We liked the idea that Adama would do something similar here, putting the Colonists in a position that they had to go forward, not back and that they would have to embrace their new world without having other options at hand.

I watched the final episode with my gf, and when I saw the ships heading towards the sun I mentioned to her that it was like Cortez burning his ships when he reached the new world to motivate his men, and she looked at me like I farted in a church.
