Hang on a moment, I am a Human! Why everyone think I am a cylon! :blink:

What's with all the discrimination against Cylons anyway? I mean sure, we mercilessly killed billions of humans in a surprise attack, and we've been pursuing the few remaining survivors and are intent on killing them as soon as possible, but can't we all just get along for a few seconds?

They do, eventually.

It was all just a big misunderstanding. But until they figure that out....run!

I've seen the end, so I know they eventually do reach some form of agreement, but I never saw the middle of the series. I never did find out why the cylons decided to attack, or why they changed their minds.

Cause Cavil hates everyone ( I think it was Cavil). Once they figured that out they made up pretty quick.

Mm. All I remember seeing of Cavil was him killing himself near the end. I think the show got moved to a night I couldn't watch for season 2 - I saw Kobol, but I think that was the end of season 1. Looking at the synopsis for 2 a few parts are familiar, but I think I only saw bits and pieces.
 
Kiwi: Answer in the spoiler tag.

In season 4 when they find "Earth" both cylons and Humans have realised this conflict is not new, this conflict has happened before and was simply a cycle that happened over and over again. (1: Humans created cylons to help with their work, 2: Cylons rebelled and killed most of the Humans, 3: Humans flee, 4: Human finds a new home and the cycle starts again). That was why Apollo proposed to others to stop using existing technology when they get to our Earth and hope to start afresh to break this cycle of violence.

The reason Cylons changed their mind is similar to the Humans. At the beginning they see each other as enemies, but as the series continue they start to doubt that assumption. Such as Athena eventually become a colonial officer despite being a known cylon and some cylons (such as the six) start to believe Humans do deserve a second chance. That was why the cylons chose to occupy New Caprica after Galactica and Pegasus jumped away instead of just bombing the remaining Humans out of existance.

It's a very brief answer but since it spans over several seasons, you will probably have to watch it yourself if you want a more detailed version.

At the start of the show, the final five were already trying to prevent the humans and Cylons from starting a war. Cavil caught on and wiped their memories.

That's true, but that's because they already been through a nuclear war once, the entire purpose of them travelling from Earth to Caprica was to alert Humans to the danger of creating a cylon.

Yeah, like we need another damage token... :(

Anyway, could our dear turncoat ex-President please play his cards while the rest of us discuss options? Thanks.
 
And that is why you got away very lightly with those 43 raider shots getting only two hits.
