Season 2: Nuke the entirety of the “new crew adventures” from season 1, including most of the cast, and turn the show into Galactica '84 with an awkward shoehorned romance. Only highlight was Q’s send off. AKA “We needed a series ending, but we fucked it”.

Season 2, and really any Sci-Fi or fantasy that abandons its own setting to travel to "our world" in time or dimension, is doing it either for budget reasons or because somebody wanted or needed to mail it in. With COVID, it could have been "all of the above."
