The only main female characters to live were Athena, Caprica, and Ellen.
....all of whom had been killed off at least once each before then (and resurrected). So no female characters whatsoever made it through the show without dying. Also no characters of color. Also no gays (the only two openly gay characters not only died but were shown to have betrayed the cause in some crucial way first. 'Cause, you know, teh gayz are bad for morale and don't belong in the military because they subvert everything....).
Curiously, nearly every straight white male on the show made it through TOTALLY UNSCATHED (and I think we are meant to read Adama as white, given that his sons both were). Even Cottle, who smoked like an effin' chimney throughout.
And yeah, the colonial overtones of the ending were overwhelming.
