How would you have ended Battlestar Galactica?
A bunch of science fiction authors and one Medieval historian give their take
on the ending of BSG and what they would have done differently here:

I think it is fair to say at least that the reimaged BSG was a great idea that
started out well and then got too wrapped up in its own mythos, leading to an
unsatisfying mess when the writers and producers could no longer properly
handle it and they revealed that they didn't know where things were going or
what to do with several major plot threads.
Next time let's see if Hollywood or somebody can make a series that involves
REAL science, real characters, and no mysticism.
