i am on the 4th of Richards BSG novels, Rebellion, and have noticed some
continuity flubs between it and the previous, Resurrection. He is using
different ghost writers between the two and the editor was not paying
very close attention.
In Rebellion, the Fleet is said to be 'at the end of its fuel and food
resources, but in Resurrection it clearly states that the fleet had a
chance to top off their fuel supply and lay in copious provisions from
Kobol and the two stories take place in a short space of time of each
other.
also, in rebellion it says baltar is, and has always been, in the brig,
but in resurrection he had the run of the ship under guard but with the
safeguard of a bomb in his chest if he tried to get away.
i hope they tighten up continuity in futvre novels!

I got the first two of those novels and I have been meaning to get the
rest of them. I like the fact that he did do those for a while, and I
generally appreciate the efforts of anyone to make stories for the
classic series.

And overtime you come to just take it for what it is. I mean on the
fuel and food issue, it seems like even in the TV run they would fine
one episode and in crisis the next. Just figure some time passes
between episodes and you have to admit it is a big fleet so those
resources would go quick.

Honestly if I was Adama I think I would have worked to seed the galaxy
with humans dropping them off on the habitable planets we they went
along. That way, something happens, humanity has multiple footholds.

as to starting seeding colonies, the cylons were always right on their
asses.
plus they came across numerous colonial settlements and then that
'terran' bunch. what happened after the colonials moved on? the cylons
must have found them and wiped them out.
it seems like their only REAL hope is to finally get away from the
Cylons totally or run into a civilization [human or otherwise]
technologically advanced enough to help them battle the cylons to a halt
at least and preferably push them back or exterminate them or reprogram
them or whatever.

You need a breeding population and sufficient equipment to start.

And, don't forget, they are being chased by the enemy, the Cylons, .....
dropping of seed populations might just be giving the enemy target practise.

Correct, the seed populations would not have the means to defend themselves
against any large, orven small, force. A small attacking force, even if
fought off, would just report "here be humans".

It would take several generations to build a sizable population with the means
to hold its own.
