Sadly, BSG lost any pretence to internal logic a whiles ago. The most specific instance was that Cavil and his gang had no idea howto resurrect the Resurrection Hub. WTF? They'd had a working one to study, let alone the RH itself having schematics and a user manual. The whole "Final 5" deal made no kind of sense.
Destroying the Resurrection Hub should have set the Cylons back - it would make sense, for instance that it could take a decade to grow it back. But it was nonsensical that Cavil had to hunt down the Final 5 to build a new one.
Angels, God pulling the strings, spooky prophesy that came true - well, a quite literal Deus ex Machina but at least you can't break any rules of logic if there are none. However BSG could have been plotted successfully, and just as interestingly, without the whole Angels (or where they Demons) thing and with false prophesies.
It made no sense that there was no group of survivors who wanted to cannibalize the ships of the fleet to make a good one and frak off and do their own thing. That's BS. I'd go on my own if it came to that. Abandon the stars - what are you, monkeys? Hell, I'd have gone with Centurions rather than stay stuck in the mud.
Fortunately the latest "Sarah Connor" was so awesome BSG didn't bring me down.
