They did say in the show (Gun on Ice Planet Zero) that the Galactica had to go through the direction it did because going any other direction was worse. Some things might seem hokey but if you don't want to have a three episode discussion on something that doesn't advance the plot you just have to take some large statements at face value.
You don't need wings on fighter airctaft in space...but it sure looks COOL! Sometimes that's all that counts.
