Of course . . . . . its whatever universe the author wants to create. He'll live and die with it.
So, while amusing, I don't have much of a problem with it . . . . as I said earlier.
In his Foundation novels, where the original Earth is thousands of years in arrears, Asimov assumed smoking was as culturally integrated in that universe as it was in his own.
Another thing . . . . . the peculiar issue of suits and ties on Galactica would have developed independent of any cultural comparison on a long lost Earth.
But, who cares? The great pulp science fiction of the 1950's loved putting cans of pork and beans in backpacks to snack on.
i don't get your argument. the characters in the show have said that the 13th tribe left the colonies for Earth 4000 or more years ago, and if we're to assume this civilization came from Earth originally then i would think they have to be at least 5000 years in the future from where we are now
My post said it might be 5,000 years from now
. Or 1,000. Heck, use 10,000.
Others who debate this kind of thing assume all of this didn't originate on Earth, that it originated on Kobol.
I like the Earth origins though . . . . one can come up with all sorts of 10,000 year scenarios to cover that bamboozler.
Eventually, like any good serial, this show will have to tell you. . . . . probably sooner now than later.
