OK, I can't contain my irritation at the BSG writers any longer. This could be because I am SO hungry...
I think they could have easily come up with a satisfying explanation of what Starbuck was. Even the one they did use (that she was connected to the divine) could have been more satisfying than it was, if it had been done a whole lot better. Because of the lame way they ended the remaining characters' stories in the finale, I now look back on the whole of the last season with disappointment because it seems now there was no grand writing plan whatsoever and all I can see are holes and lazy storytelling. It's as though they got bored and decided to just ditch all the characters and plotlines they can't be bothered to write a decent ending for. First Dee, then Gaeta, now Starbuck, Lee ... etc.
What about Leoben? One two-second glimpse of him nodding his agreement to Lee's ridiculousy unbelievable plan is not satisfying. Where was D'Anna? Did I miss something? I could have sworn she was alive the last time I looked.
The only ending I liked for any of the characters was Baltar and Six. Helo, Athena and Hera was OK but kind of meh. Same for Bill and Laura, Saul and Ellen. The rest of them - no feeling of closure whatsoever.
I hope you don't mind me wailing my disappointment all over your journal. It's just I loved that show and those characters so much!
