I think this is a shift in popular perceptions. More geeks are writing and watching scifi.

What could be called these days "hard scifi" is trying to apply "realisitic" physics and I guess that hand held "high energy" weapons don't work for people anymore.

Meh. I can suspend disbelief for any scifi technobabble, as long as the dialog is good.

I gotta say though, whoever is the captain of the Galactica has some big shoes to fill. Watch the reruns, Lorne Greene really ruled that show.
