I think that the reason I don't miss the Space Family is just tied to my dislike of Adama, honestly. So like, when they give us good and interesting ones then that's great and I realise I like that part of the show, but it's a fifty-fifty chance these days that I'll dislike the entire set up so I'm just...cool with the Space Family interacting with their various second-cousins instead?
I would LOVE to see more of Kara and Laura because they need to talk about RELIGION and stuff and it might signify Laura actually getting a mythological storyline again. But those two have never really had much in the way of Space Family interactions anyway. As to the rest, I'm sad to say it's kind of gone the way of "if there's not much of it, they can't screw it up..." :/
I also worry that they can't possibly make it up to me. I guess that for me, it's not so much that they can make up for the mess, but by giving me an amazing ending, they can give me a tool, that when thinking about the entire show, will give me something to hang on to while thinking about the crappier parts. Like, I'll handle the fact Laura went "funny" for five episodes in S4 a lot better if she's beautiful and redeemed in the finale. I'll handle Liam's death a lot better if Caprica gets an ending that validates her as significant and worthy of love on her own terms and either gives her a replacement goldfish kid or shows her feeling in control of that aspect of her life and decisions regarding that part of her life.
I mean, a dream scenario would be Laura actually realising she's been doing the wrong thing and stepping up. A dream scenario would be Caprica going nuts and taking names and declaring vengeance through the fourth wall and pwning all over the finale, ditching Baltar, decrying everyone who failed to love her and getting made president of the galaxy.
But failing that, I really do think they can at least write a finale good enough that the uncomfortable feelings I have right now are nowhere near as prominent on rewatching. The worst part is...I actually kind of trust them to do it. Which is dangerous.
