Fridge Horror

  • If the Ovions are eating any humans that come to Carrilon, does that mean that the food they're serving the Colonials is people?
    • Not to mention the eventual fate of the minor colonies that the fleet encountered on their way to Earth. Consider what happened to them when the Cylons retraced the fleets path.
    • The fact that Boxey wound up on the lowest levels whilst chasing Muffit shows that the Ovions have no problem with eating kids.
  • Jokes are often made about Scifi Writers Have No Sense Of Scale in regard to this series, since the Galactica and Cylons are hopping from solar system to solar system without any mention of an FTL or hyperspace drive (in fact Lucifer confirms at one point that the maximum velocity of their ships is lightspeed.) However, this is realistic if the ships are actually moving at the speeds indicated; what is left unsaid is that, due to time dilation, although weeks or months pass for the Galactica and the Cylons chasing after them, millions of years are passing on Earth and the remains of the Twelve Colonies.
