Comment Re:The Cylons have a Plan (Score 1) 799

12-tribe humans created the mechanical cylons, but the survivors from 2000-year-old-earth (who are humanoid cylons, and are presumably the 12 Lords of Kobal) inserted a virus causing all 12-tribe-mechanical-cylons to turn against their masters. The humanoid cylons watched from a distance as the war went on. There, solved.

Seriously? That would be an acceptable story solution? Generations of 13th colony cylons were just waiting for an opportunity to get revenge on the human colonists for 2000 years, and decided to strike with a virus in the toasters. Then they decided to reveal themselves by nuking all the colonies 40 years later.

I guess some of us are hoping for different things. But yes, it's been pretty obvious they've been doing things for the sole reason of them "being cool" for far too long, and their crazy quilt is unraveling. I don't expect some of my questions to be answered either. Because I don't think the "writers" are able to.

The problems I have are primarily:

--That the 5 have been living amongst the humans for some time now, will Colonel Tigh being around for quit a long time. How did they get there? How did they get by in the colonial "system", as it were? Why did they suddenly get activated? Surely someone in the cyclons know.

--On the point of the 5, somehow the cylons don't even know who they are for most of the series, don't even know the final 5 are in the fleet, but somehow through all the nuking the cylons did, all the shooting and destruction--somehow, the 5 are still alive? Riiiight.

--That the humans created the Cylons as machines, had a big fight with them, the Cylons left for 40 years (?), came back with human looking versions, of which there are supposedly 12 models (only 7 are duplicated?). But now, the 13th colony ---2,000 years ago---was actually all human-looking cylons. Wait, what? That doesn't provide an explanation of how they could be living with humans at all.

These are a few of the problems I have with their plausibility. It just doesn't make any sense.

You seem to think that there are some rich 9-5ers that will be affected by this. That these people will find it harder to make a life for themselves. The tax Obama is backing is for the top 2% of incomes: From people like CEOs of major company's, Senators and congressmen (including Obama!), and celebrities of various forms (TV, movies, writers, etc). The creme de la creme. Not everyone else you've met in your life (likely, at any rate).

This isn't a communist agenda. This is an attempt to slow down the widening of the gap between the Haves and the Have-nots (or, if you prefer, the Uber-rich, and the middle class).
