** The rise of the [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ok-boomer OK boomer meme]] and anger towards Baby Boomers in general has made some of the show's dialogue with Sharon unintentionally funny. The first episode of the miniseries even has the Galactica's original CAG say it verbatim over the radio. Some fans have posted pictures of the Battlestar Galactica character with the caption.

** Let's not even go into The constant references to "God's plan" and how the religious angle.Cylons seem obsessed with God, despite being robots, is intended to show a form of humanity in otherwise inhuman entities. But with how heavy-handed and blunt it is, especially in the finale, [[spoiler:where God is seemingly confirmed to exist thanks to Kara being an angel (maybe?) and Baltar and Head Six talking about God in the future,]] it gets extremely distracting.

* SeasonalRot: The miniseries and Season 1 are both generally regarded as awesome, and Season 2 is also well-liked despite a couple of patchy episodes in the second half of the season. However, Season 3 is considered to quickly run out of steam after the New Caprica arc wraps up (albeit the two-part finale was well-recieved), Season 4 is regarded as pretty forgettable, and Season 4.5, outside of the mutiny storyline, is just seen by some as a nonsensical mess that completely fails to satisfyingly conclude the show. Unusually, most of the individual episodes in the final seasons are actually pretty well-regarded in and of themselves, with the major criticisms being more around the overall story arc (or lack thereof).

Creator/RonMoore admits in his podcast on the episode that this was simply a last-minute attempt to explain [[spoiler:why none of the Fleet's technology was discovered after they arrived on prehistoric Earth, and he didn't put much thought into any message that could be read into it]].

** This series was a massive influence for the [[FollowTheLeader numerous science fiction shows that came after]]. ''Series/StargateUniverse'' and ''Series/TheExpanse'' are a couple of notable examples. Having a sci-fi show with such high stakes and strong episode-to-episode continuity wasn't ''completely'' unheard of (''Series/Babylon5'', ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' and ''Series/TheXFiles'' had already done this to varying extents), but this was the show that pulled it off to such an extent that it proved a major game-changer for the genre. As time went on, however, many people started viewing [=BS'03=] as just another DarkerAndEdgier sci-fi show that eventually fell victim to TooBleakStoppedCaring and TheChrisCarterEffect, being indistinguishable from all of the other "Mystery Box" series from the 00s that in reality were all [[WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants written by the seat of the pants]]. When by late 2010s audience tastes turned against this kind of sci-fi and back towards the more light-hearted and episodic style, everything that made the series stand out became what ''weighted it down'' in the eyes of contemporary audiences.
