I think that the writers deliberatly left some threads open to future exploration though they seem to have tried hard, in the alloted time, to wrap up the character arcs that were most central. I would not be the least bit surprised to see more then one spin off, or movies, or animated specials etc. Branding is key to a franchise and they want to keep making as much money as possible and, as Lucasarts knows, the best way to do that is to keep producing.
I almost cried at that almost final scene, or combonation of scenes, dealing with Bill Adama and Laura Roslyn... the death of the latter and the fade-to-black of the former. It was poinient I thought.
Also, the "angels" kick... that left me wondering...
We got cheated with Starbuck's character development! On the sci fi special that aired before the series finale, Katee Sackhoff mentioned she was frustrated with the lack of explanation for her character's actions especially through the 4th season. Though they did find a nice connection for why she spent an entire episode sitting at a piano with some random imaginary man, boo! I desire an explanation for the corpse and her return in a brand new viper as well.
Mininova has well seeded dvd rips of the early seasons, you aren't looking hard enough. :-P
We don't support genocide, racisim, bigotry, Park Kraken, theft, rape, murder etc etc etc... but they have still be subjects of discussion. So don't try and feed me my own words.
I was not, nor was anyone here, suggesting that anyone procure pirated material only mentioning that these materials do exist and can be located.
Also, did they mean that Hera died as a little girl? Ie, did not get to grow up and become a woman? Because they referenced her bones being found 150,000 years later.
