Battlestar Galactica: Daybreak: Part 2 (2009)
A wonderful end to the series
Daybreak: Part 3 is sort of like the last episode of MASH; there's little action except at the very beginning, the rest is a long denouement of the characters and the story, which if you watched the preceding four seasons is well deserved.
Without giving away spoilers you finally find out what the mysterious song means, and seeing each character more or less live with the person they were meant to or become themselves was satisfying.
"Battlestar Galactica" has gotten a fair amount of controversy about how good it is; I know I watched the original mini-series, wasn't impressed, and didn't watch it during the original run. Having just watched the entire run basically the first season does a steady build up of the story; the second begins to falter and sway a bit. The third starts off well but the series hit it's low point in the latter half with episodes that were mainly filler, and finally the fourth season had many twists and turns but ultimately resolves and settles the story.
If you haven't watched the show at all it's best to skip the last three episodes until you've seen the rest as there's a final profound "Uh-Huh" that isn't really appreciated until you see it in context of the entire show.
