Just rewatched the series finale. What a great frakking show this was. Definitely some rough patches throughout the series but it had some of the highest highs of any drama series ever.

Mary McDonnell is a Rockstar.

Yes, they should've cut that coda but it doesn't ruin it for me.

What do you mean? You didn't want them to find Earth?

Correct. The stuff on Earth after they land is tremendous.

I've been thinking about that coda all day. I changed my mind; leave it in. It's on the nose but it's a decent way to close the loop on the god/head-Six/head-Baltar elements.

Two required modifications:
1. Remove Ron Moore's distracting cameo.
2. Let the robot montage run the entire duration of Jimi's Watchtower. It should serve as the end credits for the entire series and allow the audience time to reflect.
