Of all the possible quibbles...

Okay, so apart from being pretty frustrated with the end of BSG, can someone explain to me how, in a fleet of ships rapidly running out of resources and limping their way toward the end of civilization, all the characters seem able to take half-hour showers? With hot running water?

I mean, come on! Radioactive pigeons and swing sets in the middle of the forest are one thing, but showers? On a space ship? That's a little hard to take.

I know that it's a standard trope in TV and movies nowadays to have shower scenes to portray the vulnerability of characters, but give me a break. If the writers had taken thirty seconds to think about it, they'd realize it was pretty weak.

You say that as though you've never camped near a swing set in the middle of the woods (ok, so I'll admit that there was a road right near it, and a campground just across said road, but I'm going to stick to my position that the public park in Crawford Bay BC was still quite "middle of the forest").
