I sense a bit of hostility coming from you Starhawk.

And BTW Alien wasn't robots man made it was ALIENS that man wanted to turn into a weapon of war but never got the chance....oy

To many times people take what is typed as literial. I don't recall the "synthetic" humans name that went off on the crew. The point is he went off on the crew.

And what is this crap that Baltar has a chip in his head. Hummm, where have we seen this before??? *Caugh* Farscape.

And the cookie cutter theory is sound. The premis is the same, man makes machine, and now machine wants to kill man. The fact that they changed the out come is utterly pointless here. The basic structure of the story is man made machines that now have come back to kill them. The out come of the story is like adding stuff to the cookie doe.

And Starhawk I have to disagree with you about them explaining why the cylons hate them. That was very vague here and in the original series. More so here because we are only two episodes into the mini series. What we do know is that man made a "Chrome Toaster" that then turned on them. They had no idea why. In fact they NEVER said why they turned on them. Humanities Children Have Come Home is just not going to cut it for why the Cylons hate man. They will need to do better.

About blade runner, again it is the same cookie cutter, albeit the cookie cutter that has been used more often then any other. Human made "machines" who look human being used as slaves and developing a soul then choose to no longer be slaves and turn on those who have created them. Again you assume that the cookie cutter has changed when it has not. The ingredants, the story, has. So what if they are synethetic, robotic, machines, liquid metal, clones, cyborgs, the point is, the cookie cutter has been used to death. (PEIROD) The ingreadiants have changed in the doe, but the overall cookie still looks like so many others that have come before it.

And frankly the New Outerlimits lost any sense of direction years ago. So I have not been following it. I would rather watch Stargate.
