If you’re talking about the more recent, serious show, I understand where you’re coming from, but I binged through the series a few years ago during the lockdowns and I feel like they were signposting the weird religious sort of ending the whole way.
Gaius and blondie being angels was weird as fuck, but the whole show had a pretty heavy religious undercurrent. Maybe I’m too used to time travel shenanigan stories, but the whole “it’s all kind of a loop” concept didn’t feel like an out of nowhere ass pull to me like it seemed to for a lot of people.
The only thing I hated about the new one was that the whole “they have a plan” thing was bullshit. Really stupid of them to write that into the series without even having a vague idea about that plan.
I found that show really interesting to watch. I think a lot of the series holds up, in terms of acting and storytelling, to the point where I’ll rewatch the series despite knowing the awful ending—but the ending was fucking awful.
the reigiminaged series was all wierd from start to finish, apparently it was because of the showrunners christian views, that he wanted a bsg, to have christian like ending.
Battlestar Galactica.

“…and they have a plan”
No they fucking don’t.
I don’t think the problem with the ending was that it wasn’t signposted, more that it was an almost literal deus ex machina.
Original or the new one? I actually loved the new one. Haven’t watched all of the original yet.
The new one. As for the old one, if you count Galactica '80 as its “finale”, most people would agree it’s terrible.
