Re: OT: Season 3 BSG
My crackpot birth of the cylon theories:
A: When the colonials say "cylon" I kinda think they mean it the same way when we say "robot". Any man made AI automoton would have been called a cylon, weather it was a armed securty centurion or an auto dishwasher bot.
B: In efforts to improve the capabilities of "cylons" they keep improving their AIs, not realizing that if they make then sentient they may seek independance. Furthermore it sounds like, from what I can recall of the miniseries prmier, they also had a large network not entirely unlike the internet linking all technology together. The colonials probably built a "sky-net" cylon, it got PO'd and h4x0r3D the cylons with it's own sentience program, war and chaos ensues ending ith the cylons retreating from the planets. Whatever sentience sent them haywire in the first place is possibly their "god" or invented their god for their AI to believe in, and seeing ahead decided to produce the retard chrome domes we have now to lessen the chance of rebellion.
C: We saw one of the original Cylon Centurion models in a museum exibit on the galactica, so we know that they've been upgrading themselves. Perhaps the 5 original models were horrific failures or maybe they did rebel and this is why we have shortbus toasters now and zealot skin jobs. I recall from the OBSG that the lucifer and other "clear plastic pinheaded stuffed with christmas lights with blinking wax lips" were kinda baskstabbing and one upping in nature, maybe they will use it.
