Agreed I would have been content w/o the last vignette.
The final vignette itself isn't necessarily the issue. I'm fine with a coda. I just want to create some sort of "DaveNJ's Cut" where they keep the Baltar/Six conversation without cutting to silly fucking robots. I don't need to see those in the middle of a serious discussion about the nature of life and humanity's purpose. I can infer already that we have robots. Maybe it'll be relevant 50 years from now depending on advances in robotics, but at present it's just out of place.

As for complaints about deus ex machina, this show has been about humans and machines who can see angels and visions. How was there ever not going to be a deus ex machina? This has been in the works for years.
