Battlestar Marmite

Finally managed to catch up with the BSG finale last night (aka the UK transmission). I can certainly see why some people loved it, some people hated it and some people are still confused. As a friend of mine remarked "Once you bring religion in, you lower my sense of belief." He then proceeded to explain that yes, he did know it was a sci-fi show, but I digress.
Overall, for a show that was always more about the characters than the plot, it got the finale it deserved.
Two final notes: what the f--- was all that stuff about a thirteenth cylon named Daniel all about then if it didn't pay off? And let's face it - there really wasn't a plan. Cylon or otherwise.
No idea what the Daniel thing is about - to repeat my post of a few days ago, my guess is that Baltar and Six (the hallucinatory versions) are Crowley and Aziraphale, and Kara is the Holy Ghost, everyone else is more or less irrelevant.
I'm VERY annoyed about the whole "let's wipe out all of the pain and suffering by subjecting our descendants to thousands of years of pain, suffering, plague, starvation and backbreaking labour" Luddite nonsense. God (assuming that hallucinatory Baltar and Six are right when they say that God exists) ought to know better.
