Exactly. I'm a huge SciFi fan too, but BSG really isn't a SciFi show. It's really more of a military drama with added fantasy elements.

I was really, really worried that I would hate the finale, but I actually really, really enjoyed it. It kind of reminded me of DS9's finale in a way - tons of action in the first hour, and then a more touching - goodbye to the characters - in the second hour... except the DS9 finale was a piece of crap, and this wasn't. I felt like the final hour was a really satisfying way to say goodbye to the characters we've followed over the last 4 years, and not the big pile of cheese that I was afraid they'd end up doing.

Great show...
