Battlestar Galactica
The ending of the rebooted Battlestar Galactica was… divisive, to say the least. After four seasons of searching for the mythical planet Earth, the final remnant of humanity lands on a barren, hostile, barely habitable planet destroyed by a nuclear war thousands of years ago. Suffice it to say, this bums everyone out. But when human-Cylon peace talks go awry, Kara “Starbuck” Thrace (Katee Sackhoff) uses Jimi Hendrix’s “All Along the Watchtower” lyric “There must be some way out of here” as last-ditch coordinates to escape, they arrive at a lush planet they decide to call “Earth” in honor of the “original” Earth. Except it turns out all of these sci-fi shenanigans happened in the distant past instead of the far future, and people on the Galactica landed on what we know as our Earth. Remember how weird this show became?
