Yeah, I think they did make some choices that could certainly irk some. But regardless, most of the problems I and some scattered others have aren't really related to the vagueness of the deity.
For all the talk of this show having a history of metaphysical explanations, they sure felt the need to explain just about everything else. They could have said the Final Five were just different, and left it at that. But they gave them a backstory, explained where they came from, explained why they could reproduce, why they were so old, etc. They felt the need to explain all sorts of things throughout the series. I don't think expecting this to continue is somehow at odds with what the series has been building towards. It's hadd metaphysical themes and influences from the beginning, but it also placed a lot of importance on our discovering (and the show explaining) the history of these beings. Only at the end did it decide to stop. I might bug me more than some others, but I honestly don't see the argument that says they've been doing it this way the whole time.
Anyway, the podcast mentioned earlier came out a few days ago. It's massive; 2 hours and 20 minutes, as it covers all three hours of Daybreak (sans commercials, naturally). I'm about halfway into it. Nothing terribly insightful so far; just a lot of talk about how important characters are, and a bunch of instances where RDM says a certain image just "came to him" and that it doesn't necessarily mean anything. Not terribly reassuring for anyone who didn't love the finale, to say the least.
But, there's another hour or so to go, so we'll see if any insights or explanations crop up. Not holding my breath, though.
All that said, he did discuss some alternate (but ultimately scrapped) plotlines, which are always fun to hear. They were considering having the Final Five split ideologically, with Tigh on the "good" side and Ellen on the "bad," setting up a confrontation between the two. Interesting, no?
