I believe the original Cylons still want to exterminate the humans. The new faction has some other agenda which seems to incluse becoming mortal and finding Earth.

Well, up to the last episode, no one besides the Dylan Four knew that Chief was a Cylon. And they were too busy being freaked out about their Cylon-ness to probably even think about the ramifications of Nicky.

And anyway, what’s the big deal? Hera, Nicky and now Caprica’s baby…how are they going to be special? Or are they just kids?

Until BSG had been off the air so long that I forgot about it, I worried that the standard cheap Sci-Fi “Hybrid Children Save the World” plot would develop.🙂

Caprica’s having a baby? When did this happen? Must have been one of the bits I fast forwarded through. Is it Tigh’s or Baltar’s ?
