Surprised Battlestar Galactica isn't on there.
I know I am in the minority, but I loved the last season and its ending.
I hated it when it aired, mostly because I saw one episode a week and was confused about everything going on in the last season.
Then I binge-rewatched the whole thing last year and it wasn’t confusing at all. It was beautiful and well-thought out. The ending was perfect and did the whole series justice, while leaving a tasteful few things open to interpretation. I loved it.
The biggest hard-to-swallow about the series was when they abandoned the whole cylon detector thing too easily just so it would fit the story progression.
As someone who completely missed out on it when it first aired, watching it for the first time last year I don’t think the last season was that bad either. Certainly not as good as the highs of the first two seasons, but still decent.
Didn't the huge group of humans that could never agree on anything all decide to go live without technology with cave men at the end? It's been a very long time since I watched it but I remember hating that. iirc there were some unresolved plot lines too, but I don't remember enough to list them. I was a huge fan of the early seasons.
You are a Cylon, you are a Cylon, and YOU are a Cylon!
While jarring and ad hoc, I didn't think BSG's finale was catastrophic. I honestly disliked the transition from S2 to S3 more than I disliked the ending.
