The BSG finale was unintentionally hilarious to me. Either a disease they brought with them wipes all the native humans out, or vice versa. Throwing out all their technology must lost it's appeal after the first dozen or so people got eaten by lions.
Mind you, the original series could have been interpreted as being our past as well. The whole "ancient astronauts" theory was all the rage in the 70's.
Too bad the SciFi channel doesn't seem to want anyone to see the Cylon War prequel, as the trailer looked promising.
