You could fix BSG with clever editing and a different title card at the end.
Rather than have them DISCARD antibiotics and advanced industry, just point out that 30,000 people aren't enough to actually sustain an industrial society. ie. "We're out of tylium, the antiobiotics are gone, we're running an energy deficite. We've got thirty years at most before we're all fighting over the scraps."
Then move the the "landing" up to about 5,000 years ago and make Hera the MRCA rather than mitochondrial eve (which they misunderstood anyway) and voila.
Then they've actually made an interesting point, since the arrival of the Colonist actually corresponds with the very beginning of "civilization" on Earth.
