Get him one, fer chrissakes. What halfway decent man wouldn’t?
Oh, the artificial humanoid stuff? Well, we’d be fucked anyway. Might as well get ourselves a Moosehead too.
No sweat. We have Will Smith. We have Jeff Goldblum. We have Apple laptops. I’m not seeing a problem here.
Apples were made to be networked; the IBM PC was not. Windows will last longer in the Cylon invasion. Can you imagine toasters finding the driver I once had to download from the University of Heidelberg? 
Give the Cylons the keys to Microsoft…
They’ll be hacked and disabled with spam within a week.
Sounds a lot like the series finale to Star Trek: Voyager.
:: D&R ::
They reach our solar system, and do find Earth…
…Earth-That-Was.
Yeah, I think they could have done a lot with Starfleet wanting to lock up 7 of 9, take the Doctor apart and try some of the crew for various things.
Although, at the end of the first episode and the last, Janeway gives the same command, which is classy, “Set a course for home.”
I say the Galaticans arrive at Earth Thousands upon Thousands of years ago(going way further back than any modern day scientist believed humans to have existed) only to find a civilization equal to or greater than their own in technology.
Thanks to the BSGers the Cylons have followed them to Earth. The Cylons then proceed to annihilate everyone on the planet.
That is to say everyone except two people.
Their names?
Adam and Eve.
They also were pretty adamant that Starbuck, once dead, would stay dead.
I envision the Galactica arriving just after the Silver Surfer.
Though RickJay’s suggestion would make for some decent TV too.
Actually, this was a calculated deception. They knew they’d be second-guessed, and nobody would actually accept it, which would undercut the drama they were shooting for. So, first, RDM told only Katee Sackhoff and some of the writers, and attempted to keep the cast in the dark. But everyone was extremely upset, Olmos more than anyone, so RDM changed his mind and expanded the circle in the know. But in public, he stuck to his message.
Of course, this means we can’t take anything he says at face value now, because he could just be frakking with us…
Why? How? I’m not getting this.
Galactica v. Galacticus!
(A pairing that might lead to reconciliation of differences through . . . well, come on, how long has it been since Galacticus got laid? 
)
Sorry about that man, I didn’t mean it like that I guess. What I basically mean that is that it won’t be interesting if they just arrive at earth and it becomes some sort of political thing. Regardless, from a language standpoint, if they do decide to land on earth in the year 2008, then they are going to have to make some kind of less-than-elegant explanation about languages. Obviously they have to speak English for the production, maybe they’ll simply ignore it all together, which I think would probably be the best way. Just say that the Colonies speak English and say, “Well, gee whiz isn’t that a coincidence?!”
As far as Starbuck is concerned, do we know for a fact that she’s really alive? I was really skeptical that she ever did die to be honest, and I really couldn’t see her coming back, but who knows? I was thinking that it’s possible that she was just inside Lee’s head.
But they could easily make the discover of earth quite interesting as well. The scale could be much more immense then. It could basically consist of them training the earthlings in their tech and producing methods in order to frak up the cylons, but it would also be necessary to beef up the cylons too. That’s not impossible, and I don’t see why they couldn’t come of with some kind of secret weapon or something.
I have a lot of hope for it. Oh and secondly, let’s imagine that Starbuck really didn’t die. So she apparently made it to earth. She is in a Viper, and that thing can’t go very far, so Earth must be close.
Or, even more interesting, maybe the Cylons and the Colonials will agree not to interfere with Earth? We could possibly see the Colonials and the humanoid cylons interfering with earthly affairs in an espionage-like game for a while to come as well. All you’d have to do is park the fleet behind a planet, and they could stay out of Earth’s sight.
Galacticas can’t get laid because there’s no orifice big enough to… Hey! A new use for the unused flight deck!
Back to the OP… I’m half-convinced that the Colonials and the Cylons are part of some larger scheme concocted by the Kobolians and/or Earthers. I wouldn’t be surprised if our heroes and villians reach Earth only to find out that the 13th colony set up the whole scenario and has been watching them all along. Then some Earther hits the big red reset button, and the Colonials get sent back to the Colonies, and we see Baltar’s ancestor inventing the first Cylon, then roll final credits…
(See my other post for more fanwankery.)
I’m sorry to be obtuse, but the proper term is “Earthicans” 
I just wanted to bring something up on edit. Col. Tigh was in the service for 40 years, right? So the Cylons must have created the humanoid cylons while they were still battling earth, right? Nobody seem to mention that. But also Tyrol probably isn’t 40 yet either, so somehow they snuck him in along with the other two.
I’m telling you, they’re Original Cylons. They definitely predate the metal ones and I’ll bet they even predate the 12 Colonies.

Sorry about that, I was trying to get it in under edit time, didn’t want to post again, but after having read what you said in your other post it makes a lot of sense. I hope the writers would be so clever. I don’t know about the Starbuck resurrection thing so much though. But your theory about the “original cylons” thing could explain why the identity of the final 5 is a secret.
So the Cylons were made by somebody a long time ago. The Colonists made some robot servants and just happened to call them Cylons?
You been getting Ron Moore drunk again?
You wait and see. It probably even works out to being cyclical - to the point where The Four/Five were the ones who made it through the last cycle and so ended up restarting this one.
