Well...again, the choices for Final Five Cylons were contradiction-filled retcons, and "Starbuck is an Angel" was just a publicity stunt they didn't think out.
But if you want a "thematic" example....well, what about the Cylon religion?
In Season 1, Ron Moore said that the Cylons developed their own religion through…

President of what?
WE WILL WIN THIS FOR MOTHER RUSSIA!
In America, you use a computer,
I will be succinct because you are trying my patience. How many ways can I say this?
No, you are wrong to brush aside and trivialize complaints about late BSG as "fans upset about the production process", or how "who cares if he had a bizarre personal life, the artwork is brilliant?".
No. The series became severely…
Ron Moore's triumphant return to television?
"Extermination" is so impersonal, "Genocide" too stark; I prefer that "hands on" feel that one can only achieve through use of the term, "Population Reduction".
Actually that was reply-bait I guess: what I meant was that they weren't "gay"....in the sense that while men may have had sex with other men, they didn't have our contemporary concepts of sexual identity.
In America, you give space to a woman.
In Soviet Russia, you give a woman to Space!
No....the majority of critics, and myself, felt that the show got *better* as Season 1 went along. Caprica got better when it had a mid-season break to pause, appoint a new head writer, and try to retool itself - it was too late at that point.
They didn't "rush to wrap up, resulting in a few sloppy loose ends" —…
...it might have been an early hint that this wasn't the "real" William Adama from BSG, but his older brother - who didn't need to have the same eye color. Again, it was the least of the show's problems.
Oh, well....I think what happened to Caprica is what happened to Enterprise: admittedly ENT was a bad show, but it also inherited a lot of the hate from late Voyager. Basically Voyager was reasonably popular when it started but very tired and stale by seasons 5-7. So then Voyager ended and Enterprise came along....

....no, actually. Admiral Adama *has* blue eyes in BSG itself.
I never had a problem with this, but basically they were trying to justify how a white actor (Apollo) could be the son of a hispanic actor (William Adama). Their answer was that the Twelve Colonies are multi-ethnic, and when we do see William's ex-wife…
....you're right, replicators work on rearrangement of atoms.
Well in that case I still say "cold fusion" because I'm basing my choice on a "reasonably plausible invention which might appear in the not-too-distant future".
The Sacred Band of Thebes was not "gay"
While I think replicators would just add to the energy crisis in terms of solid food, the creation of a basic molecule like pure H2O seems a lot more feasible, and would solve a real problem.
No, it would put even more strain on the energy crisis. The same as the biofuel debate: farmland can be used for one or the other, but not both at the same time.
Well, it depends if you mean "near-future" stuff like advanced computers, robots, teleportation and such, but the two I'd really like to see are:
The first movie was wry, the second one was torture porn....literal torture porn. And I kind of get that the point was self-mockery of fanboys who *liked* the first movie, because it's about a fan who tries to recreate the first movie....with no medical training, brutally. But it was still disturbing as hell.
I can't…
I realize that there are time constraints, but they left out Casterly Rock by combining it with King's Landing.
Sunspear is also missing, though admittedly the Martells and Dorne haven't been introduced yet.
