OK. I've finished BSG.
There's no guarantee that there were no survivors from the black-hole Cylon bases, especially smaller ships.
Adama going off and "never coming back" is completely out of character, as it Tyril going off to the highlands to die/freeze to death. I get that he'll want to be with Laura, but to abandon his family - literal and acquired - indefinitely seems improbable.
It seems to have never occurred to anyone that if one Cylon couple can breed, chances are that others can. Neither has it seemed to occur that they can also make more human/Cylon hybrids, meaning the girl isn't actually that special
(if she is that special then the Cylon's are going to die out and probably go on a murdering spree anyway
).
The fleet only ever appeared to have one doctor, one surgeon and a few nurses. It also never occurred to them to train anyone
(in anything
) over the course of the series, new pilots, doctors etc. So basically the group that Dr. Cottle went with is the one that'll live.
Any degree of common sense would have stopped Baltar in his tracks in ep 102 as soon as he got on Galactica and he had 60,000 blood samples to process. Adama should have treated him as a security risk in the first place. Had him test two military tech's and then force Baltar to train the military tech's to use the Cylon detection procedure. The entire show collapses at that point.
Starbuck... I'm not even going there.
It tugged at the heart strings. But went off the wall in several areas.
Poor ship
