Um, I don't know when WWII ended where you live, but it's actually a lot closer to sixty years since the end of the war.
Well, in the South.... The War Between The States never ended. Lee did not have authority to surrender. So maybe since Hirohito didn't sign the armistace of WWII we are still at war with Japan.

Yes, but the South should be irrelevent to this discussion. And, indeed, everything.

Dont say that! Wherever a trailer has avoided cyclonic destruction, the south lives on!

Say, are copious amounts of screencaps from the show available online somewhere? I won't be getting it until later January, and I don't think I can yet justify the download.

Is there a reason from the original why this decision was made? Or is this just meant to evoke WWII images and give a big aesthetic difference between the Cylons and the humans? There doesn't seem to be any reason not to have both, you'd think they would both have their uses.
My guess would be that the Galactica, being an artifact of the Cylon war, was designed with extreme paranoia about electronically sophisticated weaponry, and for that reason uses "buckshot" that no AI can convince to change course, etc.
What bugged me a little about the big final battle was that Adama says to leave the Basestars to the Galactica, but did they ever show the basestars taking a single hit?

No they didint. Nor did Galactica do anything besides throw up a big AAA screen tat the fighters (somehow) flew around when attacking the cylons. I'd love to think the (inevitible) series will mention the obvious problem of their eventually running out of ammo and not being able to make more, but I doubt it'll happen.

If he was, you can bet Galactica will have a limitless supply of Vipers.

He was for roughly 1 and a half episodes at the beginning of season 5. I'm not sure if that's long enough to count for anything.
