Processing the Battlestar Galactica Finale

The finale of the finest sci-fi (and even one of the finest dramas) that TV has ever seen has finally come and gone. It’s a bitter sweet experience that I’m still processing, but the show gives us a lot to think about. I feel compelled to gather my thoughts on the finale here (which is probably a good thing in of itself that a TV show would get me to write a post like this).
(Warning: there are spoilers in this post, obviously, so stop reading if you don’t want to see them.)
