit. Battlestar It doesn’t just show us that, it lets us test it.
Binged now on streamYou are struck with the full weight of that expense. On an old school cable television, though, with viewers limited to watching one episode a week, one term a year, it was easier to forget how much your favorite characters suffered in previous chapters and how much that suffering must be weighing on.
Without sharing those feelings with the characters on the show, it’s easy to get shady when you want something else for them. We want them to land and build a great civilization or defeat the colons or somehow take Caprica back, or something just as prestigious. But that’s not what these people would want, in this place. And it’s something that the audience can fully experience when they watch backup chapters.
Unless you bought the Battlestar Galactica DVD box sets (and many people did), it’s not something you could have understood, when looking at the show in its carefully scheduled broadcast TV format.
Galactica’s Battlestar Finishing is all about the need to forget
By the end of Battlestar GalacticaEvery character, whether a hero or a villain, has suffered years of continuous hell. The show started with every person in the colonial fleet getting everyone and everything they know and love. And then things get worse from there. Never gets better.
There are occasional bright spots in the series, enough to keep the light of life alive, but by the time the Galactican Arriving at its final episode, the ship and everyone on it is made. The back of the Galactica is literally broken. Many of her characters are about to death. Those who do not die are made with it all. Made with fighting, made with running, made with fancy flights of hope.
So they find a place they decide is earth. They decide she is ground because she is universal, she is there, and they are tired.
The earth is empty. It seems nice, but it doesn’t matter. Because they’ve done, they’ve all done. With everything. Together. Too much has happened, too much has been lost. There is no way to recover.
So the colonies and colons land and wander into the wilderness, some to die, others to try to live life. Humans and beings together, to live and breed and die and forget. Whatever happens, hope, ambition, it has all been traumatized out of them. Forgetting is what our characters need above all else.
When watching it now on streaming, where the time between chapters is compressed, that ending makes sense because you also feel their fatigue, trauma, and reception.
After all their struggle and suffering, the people of the colonial fleet have nothing left to give. There are questions that have not been answered, but those questions no longer feel like they are important to them. They reach the ground in one final, exhausted, then lie to rest.
We are all part of the Battlestar Battle of Galactica
It’s time for the audience to rest too, because of the show’s most satisfactory final reveal is that we are these people. All those endless questions about who or what are the simple answering colons: us.
Us, the viewers. We are all silons, and we are all human beings too. We have been all over.
The final scene of the show is one of warning and hope, one that now appears to be conscientious in the light of recent developments in artificial intelligence. Battlestar Galactica Flashes on to a modern earth and asks if things will be different this time. Shall we repeat mistakes whether our colonial/colonial ancestors, or will we do something different this time?
All of this has happened before, and it will all happen again. But he doesn’t have to. Not just the correct ending, it is the only ending Battlestar Galactica He could have ever had. So tell us all.
