[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE]The use of WWII trucks was the final straw that made we really really want to turn off the TV.[/QUOTE]That's nothing. They showed Starbuck's military-issue Hummer last season when she went back to Caprica. The point is, I think, that the humans are more advanced [i]in some ways[/i] compared to us today. And in some ways, they've [i]deliberately regressed[/i]. (They established that part in the pilot, pointing out the non-wireless phones, non-networked computers, etc.) Yeah, it kinda blows the fantasy a little bit. But Ron Moore pointed out in his podcast last year (back when the Hummer made its appearance), that there was really little point in spending the money and time to dress up the vehicles. Because if they'd dressed them up, then they would've looked fake. (Star Trek props, anyone?) So it's not bad writing. It's just a deliberate choice, albeit one that you may not agree with. As far as the lack of houses in New Caprica City, I'd like to point out that it's been more than a year since Katrina, and people are still stuck in trailers all over the place. And at least here, we've got the planetary resources to provide an influx of materials. Out there, they had to set up shelter for 40-thousand-plus people all at once. (Plus, the whole thing was obviously being mismanaged by President Baltar.) So I think it makes a whole lot of sense. [/QB][/QUOTE]
