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.

What's the core of the show you like? Cylons fighting humans in space? That wouldn't take long to jump the shark if they didn't do anything else.
Gotta say I disagree it's jumped the shark. Which is an overused expression nowadays anyway.
