I just finished watching it and I take back my earlier words a few months ago. This is the best show on TV in a long time, probably in the top 5 of all time. Easily top 10.
The ending was beautiful. It was art. Everything came together perfectly if you've been paying attention. It reflected life, our struggle to define it, our racism, our violence. It balanced the scientific viewpoint perfectly with faith. It leaves it as a question, just like life. You can view the whole thing literally, that they really were angels, or metaphorically, creative license to bring about the end of the show.
What was the name of the missing cylon model that the original 5 boxed because he was too emotional or something? Wasn't it Gabriel? They never remembered much from those times, makes me think Baltar was a cylon after all. Just the only remaining model of his line. Also fits the angel thing (with the name).
