DVICE (formerly SciFi.com’s tech blog) knocks Battlestar Galactica for being so decidedly low-tech. Yes, but that’s one of the reasons why I love the show so much: since the technology, for the most part (excluding the, y’know, FTL engines), is so decidedly unmagical, the show tends to ignore the cheap outs and deus ex machinas of other sci-fi shows (unlike the detested Star Trek Voyager whose crew couldn’t find their way out of a paper bag without a tricorder).
