I think networks that make a lot of money should spend some of it to keep other shows. Why can't American Idol fund a Firefly series?

Last Episode of BSG

I was disappointed in the last episode and most of the season. I like character driven stories to a point, but I need better plot resolution. The spooky angel action was weak, and no ship of lights either! Matt, you have convinced me that the show was better off ending with the finding of radioactive Earth. The idea of the people giving up on technology was naive. The lawyer guy was the only one making sense at that moment. The dangers of technology are real, but going tribal is the quickest way to get a lot of people dead. You don't go from relying on advanced tech to nothing and expect good things to come about. These and the treatment of Anders are my main gripes.

Now that it is all over, I can state that I like the original series more. I expect to be in the minority here, but the old show had something the new show doesn't. Any ideas on what that might be, because I can't quite put my finger on it.
