And also, while I understand that they're introducing new characters and therfore have to spend a certain amount of time incorporating them, I don't think their roles should overshadow the rest of the original team. And as far as I can tell without having seen for myself, that seems to be what's happened.
I'm not saying that the new characters should take a backseat anymore than I want the original characters to take a back seat, I just think they need to, as you say so well, gain some equal ground. There should be more balance.

The actors they have could be utilized in a way that could make even BSG's head spin. I don't want to say that such a feat would require an entirely fresh and new production staff, because that's a little harsh. I guess they just need to take a good, hard look at the talent they have and consider what they want from this cast. Do they want to use a 110% cast at 50% capacity, or do they want to double (or triple) their expectations by simply spreading the plot love when it comes to writing for them?
You'd think the choice would be pretty clear, but I'm not so sure it is anymore.
