We must bear in mind the difference in the time between then and now.Back then there was no such thing as a bible for a series. Each week the writers would cook up a new idea or say to themselves wouldn’t it be neat if ---. And go from there.
Today the new series started with a complete season planned from the start, the second season is most likely already planned out. Doing it this way is far more efficient, than the old. This one reason so much of the special effects in the old series were recycled, there just wasn’t time to do a whole new sequence each week.
Glen had done some conceptualizing for the next season, insignia for several Battlestars had been made, and some thought given to the appearance of another Battlestar (the Prometheus) beyond its name and a shoulder patch I don’t think anyone got any further than that.
As Prometheus is a Greek mythological figure we can do pretty much what we want with it. And Jason is right, it is ludicrous to think the whole of the Colonial military would be in one place at one time. Encountering frontier guard units should be expected, and deep space explores should also be expected.
The number of potential stories is just mind boggling.
