I thought the same thing, "Africa" looked a lot like Southern Alberta. Not sure where in BC they could get that kind of rolling landscape, but then alot of it could be CGI.
"The Plan", as far as I can determine was to blindly destroy all humanity because it disgusts Cavil. This final season destroyed any and all mythos surrounding the Cylons, revealing them to be led largely by a vengeful, petty leader hell bent on overcoming his biological limitations and becomming more machine like. They never explain how badgering the Humans for 4 years fits in with this beyond being a silly plot device.
The only "Plan" that emerges seems to hinge on these so called "Angels". The Cylons are just as lost and confused as the Humans.
The show had a great premise and a stellar crew/cast, but as each season played out, it became apparent the writers had no frigging clue what they should do. The finale drove the nail in the coffin when it didn't end with Adama on the bluff overlooking the plains. Everything after that moment was pure and utter confusion.
Moore said it best in the special before the show: "It's the characters!". That was the mistake he and the other writers made. BSG was not about the characters, it was about the plot and about the premise. Soon as they got away from progressing the plot, the show got hard to watch.
Third season is the perfect example of what I'm irritated about.
