   Agreed. A lot of the same was true with "Lost" especially the quais   
   religious aspects and the mostly good Vs. mostly evil struggle   
   against each other.   
      
   Not that there were legit complaints, a lot of things did go   
   unanswered but the basic story about redemption and how the   
   characters will be redeemed while dealing with all the crap thrown   
   against them from the Others, MIB and Widmore along with Jacob's   
   desire for a replacement to keep MIB on the island was always there   
   even if they were introduced in later seasons. I think like with both   
   "Battlestar Galactica" and "Lost" it is best now to look at them   
   again from the beginning on DVD and you will notice some things you   
   didn't before on the first go round, like thing you thought wasn't   
   answered or addressed in the show probably were.

   It was rushed I agree. I think Galactica was "due" two more seasons   
   but they had to work with the episodes they got. And they did   
   relatively well, especially providing an explanation episode "No   
   Exit" that did tie up some loose ends and a lot of mysteries. "Lost   
   was the same way but they did have more episodes to work with when it   
   was given a definite end date. Some story lines got tossed, like Walt   
   is special thing. I am sure it was the same with BSG.
