The Battlestar Galactica is an astonishingly large warship, and I'm here to talk about... its phones

But seriously, though. The "Re-Imagined Series" Battlestar Galactica is an amazingly awesome warship... but I'm still going to focus on the sound-powered phones and the damage control stations.

Because way too often writers just hand-wave past that stuff. BSG isn't your momma's science fiction where everyone always knows everything that's going on, and there's always some gadget somewhere that will fix all the problems. Nope, this is a damned-near fully-analog story, where, yeah, people talk to each other on wall-mount phones, and, yeah, sometimes stuff breaks and you have to figure out what and where.

I mean, sure, the show was a lot more about exploring the definitions of humanity and sentience and sapience and all that stuff, but it's the attention to detail that really sells it.
