I would assume the flashbacks are to set up the spin off. Is the spin off even a definite thing? And Lee's not in the spin off so it's weird the flashbacks included a fair bit of him.
the weird slavish fanbase who seemed to believe all the malarky about narrative planning that I never saw in the actual show Hee! Yeah. That's been the hardest thing to take about the fandom. I really wouldn't have so many issues with BSG if everyone admitted/acknowledged that it is a rambly crazy nonsensical show run by a horrible storyteller... I mean I watch (and love) a LOT of flawed TV shows! ;) But I'm really uncomfortable when this show gets more critical acclaim than others because in some fundamental ways (characterisation, storytelling, continuity), it falls short of the mark, especially in these later seasons.
