Didn't mean to, but somehow missed the first two episodes of the series (thought they started the same week as SG1), and so had no recourse but to download... and then we got hooked and watched the whole thing over a couple of weeks.I like that all the characters have flaws; even when its hard to empathize with them they're interesting. The only two things I don't like about the series are Starbuck being chosen to interrogate the Cylon (wouldn't the XO have been a thousand times more qualified? and interesting?) and that Boomer has yet to develop a personality. She's just a weathervane, going whichever way the wind blows. As far as the way the show is going, I've got this theory. Most of it is obvious from the series:The cylons need a purpose, a plan to make their existence worthwhile. It's possible that there is some cylon overmind-central computer thing that is God running the show.Starbuck talked about the cosmic cycle- events are repeating themselves.So, naturally, this isn't the first time the cylons have invaded. It is entirely possible that cylons that look like humans have guided human development several times in order to create the cycle. The refugees are meant to repopulate Kobol, and then the colonies, thus making Kobol again the source.The cylons could have struck later. They had a spy on the Galactica; if they wanted to wipe out the whole human race, they could have waited until it was decomissioned, since it is the only ship that can efffectively fight them.The humans worship the 12 lords of Kobol. There are 12 human cylon models; they can appear in multiple places at once. They are the 12 olympians, gods that lived among men. (I'll let you guess which one is Aphrodite <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> )I think Boomer shot Adama because he's screwing up the plan. When 6 tried to manipulate him, he didn't fall for it at all. The series is going to be about breaking the historical cycle, one artificially created by the cylons.So, yeah, that's my theory.</blockquote>
