Battlestar Galactica primer, Part 3: The Cylons

There are two kinds of Cylons, one is a shiny silver a cycloptic warrior type similar to the old series, and another than looks like humans - a couple models of which are extremely hot babes. Now, there are multiple versions of these human Cylons. Each is identical (within the "model") but each seems to have a slightly individual personality.

Oh yeah and they have sex, lots of pretty nymphomaniac room rumbling sex as a manipulative tool, they are robot clone Succubi, if you will. When they have their spines glow red - that's the key the viewer has  they are Cylon.  Of course, not even some of the Cylons know they are Cylons and are programmed to behave as humans until they are turned on. One particular human pilot has been the focus of this particular plot point as her "dark side" began to appear with blackouts and suddenly appearing with explosives, she tied up the season with shooting the commander of the Galactica in the season ender.

We have discovered that Cylons have a version that looks human, both males and females. Actually they have 7 models (but the humans only know of a couple). There are multiples of each, and each's personality differs slightly from each other. There is a big question if there was a Original for each model or if they were created from scratch. They can bleed and can die, though when they do their "data" is transmitted to other of the same model. (I personally think they are human clones that have been implanted with cylon elements)

Detecting who is Cylon and who is not is not a simple process to say the least, especially when you have the Doctor (who developed the test in your back pocket and under a form of mind control/manipulation) to insure anyone you want to come up okay, does so.
