I finally made the connection that the hot blonde sheriff’s deputy in Longmire is Starbuck. She certainly ping worthy...

It would have been a better ending if Beverly’s Consortium bought GD...
I liked her in BSG.
The Eureka Finale was obviously rushed.
SyFy gave them one week to do it.
The Final scene was obviously in the showrunners head before the first episode was made.
It came around and tied into the first episode even though the show went off on another tangent.
But it was still a good Finale IMO.
B- or C+
It hit all the right notes and gave a satisfactory ending.
Not a hipster,pseudo-artist,anti-hero nihilist ending.
The whole final season kind of sucked.
Why change for the finale?
The whole Senator Wen storyline was poorly conceived, and Ming-Na was the wrong person for it. And I still have problems with the fact that Beverly conveniently woke up first (that in itself, not too, too bad) but had time to drag Wen out of there (somewhat iffy) and then when everyone else comes to, they note Beverly's absence, but no mention is made that Wen isn't present. You would think that that would've bothered somewhere at that time, instead of a mention a scene or two later.
I liked the final scene and had hoped that they'd remember to put that in. As far as most of the characters go, I would've preferred to see more Zoe and less Kevin over the past two years, and (I'll say it again) "normal" Kevin was a much less interesting character and I don't see how he could've saved the world earlier if he was in his present state.
Overall, the reboot didn't pay off. Those first six episodes of the reboot were good, but there needed to be some kind of reset button, instead of wondering what, if anything, in the first four seasons actually happened and what didn't. A show with as few episodes as Eureka has should not have needed a reboot to keep things fresh.
But, in the end, that would've been the same as if the NID finally "rescues" the Stargate program after the government defunds it. Hey, the villain isn't really a villain after all; they just want to make the world a better place; can't we all just get along?
