Goodbye, you had immense potential but a disjointed programming schedule prevented you from building up a sufficient head of steam. Still, at least you were allowed to end your run appropriately.

I should watch this, but I didn't like the ending of BSG enough to make me even check it out.

Yeah, but it was multiple seasons of awesome, I wasn't willing to let it be destroyed by 20 minutes of bash you over the head stupidity.

I guess I feel the same about it as Lost.

Still, Caprica was a hard sell period. It took an entire season, and still had barely built up any steam. I feel like it could have done great things, but they were taking entirely too long to get there.

I really loved this show. The second season started off slowly, but it really picked up by the end.

BSG suffered from the fact that they apparently didn't think out their end-plot. They didn't bother to find out who the 'final five' were and what they meant until they were writing the actual episodes. It was a truely disgusting example of sloppy writing. I get the sense the show bible existed soley on napkins the writers scribbled together in one tequila fueled binge at 4 am.

Yes, they made it all up as they went along.

I believe he should call himself O(+>, or The Poster Formerly Known As Lex.
