So Say We All

Alan Sepinwall posts a wonderful recap/musing on the ‘Battlestar Galactica’ finale.

Here at the end of a very long series and a very long post, you don’t need me to again repeat all the reasons “Battlestar Galactica” was such a landmark television achievement. You don’t need me to tell you how it returned to the hallmarks of traditional science fiction by using the futuristic trappings to tell compelling stories about the way we live now. You don’t need me to tell you about this rich cast of characters, played by a cast of actors who will criminally never get their proper due from the rest of the showbiz community because their peers are too snobbish to realize that an Edward James Olmos or a Mary McDonnell or a Michael Hogan might be capable of giving devastating performances in the middle of a show with this title. You don’t need me to tell you about the epic action, the tear-jerking moments, the occasional snippets of comedy or all things that made this show so special. But I wanted to at least mention them before the end, before I cede the floor to you and ask…

So say we all?
