First off, as agrumer said, casting would need to have been more diverse. Edward James Olmos would not be passing for white (although to be fair, perhaps the actor never was. He's just light-skinned.) The show needed more re-occurring, racially diverse characters who were NOT Cylons. The cannon fodder Viper pilots from Season 1 were very diverse, but they all died within three episodes.
The body count at the end was actually TOO LOW. Roslin and Kara were already walking dead. Anders was in-a-tub-babbling dead. They don't count. Tory and Boomer were obvious kill-offs Who Had It Coming.
I would have been fine if Boomer somehow managed to survive. If CAPRICA SIX can find forgiveness and happiness, even though she caused more damage than Boomer ever did, then that option should be available to Boomer as well. However I do concede that Caprica made choices that made it easier for her to do so. Boomer kept fucking up.
Helo really should have died. I see no way he could have survived his injuries. It may have worked better if he died during the mutiny.
Honestly, I was certain Bill Adama would fly off into the sun with Roslin after he said farewell to the Icky Twins.
Perhaps the Simons could have defected. Doctors are in high demand!
Dee should not have offed herself. That fate could easily have been transferred to another supporting named character.
