This? Is why I think that it was actually a really depressing ending, not the hopeful note they may have intended. I dislike the notion of civilizing the noble savage, but having them disappear so completely just makes me sad.
See, apparently the intention (ie I read an interview) was that all of the similarities between our civilization and colonial civilization are due to the fact that we learned it from them, so they didn't disappear. Which might not make sense in terms of how we know it actually happened, but I'm happy to just look at BSG as an 'AU' version of Our History and run with that. Because the alternative is WAY more depression than what was intended.
