I don't know. It doesn't bother me so much.
Everything on the ship is like it is because it's practical. Wires on phones, doors that have to be physically opened and closed...it's all very practical. It really seems like a battle ready ship. Not that I've ever been on one..but you know..I read...a lot.
Automatic swooshing doors would be nice, but this ain't Star Trek. Carpet in CIC? Pssft...there ain't even carpet in the soldiers' rooms.
As for Kara's car, well, they were damned either way they went with that. If Kara had pulled out in some big ass floating machine of death with gull wing doors, the fans would still be bitching about it.
Let me get this straight, they have old battery powered radios and such, but their car....flys?
Moore & Co. were damned either way, so I presume they erred on the cheap side.
They're slowly bringing us into the season and I kind of like that.
Sure right now it's hung up a little on the politcal/military stuff, but I think Moore is just trying to round out the show a bit more. I mean, fighting the cylons in space is nice, but every week? for months? I imagine it would get old pretty fast. The big space battles are coming, but right now, they've got some other territory they'd like to explore and I'm okay with that because it's entertaining and with 16 shows left (Moore mentioned it was 20 show season with a brief hiatus in the latest podcast), there's no need to rush anything. I'm more than happy to ride along for a while.
I've only seen the latest episode once (I like to watch them twice before sticking my head in here), so I won't comment too much on the episode other than to say...
1- Seems Baltar is drifting a bit to the dark side. Not that I mind, and it's nice to see the good doctor getting aggressive.
2-
WOO-HOO!!! Adama is back on his feet!
