Ever since Cally was killed and the Chief never knew how it really happened and threw himself into his own personal hell, I was waiting for him to get some payback. Once you've really loved someone, no matter the good or bad, you still loved them and as for Tory, she got what she deserved in the end!!
As for the ending, Its not at all how I thought they would end it, but it was great. I mean if I had survived all those battles, The political BS, All 12 colonies destroyed, New Caprica and the real Earth were all duds, the Mutiny and you've lost more friends & loved ones combined. Give me a peaceful stretch of land, fresh air and a little stream near by & a small cabin to live out my days and I'd be as happy as could be. No more cities or War machines in my lifetime. ( I think that was Lee Adams thought).
And Since the beginning of the Series, its been quite obvious to me that the producers & writers have all seen the share of Anime over the years!!
As for Kara
