Not related to Pilots (but related to Lee's family): In Caprica same-sex marriage is normal and canon, and in BSG the two same-sex relationships are secret and weird. WTF?
Maybe related to Pilots: In Caprica group marriage is canon...and I'm not saying it would've been a great resolution to the Epic Love Polygon of Doom, but did Lee *have* to get all preachy about monogamy? And did Kara *have* to get all Catholic Marriage about divorce? Not that we see divorce on the show, but you'd think that a universe that has all kinds of marriage arrangements would find a way to accommodate it. Bizzarrely restrictive and non-universe-plausible marriage laws is a pretty annoying way to generate angst.
Totally Pilots related: So, so sick of the increasingly artificial ways they were kept apart. So boring. Not that I mind some nice juicy angst, but having them get together and seeing all the ways in which it's hard for them to make a marriage work would've been sooo much more interesting than all this endless dancing around will they or won't they.
