Atrocities, I agree with you the original cylons were cool looking, but you seriously thought the rest of the effects stand up even today? Have you watched any of the reruns on sci-fi recently or are you just going by faded adolescent memories.
I think most of the people ripping on the old cylons aren't complaining about the look so much. It's just that they were pathetically inept, slow, clumsy, and couldn't hit the side of a barn with a bLaster. Why would a supposedly advanced race go out of their way to create a combat droid that looked like a human in a chrome suit, but couldn't move half as well as one?
