MY BSG FINALE TAKEAWAY
Mar. 21st, 2009 01:37 amWhile I totally cop to the fact that Moore & Co. didn't have it all planned out and sort of made it up as they went along -- with huge macguffins and leaps of plot and logic along the way -- I give huge props for the finale being absolutely true to the emotion and philosophy of the show, and especially true to the individual characters.
Sometimes plot is just a device to get you to an emotional end -- and BSG's writers and actors brought that to life with spectacular and poetic (if sometimes frustrating) effect, every episode, until the very end. It's flawed, inconsistent, and insufferably lacking in logic. But it made me feel, and made me think. Wow, just like life!
Faith doesn't always make sense.
Immortality isn't the road to wisdom.
Fate and choice are intertwined.
Now is all we have.
