I think it should have ended after the first hour. It would have been in keeping with the series as a whole. Instead they spoon-fed us illogical happy endings (well, happy up to a point) and used deus ex machina to explain too much. It was trite and irritating and I felt manipulated. I disengaged around the time Baltar was in the CIC spouting off about breaking the cycle of violence and Cavel was going along with the treaty. If they had ended it right after Tryol killed Tori and all hell broke loose, I would have been happy with the show. But no, they had to jump to Earth and thus jumped the shark.

But the show looks fantastic and I'm sorry I missed it. Too many people look down on genre fiction. A good story is a story--I don't care if it is set in space, in gritty streets, or in a dragon's lair. Sure, there is plenty of bad sci-fi, but people will bring that up as if there isn't plenty of bad crap everywhere. Enjoy your show!
