I didn't want Kara to have been brought back to life in a mystical way by a divine power, but that's what happened, so what would have been an improvement on her disappearing the way she did? I can't think of a different way that would have been better within those parameters.
When Ellen came back they had that discussion of resurrection and said the humans used to have the technology, but forgot once they didn't need it anymore, or something to that effect. At that point I really thought that was a clue about Kara and that someone had downloaded her consciousness into a new body. (The ship and tags were a wrinkle that might still have required some divine intervention... I don't know.) Umm... I don't think I'm really going anywhere with this except to says things would have been really different if, like Ellen, Kara was version 2.0 instead of... an angel?
He will wrestle mountain lions with his bare hands. Obviously. I think the idea was that most of the survivors would be in small communities, just spread out across the globe, but seeing Bill, Lee, Chief, Baltar & Six, etc. going off alone gives a different impression.
Boomer's a hard nut to crack. Most of the time when it looks like she's headed toward redemption, it's part of some double cross. In the end she takes Hera back, but that's not good enough for redemption either (whereas Baltar definitely has a redemptive story at the end when he stays to fight... and saves Here). Maybe because even when she's doing something good, it's a payback to Adama? Maybe it's supposed to be a weakness in Athena?
Or maybe she just didn't deserve to die. That'd hardly be a new thing for BSG. I don't think Gaeta really deserved to die. I understand he did under military code and all, but I can see why he did what he did, and definitely wouldn't judge him to be a bad person overall.
