Battlestar Galactica:SEASON 2 PREMIERE

My thoughts as well. I think the 'Yours and Mine' line from Six to Gaius really means 'Human and Cylon' rather than them personally.

Something to think about. I guess I tried of the multiple Cylon females and Human males thing, that I may have missed other interpretations. Thanks for the fresh thoughts.

And why is it Cylon females after Human males. Why not the other way around?

Well, from a practical point of view, a Cylon mother can control the environment during pregnancy far more than a father can - meaning the whole situation is safer for them.

And from a purely entertainment point of view, the idea of the man-hungry beautiful alien woman is a long-standing trope in the sci-fi world...

Probably because it is too close to the old bigotted fear of the "outsider taking our women".

Another way of putting that would be "hard-wired biological imperitive common to tribal primates"

I wouldn't want to put it that way. *shrug* It is an opinion far too common in modern civilized humans, and I wouldn't want to say that biological anything is at all involved.
