“If a story begins by showing us a wizard, we understand immediately that we will see wizards and magic. If a story with no magic introduces a wizard with no hint that magic was coming, the audience rightly feels cheated.”
I literally could not have said this better myself. It’s a long article, but if the ending to BSG made you as angry as it made me, it’s worth reading.
Uhhh…”no hint”? Reeeeeeally.
GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOU, GAIUS.
No seriously, while I respect people who dislike Daybreak, I personally love it, I find the argument that there was “no hint” of the religious aspect previous to it to be… silly.
Yeah while this article is very much tl;dr, I skimmed it and the only point I really agree on is that it was unrealistic that absolutely everyone was okay with just ditching all the technology to live a ~simple life~
Other than that I loved the ending.
