Love the cyclical history plot Brad mentions - it would be amazing to see the fleet and cylons arrive at a far future Earth where AIs exist. I wonder if the show would go out warm with a harmonious humanAI civilisation like that found in Iain M Bank's Culture novels (not come across them? get hold of them) Somehow I doubt it. What about the possibilty the colonial humans themselves are not quite what they seem? Could the Gods of Kobol actually be AIs sent from Earth to colonise the galaxy with genetically engineered hybrids? After all, how exactly do Viper pilots manage to outperform Raiders which are in essence AI ships?
