Why should I invest any time in this show when it's likely to be cancelled before the storyline matures?

Because maybe it won't be?

The last BSG went pretty well; I only started watching when it was announced that it would finish in a few months (didn't know about it before) and I was the exact opposite of disappointed.

If I could watch the shenanigans of humans and cylons again, I would love to. Even if it gets cancelled a season in.

a BSG prequel series set after Caprica and chronicling a young Bill Adama’s exploits during the first Cylon War

This was probably pitched as [insert war series] IN SPAAAACE!

The writers could just recycle plotlines from the best half of "Baa Baa Black Sheep" for a year. The target audience could be mainstream and emphasize action.

Why invest time? Because you like seeing things that go, "pew pew, BOOM?" (Take as tongue in cheek -- I expect you have higher aspirations for your media.)

Good call. Just substitute Robert Conrad in a corsair with a youthful version of Edward Olmos in a viper.
