I think the show has officially jumped the shark.

I have stayed away from spoilers, previews and this thread, so I had no idea Starbuck's death was coming. It seemed really casual and contrived. It was nice to see her get some screentime, but other than her actual death the rest of the show still felt like obscure filler. Although, I must say I was very impressed by Edward James Olmos' acting at the end.

There's been so many awful side stories (Starbuck and Apollo, Chief and Callie, even Baltar now) that BSG has really gotten away from the core of what I liked about it - the struggle of the human condition, not "Space 90210".

I think that I really might be done with the show.
