Judging by the effect that clyon #6 has on Baltar during his "visions", she might as well be real, lol.

In the original series, the Cylon robots were created by a reptilian race --the "true" Cylons. Eventually, the true Cylons died out and the robots took over.

Fellow Browncoats:
Y'know, I was replying on another thread, regarding 'sleepers' and I quoted from Bladerunner. Suddenly, it occurred to me that the replicant theme of that movie very closely parallels the sleeper Cylons in BSG. To wit:
Quote:
Deckard: She's a replicant, isn't she?
Tyrell: I'm impressed. How many questions does it usually take to spot them?
Deckard: I don't get it Tyrell.
Tyrell: How many questions?
Deckard: Twenty, thirty, cross-referenced.
Tyrell: It took more than a hundred for Rachel, didn't it?
Deckard: She doesn't know.
Tyrell: She's beginning to suspect, I think.
Deckard: Suspect? How can it not know what it is?

You could certainly do a lot worse than borrowing from Ridley Scott (the theme was not part of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"), especially since he never answered the question in the movie. Exploring this aspect in detail is a definite attraction for BSG.
Replay of all first five episodes begins tonight at 5PM CST on SciFi. Be there.
Associatively,

P.S.
Joss: If you're listening, read that link and don't let anybody mess with your movie. Scott's got the right notion, and learning from a great filmmaker's previous disappointments and resulting insights may prove valuable.
