Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dire Bare" data-source="post: 5135298" data-attributes="member: 18182">Not a continuity error.  In BSG and Caprica, the creation of machine intelligence, Cylons, has happened over and over again in a cyclic fashion over the millenia.  Also, the Cylons and humans always war against each other, with devastating results.The 13th Tribe (of the 12 Colonies) was initially thought to be human and had founded "Earth".  But in BSG, we find out that the 13th Tribe is actually Cylon.  The "Final Five" were a part of this Cylon 13th Tribe (or their descendents, actually) and they fled Earth before it was destroyed and they desired to end the cycle of Cylon/Human violence.Meanwhile, the humans of the 12 colonies create Cylons (the show Caprica), go to war with them . . . and after the war the Final Five find these Cylons and teach them how to create the human-form Cylons and try to teach them the ways of peace.  But the Number 1 model "Cavil" decided that machines were perfection and that the human-form Cylons like himself were somewhat "cursed" by their creators . . . so he wiped the memory of the Final Five, sent them to live on Earth as humans, and then proceeded with the genocide of the 12 Colonies, somehow without the other seven human-form models figuring this out (until the end of the show, of course!).</blockquote>
