I don't care HOW many times I have to read the same cookie-cutter BSG internet opinions, but it just bugs me how much shit Season 3 gets when it really wasn't even half as bad as everyone says it is. The finale was incredible, JERKS
And the whole [SPOLERS]cylons coming to terms with the fact that they're cylons[/SOPIELRS] angle of Season 4's first half was interesting as hell.
I loved the third season finale. I did not love the fourth season finale.
Spoilers!
Besides the president dying, which was sad, I thought it sucked. Starbuck turning out to have been a ghost the whole time was fucking stupid. I thought the religious elements in the series were created to make characters seem more real but I guess the writers where just covering their asses for later when they would literally pull a deus ex machina out of there.
