[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 2707167, member: 151"] Because there is no season 2.5, there's a season 2, which Sci-Fi artificially broke in half to try and drive ratings. It's a money grab, I suppose. Let's see: No, cylons can't predict the future, as far as we know. In fact, we've seen proof that they can only guess in the second season. Second, we don't know what's going on in Baltar's head....he hasn't found a chip in there (and he's looked by x-ray). So he may be crazy...or not. We don't know, yet. The reason for the base star...and in fact most of what the cylons do, is The Plan. The Cylon's are religious zealots, and they're trying to make something happen. If mankind plays it's part in their little social experiment, than they get to keep living. Fail, and they die. Remember Helo's "if he goes North, he dies" conundrum? Same deal, just much larger. The cylons are trying to manipulate mankind, but sometimes mankind throws them a curve-ball. My opinion remains that while some fragments of mankind were meant to exist, Galactica was NOT supposed to survive....so they've been improvising. Plus we have confirmation that there are factions amongst the cylons, so sometimes they work at cross purposes. I don't know that we're [I]supposed[/I] to feel anyway about any particular character. I like President Roslin. Some don't. I actually like Colonel Tigh, even though I think he's a complete #$(*#*. [/QUOTE]
