I just viewed the opener and the first episode, I thought it was mediocre but then again, I hated the new BSG when it started, Now its one of my faves, (the same with Jericho and the 4400,) so i think its still too early to make judgments at least until the end of the 1st season, maybe as early as mid-season.
as for the tech, we see the tech that we have today is because the writers agreed that even though this show takes place in the future, its supposed to be Relevant to today (not to mention the budget costs). IF they wanted, they could have started guess how Quantum entanglement machines might be used, as its supposed to begin replacing electronics by around 2016, however its still too new to accurately guess what kind of impact it might have.
I think the main reason that this will will be disliked is because unlike all the other shows sci-fi or not, there are no real antagonists, thus far; no commies, galactic evil aliens, or laser rocket robots blowing up everything, that we have come to expect from TV/movies.
this show didn't have much of a start, but it has potential.
