   Well that's a good point, yes their might be a good story or twist in   
   how the cylons consciousness is created (or indeed copied), but that   
   could be covered in a 15 minute Twilight Zone story.  If this is a 22   
   episode season, they are going to be spreading it might thin.  Because   
   apart from that, we have the cryptic story of who the school   
   headmistress is and who is giving her orders, and other than that the   
   only other story is the soap opera of the two main families. It's   
   Dynasty or Dallas in space, and none of those characters engauge me in   
   any way.  Apart from that it's so blinking sloooowwwww...

      Oh people, know that you have committed great sins.   
       If you ask me what proof I have for these words,   
       I say it is because I am the punishment of God.   
            If you had not committed great sins,   
     God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.
