Well, you say that, but considering they had Reader's Digest Condensed Books in the original dust jackets on the coffee table, I don't see why they *wouldn't* have a copy of Robert's Rules of Order. (Why yes, I'm still annoyed by that one ten years later...)

ROFLOLOLOL so glad I never picked up the reboot.

Well, that's a bit over-the-top.

To be fair, the 1980s-inspired clothing in weird colours, and the Hunt for Red October military intercom (they have SPACE FIGHTERS but still communicate via rotary phone okaaaay) combined with the Cylons being so high-tech they're indistinguishable from humans, IDK. It just...irked me, and I never could quite put my finger on why, every time I turned it on, there was just something ... off ... that made me recoil, and I never picked it up. All the little things, like this, probably did my subconscious in.

The one thing I can comment on is the phones, since there was an in-universe explanation. Galactica was alone in using outdated tech, which is why it survived the attack on the colonies: modern tech, which was both cordless and networked, was vulnerable, and had been used against humanity in the original war.

I don't get your comment on 1980s-inspired clothing in weird colors, however...?

IIRC, the newer Pegasus was also shown to have the same old rotary-style phones. But they'd been fighting the Cylons for some time at that point, and Cain could've had her retrofitted with the old gear for exactly the same reason.

Sci fi showing people in the future using tech/fashion that completely dates it as a product of its time is a pretty common thing for the genre though. There's a whole tvtropes page for it. BSG is hardly the worst case.

Not sure what you're talking about?

1980s-inspired clothing in weird colors
The miniseries had a particular costuming and cinematographic aesthetic to it that, as a child of 90's sci-fi, I LOVED, but it wasn't followed through in the tv series afterward.
