The end of the Battlestar Galactica TV series just finished, and it is a satisfying end to the most impressive piece of film SciFi (distinct from syfy, you audience-alienating douchebags) in years. I put it on footing with Babylon 5 and Firefly, my other two favorite SciFi TV series. Not going to spoil here, I usually torrent and watch later myself, and respect those who chose to. The thing that puts it above the rest isn’t so much the premise or plot (although both are good), it’s that the acting and writing and scoring (especially the scoring) is spectacular.
It’s basically beyond ruin at this point, even if The Plan (movie, tells parts of the story from the cylon’s perspective) and Caprica (TV series, tells the story of the creation of the cylons), the remaining two planned bits of the franchise are crap, it will still have been a great run, making it one of those rare TV series that is good as (far) more than background noise.

Please, please, stop referring to yourselves as ‘consumers.’ OK? ‘Consumers’ are different than citizens. Consumers do not have obligations, responsibilities, and duties to their fellow human beings. And as long as you’re using that word ‘consumer’ in the public discussion, you will be degrading the quality of the discussion we’re having, and we’re gonna continue to be clueless going into this very difficult future that we face.
