Number One: Why are there only 12 models and many copies? To save money on casting. One actor playing what is ostensibly several different parts.
Number Two: Cylons are gay. Really. That look like normal humans. They started out living in secret among the humans. They can't breed with one another. I'm sure there are other similarities. Seems like an obvious metaphor to me.
Number Three: Feel like there's something missing from the show since Season One? How about the steady erosion of likable characters? They've all become either disgusting and/or ridiculous. There's no one left to root for on this show. Whack 'em all. Not convinced. One word: Lumpkin. Case closed.
(One exception, Tom Zarek [Richard Hatch, the REAL Apollo]. This is only because he had Congress, err the Quorum, executed. Tell me you didn't cheer during that scene.)
Number Four: There was no plan. Just an unending series of ret-cons, hasty explanations, and a tale woven from whole cloth with the consistency of a block of Swiss cheese. Apparently, no one was more shocked that this show was actually produced than the producer himself, Ron Moore. The sin was not the absence of a plan, but the implication of one when there wasn't.
Number Five: The ending will disappoint everyone watching. (On a personal level, I hope I revise this one later.)
