If Equinox was not destroyed, what would change in Season 6 and 7 episodes?

That’s just your opinion. None of which has anything to do with your claim that the BSG producers’ destruction of the Pegasus was ‘contrived.’ I know that you seemingly want to die on this hill, and you’re welcome to it, but that would be a futile death.

It was contrived, just like how they always made Adama the Fleet Commander again and always made Roslin President again.

They talked big, and couldn't follow through with it.

You do know what the definition of ‘contrived’ is, don’t you? ‘Created or arranged in a way that seems artificial and unrealistic.’

So if they had gotten rid of the Pegasus in a truly contrived way, it would have been blown up by terrorists, or crashed into a moon, or stolen, or some other stupid thing. But that’s not what happened. It was destroyed in battle against the Cylons while defending New Caprica. And what were battlestars built for? War against the Cylons. So please explain how its destruction was contrived, when it was actually performing the function for which it was created, and without moving goalposts by bringing up Adama and Roslin.
