Steph: Wow that is out there. But no more so than mine! Verrry interesting thought.

M: I think we need to start a support group.

Doug: That did cross my mind, too. But I think there would be ways to explain that away (what if the Greystones were somehow connected to the humanoid Cylons? We still don’t know the identity of the final of the Final Five and we also don’t know if any of them are related to the Greystones.) Of course, as I said from the top, I am probably utterly, totally and completely wrong. And quite possibly insane as well.

I like the theory, but I’m not sure how it fits in with what we know to be backstory on the Cylons that Caprica is supposed to be about.

Don’t worry, the show is driving me batty too.

Wow! I like this one! I’m definitely thinking the Final Five were created by the humans on Earth and not by our Battlestar/12 colony humans, like you wrote. I don’t know about the other details, but the Five had to be created first in order for the other Cylon models to be programmed not to think about them. And obviously they are somehow “more human” than our out-in-the-open Cylons.

My way-out-there thought is… What if all the humans from the 12 Colonies are actually descendants of Cylons created by Earth (i.e. what if their ancestor Cylons were driven away from Earth thousands of years ago, so long ago that the memory of it has been wiped out?) That would be wild, and could also account for the whole “this has happened before” deal. Or they could be hybrids themselves of an earlier generation of Cylons.

My brain is exploding!
