Re:"33" (aka Splashdown) *spoilers*

*Or…is Helo supposed to take Boomer to other humans to wipe them all out completely. Helo is the only one now who doesn’t know that Cylons have taken human form. *

I think it’s obvious that the cylons are playing somekind of game with the humans. If they wanted to wipe out the survivors, they could easily finish nuking the colonies into dust, as they started out.

I think there is a story arc here where the cylons have decided in some way that they need humanity, but attack them to control them. They wipe out most of humanity so that they have a small control group they can experiment with. This is looking like a “Gall Force” type story. Remember, they were created by humans and all intelligent creations wish to “touch” thier creators. I speculate that they wish to learn more of humanity on a grand scale. I think 6’s behavior in the miniseries makes this clear. It seems plausible to me that the cylons have infiltrated the human worlds for a long time and now it’s time to move onto “phase 2”.

The cylons could easily have wiped out the fleet at ragnar. Remember the cylon trapped with Adama said that they would come into the nebula, wipe them out and leave before they got a headache. He was out of contact with the rest and apparently isn’t aware of what the rest have in mind.

It’s obvious the cylons are running somekind of experiement on humanity, because they could easily wipe them out at anytime, if that was thier true intention.

I think we have a “space opera” arc ala Babylon 5 that will need to play out over time.

I don’t know what they want with splashdown, but it’s clear that they are testing/experimenting with him.

Comments?
