| | Kurt I actually had the same feeling. I sat down with bunch of Deep Space Nine DVDs from netflix and watched the entire series (yes, it sounds like torture, and it ended up being that, much to my dismay) and Ron Moore worked on that series. There were some interesting mysteries that were just not resolved in any satisfactory way at the end of the DS9 finale, so I was aware of Ron Moore's "make it up as I go along" style of writing without any regard for how these plot threads can reasonably resolve themselves, but thought maybe he had learned his lesson when he began BSG. Wow was I mistaken!
To me the "jump the shark" moment for BSG, and the exact moment I became suspicious the show would suffer the same fate, was when Kara flew into the gas giant because she was "fulfilling a destiny". I kept watching the show, because I thought what were seemingly bizarre events had some kind of rational explanation to them. Much to my dismay, they were just bizarre, inexplicable events. And that's just one aspect of the ending. From the horrible science (How could the Tomb of Athena depict Cylon-Earth [Earth 1] perspective constellations when that planet is a different one than Earth 2 [the real Earth, our Earth]) to the horrific green, Luddite message at the end.
Just completely awful. I have now been burned twice from Ron Moore. Any future project for a show that he has any remote association with I vow to completely avoid.
