BSG wasn't in the future, it was in the distant past. The people there were the distant ancestors of modern humans (in combination with humans who evolved here on Earth separately from the colonists, and were magically genetically compatible, apparently due to likely divine intervention according to the characters).
So some technologies were more advanced than ours, but other technologies were very much not (such as cassette recorders, radio, etc.).
- Swizec 4y agoYeah that ending always felt flabby to me. 4 seasons of futuristic space-faring humans with FTL jumps fighting a war with super advanced AI cyborgs … psyche, joke’s on you viewer, this is actually 100,000+ years ago. Worst part of the whole show
- midoridensha 4y agoI don't see how it could have been handled any other way, given the mythology of the show (that there was a 13th lost colony called "Earth", that everyone had heard of).
