See they can make a space ship hull capable of deflecting a nuclear blast but can't shield electronics from EMP disruption (funny that the real military can shield electronics but have absolutely no way to stop a A-bomb).  I got the whole responsibility theme they were going for, heck every single character was flawed to the extent they should all wish for death and nobody would take any responsibility for any action they had taken ever. But the theme that kept smacking me in the face was the Computers are your enemies theme they droned on and on about. Funny but the computers that did the CGI work to create the show were actually more powerful than the computers on the show. I mean in 50 years they couldn't figure out a way to shield a embedded network cable from a outer space disruption? Besides could somebody tell me why the Galactica's computers were so safe, I mean their explination was that the old computers were too dumb to be disrupted? How about this one, why in the world would the design their whole modern fleet to be suseptable to the cylons? They knew the cylons could disrupt computers, they stated that was the whole reason for the Galactica to be like it was, so then they just forgot about that and were suprised when the cylons disrupted their computers? They sort of preached themselves into a corner here. The humans were defeated because they were stupid and they continued to be stupid, in 50 years they never even learned one simple lesson, what happened was entirely the humans fault. In the old show the Cylons pulled a Pearl Harbor attack during a peace treaty signing, the raiders swooping by even looked like the Pearl Harbor attack, the cylons were tricky and ruthless. In the new one the Cylons just took advantage of how stupid and unprepared the humans were, they had 50 years to prepare for this and instead completly sabotaaged their whole defense system by building it with computers they knew the cylons could disrupt. I got the Wing Commander similarities right off to, seems they also filmed both of them in Blurovision for the space battles, but I'll give Galactica all the credit in the world for not having Freddie Prinze jr. in it.</blockquote>
