Well, my second favorite show on TV came to an end Friday night. Of course, I'm talking about "Battlestar Gallactica" on the SciFi Channel. I had mixed feelings about this final season, generally, and I'm not surprised that I also had mixed feelings about the series finale. I believe the show got tangled up in its own plot lines in season four and got bogged down in excessive exposition, parallel story arcs that collided and conflated, and characters whose emotional rollercoastering grew tiresome. Yet, for all that the show was still a breath of air, often incredibly innovative, thought provoking, and (best of all) genre-busting. I can't say it any better than Laura Miller at Salon.com, so here, read her and enjoy:

Farewell, BSG. It's been a whole lotta frakkin' fun.
