Subject: Battlestar a go go.....

Think about it. Only the "Cylon" characters on this show have well-developed (and written) personalities. Enlightenment = sentience. When the machine becomes aware is as spiritual to a toaster as when a human achieves enlightenment. 
 
There was no human race in this show.
 
Everyone is a Cylon. <American Kafir
 
I have to admit to being an addict to this show. I own the first 4 seasons. The central theme of this program seems to be: "It happened before it will happen again..." and finding a way to resolve that must be the final punch line. I find AK's theory probably the one that best resolves the theme with some type of moral lesson that will not offend the throngs of admirers of the program.
 
Another clue might be the "one God" belief that the Cylons have over the Colonials. That does dove tail nicely with American Kafir's theory since most of Earth's religion's have resolved creation with one Clock Maker v. earlier theories of a God for each season and reason.
