HA! You managed to add to my list of complaints about the finale. Always good! I hadn't even thought through that Helo/Sharon thing but yeah...
Ron totally wussed out of giving ANY answer, the only answer being that BSG was a TRUE polytheist SciFi verse Yeah, and that's a wank. If it really was then fine, signal that from the beginning, instead of emphasising the realism, don't just use it to write yourself out of plotholes!
At least Lucas wasn't afraid to make rules for a made up religion.. And you NEED rules, damn it! All writers need to set themselves rules in their universe creation. Rules that can't be broken. Because otherwise you will lose your readers' trust. That's Writing 101, but I fear Mr Moore skipped that class...
while the "living" Humans scrounge around in the grass and get eaten by Giant Sloths...lol This is true. I kind of want to see them get eaten. Is that wrong? ;)
I too achieved some zen through having seen much of this coming, but the finale still managed to be worse than I had anticipated which believe me was QUITE A FEAT. Actually it was about on par with what I thought would be the final overall resolution, but just worse when it came to Lee... I did expect him to end up alone but I didn't think they'd do it so meanly or heavy-handedly. (That pigeon! YE GODS.)
