i think that when the writers destroy the pegasus, and they will, it will lesson the show and be seen as a ratings cliff hanger. a gimic to make drama. i don't want the ship destroyed. do something orriginal instead and destry the galactica.

Battlestar Pegasus doesn't sound the same

Too bad the Battlestar Ernie didn't survive the initial Cylon attack.
They had the new Protecter class unmanned Pocket fighters...

RDM has maintained that destroying the pegasus will only happen if it serves a purpose, and not for shock value and he plans to keep Pegasus around for a long time.

Also, everyone that thinks Pegasus will be destroyed because of the original series should remember that Glen Larson had pitched Pegasus' return in the second season (infiltrated with humanoid cylons no less) and then, after the cancellation of 1980, proposed a new series based around Pegasus' escape and search for Galactica & Earth

So I think the Best will survive and what we saw in the prview was a freighter making a suicide run

SPOILER

I told you that they were going to blow up the Pegasus and well they just did.

Now all they have is that tunker Galatica and they lost the fighters, supplies, ordanences, figting capability, and spare parts from the Pegasus.

I knew they would get rid of her, and it just pisses me off. They got rid of her just to get rid of her for a wow factor.

I have a question that I haven't seen answered yet. Who created the human cylons?

I mean its obvious that humans created the crome versions, but who created the human versions? The chrome domes aren't especially blessed with outstanding cpu's so this begs the question, who created the human versions of the cylons?

I think the answer to that question will be a very interesting story arc. My money is a human created the human cylons and is behind this whole GOD thing that they believe in.

It's possible some variety of chromedome created the human cylons. From what I remember, humanity created the shiney ones, the shineys achieved sentience and fought a nasty little war with humanity, at the conclusion of which the sentient robots left human space. At some point after that, the chromdomes could have created the human variety, but I think it's a bit odd that the fleshy ones would have then taken a leadership role, while subsequent shineys were demoted to the non-sentient variety we all know and love today.

Of course, this all seems like an awful lot to have happened in the 20 years that the cylons were behaving themselves, so it's likely development on the human cylons began sometime during the war.

Or something...

Cylon evolution?

Maybe the first generation built a better cylon, which built a better cylon, which built their god. And god built the skin jobs.

So why are the metal jobs still mindless drones? No there�s more to the story than simple robotic evolution here. We don't really know what the real story is behind the cylon revolution. Were they all the old chrome domes that achieved sentience? If so then why didn't they pass that down to their later metal robotic versions? I really cannot see a cylon, even the old ones, working as a housekeeper. Where did they get arms? Who was the first alive cylon or the first to become sentient? Was it a chrome dome working in some home as a maid or was it a military version used to fight against humans in the colonies?

What is the story behind sentient cylon case 1?
Was that cylon a metal version or a more humanoid resembling model?
How did the sentience spread to other cylons?
What were the cylons being used for that caused to become hostile upon achieving sentience?
Who led the cylons into rebellion and beyond?
What cylon later developed war machines and human versions?
Where are all of the old versions? Were they scrapped or mothballed?
Who is the cylon God?
Is this cylon God really a human? Could this God of theirs be behind the entire cylon evolution from plain old inanimate object to sentient mass murdering homicidal robot?

These questions are all valid and beg to be answered. The mystery needs to be unveiled. The story must be told.
