The low-tech style of Battlestar Galactica protected the fleet from the Cylons, and future-proofed the show's representation of technology.
Ronald D. Moore's 21st-century Battlestar Galactica reboot cleverly avoided falling into a common sci-fi trap, which effectively future-proofed the show's presentation of technology. While the utopian ideals of shows like Star Trek remain relevant to today's society, the tech used by the lead characters can sometimes feel dated in comparison to the technology of the 2020s.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The starships and technology in the Battlestar Galactica reboot were deliberately regressive in their design, which avoided the issue of it looking outdated to future generations. It was a decision that made sense within the context of the show, but the lack of futurism in Battlestar Galactica helped establish its contemporary political relevance.
The attack on the Twelve Colonies was made possible by Number Six and her seduction of Gaius Baltar . His Command Navigation Program was integrated in modern Colonial systems, making it easy for the Cylons to infiltrate these systems, weaken the Colonies' defenses and launch a devastating nuclear attack.
Battlestar Galactica's Low-Tech Style Fit The Reboot Better The low-tech style of Battlestar Galactica with its endless wires, grubby mechanics, and automatic weapons was an extension of Ronald D. Moore's generally realist approach to science fiction. Although the ships were all capable of interstellar travel via the FTL Drive, the recognizable technology aboard the ships helped to sell a sci-fi show to audiences that wouldn't necessarily be attracted to a series about evil robots.
The grounded approach to presenting technology was emblematic of Moore's approach to sci-fi, which he continues to explore in his AppleTV+ series For All Mankind. Looking at Moore's best sci-fi work from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine to Battlestar Galactica, technobabble is a frequent distraction from good storytelling, and so he generally excised much of it. BSG marked the apotheosis of this realist approach to science fiction.
