I appreciate the Farscape comparison, but only to an extent. Crichton was always looking for Earth, but he knew what to expect when he got there and his choice to leave, while hard, was because he also knew what he had here. For him, finding his way back was the dream he followed.
For the colonials, Earth itself was the dream and obviously, the reality proved to be not what they expected.
Furthermore, considering the eagerness to land and colonize (as in: stop wandering the galaxy) New Caprica, I'm not going to offer the colonials too much pity. Ultimately, they have to analyze what it was they wanted to find: earth (or rather, their kindred), or a terra firma.
While I don't want to see it end like this, I am all for the inconclusive endings and could appreciate this one. Well, I have to. Frakking 2009.
