[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 6266569, member: 63"] The Cylons were created by Man. They rebelled. They evolved. There are many copies. [b]And the have a plan.[/b] *smashcut to black* Well damn if that doesn't sound ominous and cool. I wonder what their plan is? Why are they trying to get Helo to have a kid with one of them? What mysterious goal do they have? And then later on, the show creators basically cop out and say, "Um, the plan was just to, y'know, kill all the humans." I was hoping for something a bit more complex than that. Like maybe they'd found some scientific way to talk to their God, but it required a human-Cylon hybrid. Or they knew that some outside force was about to destroy humanity, so they attacked (but didn't kill everyone) so as to force the human race to scatter and be harder to kill by the real villains. Maybe the final five models were actually planning to annihilate all biological life, and the rest of the Cylons were trying to thwart them. But the show never actually had a plan. Like, they had a general idea where they wanted to end it, but they didn't script their reveals along the way, so stuff seems half-assed. Just like LOST, and The X-Files before it. If you're going to do a serial mystery, you'd better actually have a plan. Especially if you claim that you do at the start of each episode. [/QUOTE]
