What a total loss, not sure what happened mid-season, and now wouldn't waste my time to find out. Suffice to say, I liked it and then it became what it ended with. I kept watching one point five so I could at least have the satisfaction of seeing all the 'stars' killed off... BRRRT, no such luck. It was the only reason I could think of for the writers to have gone so very far to make them all irredeemable. That is the only thing that might have blunted my instinctual demand that -cliche- I really wanted those hours back.
FWIW, I waited for the DVDs, so I could watch it in two episode groups, complete with (endless) deleted scenes. I purposely avoided the background and commentary as Moore and Eick have such a knack for dumping spoilers into that content - near ruined a couple episodes of Gallactica in assuming that their audience was willing to watch the cable commercial version and had already seen it. I avoided all references to Capricuhh on the web, due to morons that live to dump spoilers, so I missed all the very good recommendations saying 'avoid'.
Pardon the personal and emotional as I know this is hard to read, English is my fourth language - but I will never submit to the real possibility of disappointment of this level again. I cannot think of a single nice thing to say about the writing or the actors.
Mr. Moore and Mr. Eick, please stop listening to whoever convinced you to make characters completely unlikeable. Gallactica was near perfection (no, I didn't like season four point five either, but it did complete without turning into a bad Bronson movie).
Gallactica Wish III, more bare upper-body men, completely PO'd women, and mind-numbing brutality than you can imagine imagining-
