Battlestar Galactica Review

I just finished watching the final season of current Battlestar Galactica and I have to say this entire series has been one of the best sci-fi shows I have ever seen.    The storyline was intriguing and the characters have an incredible chemistry together.    I couldn't wait to see the next episode even though I knew each one brought it all closer to the end of the series.    I was thrilled to see there will be some additional movies/episodes.   There was a promotional piece a special/movie that will show things from the cylons point of view.  I can't wait! :)

One of the things I've always loved about sci-fi shows (Twilight Zone, The Outter Limits, etc.) is their use of powerful political themes built into an amazing storyline.  The parallels to the war in Iraq, torture, religion, acceptance of those who are not like you, etc were absolutely stunning storytelling.   It seems fitting the show ended about the same time the Bush/Chaney years ended.  

I'm still confused by a few things - maybe we are suppose to be confused :)    Earlier in the series they showed earth/the united states all light up like modern time while they were playing the song that triggered four of the final five cylons to "activate"  -- then when they actually found earth the timing was quite different.    Don't get me wrong - I loved the ending.   I'm just not sure what the modern earth imagery earlier in the series had to do with the song and the activation of the cylons - maybe it didn't :)
