Yep, B7 could be a modern scifi drama with very few changes. After all, you can't put much more post-modern irony in a show that framed its main character for paedophilia and murdered his lawyer in the first episode. Could you get away with showing that on a Saturday teatime 'family' tv programme in America even now?

It practically hurts my brain to think this was on at the same time that original BSG was committing genocide then stopping off at the nearest casino.
