No scientific, or technical advisers?, if so they must have all been tripping on LSD. This is John Edwards speaking to the spirit of Timothy Leary, "turn on, tune in, drop out", whoa!, can you hear me bro.? Come on now, the science was way off the wall, 1 does not have to be a astrophysicist/geophysicist/xenobiologist to know humans would not evolve on a planet with that much more mass than Earth, young children springing off from the ground and ascending at least 30 ft. into the air. Kent McCord spoke in monotone he would have made a much better Cylon, as for Barry Van Dyke he spoke like he was not certain of anything he said. Did I not catch Barry Van Dyke's character mention something to the children while still on the freighter about how they would be stronger than Earth humans and able to move around more easily, because it was the gravity on Galactica and the other ships of the fleet applied more gravitational force than Earth, that in itself would be impossible. Here is another thing to consider, any living organism with muscles used to walk, or lift, possibly even the heart for that matter since it is a muscle would immediately begin to atrophy, unless you constantly worked them as in 24/7. Sound reasoning would dictate that after losing communication with Base ship after Galactica destroyed it the Cylons would have immediately dispatched another ship to investigate, leaving Adama with no choice but to lead Cylons away from Sol system abandoning shuttle crew and passengers. Anyone with an IQ over 70 would have given this pathetic television series no more than a 2 or 3 rating. I will admit that the science and general plot of Battlestar Galactica was perfect either. Caprican units of measurement conversion to Earth standard was never provided, nor were Caprican slang terms ever defined. Ascended beings confined to ship, everyone but John shrouded in veils, Count Iblis able to control the elements, thunder and lightening, but only able to move a candelabra across the the table, real test of his strength would have been giving the order to all commanders of the fleet to shutdown engines and have Iblis move them at same speed with his energy. Episode Experiment In Terra sci/tech level was all over the board, force fields, energy weapons, slide open doors as opposed to automobiles and missiles made no sense. Galactica when fighting against Cylon raiders using pulse cannons that more often than not miss the target, yet have LASER weapons far more accurate, why did they not use them to shoot and destroy raiders, or for that matter the Cylon Base ship in series finale The Hand Of God?
