S7 discussion of the F5
I have been pondering last weeks episode (Six of One), specifically the scenes involving the S7. I see a Genesis themed story for the Cylons developing. The ones, fours and fives are adamant that discussion of the F5 is forbidden by their "programmers". The sixes, twos, eights (all but one anyway) and threes have launched a quest for the F5. Generally, all of the female characters are on one side and the males on the other (the twos being the exception). The 1-4-5 faction is going to great lengths to suppress all knowledge of the F5; boxing the threes, lobotomizing the raiders. In Genesis, when Eve and Adam took a bite of the apple, it had disastrous consequences. Likewise, the quest for the F5 is having serious repercussions for Cylon society.
Does anyone else see the same themes developing? This series is so rich with metaphor, it is hard to tell what is intentional, and what is random chance.
