Subject: The resistance on Caprica is one thing; New Caprica was a whole other issue...

The issue of the Cylons suffering through multiple deaths is... well, not an issue for me - they're the enemy, they wanted to wipe us out, and at the end of the day, they resurrect anyway, I think Anders (and Seelix) had a point there.

Weapons in the church... now that's more iffy, personally, but still not the final step over the line I think. Esmerelda's right, though, in that the Cylons have no regard for human life so it's a bit silly to think that anywhere's safe to hide weapons, because nowhere is!

Suicide bombings are the ultimate act of the desperate, and definitely what turned them from combatants into possible-terrorists; my issue with it is more Tigh using Duck's grief to further his cause, though. Again, I don't know how I would react in that situation and I definitely think I would fight with the Resistance, but I think the suicide bombings were a step too far. Because, at the end of the day, it's wasting human life to kill a bunch of Cylons that won't die (and a few human collaborators), and those bodies could've been used to fight elsewhere.

The point I find so fascinating in hinsight is that the leaders of the resistance were cylons themselves?!?! Do you think there was a subconscious button pushed to take out as many humans as possible, or did Anders etc. really belive they were doing the right thing? Then there is Tigh. They pretty much insisted that either he end his wife's life or they would. That's terrorizing. Ok, I'm on meds right now so that's all I got. I'll try more when I'm more coherent!!! Oh and excuse any spelling errors.

... but I don't think they'd decided until after the fact to make them Cylons, so we'll probably get a backhanded explanation for their actions as part of the Resistance as part of their own, subconcious "plans" regarding humanity.
