The Souls of Cylons
Ron Moore is interviewed on the theology of Battlestar Galactica. Flea-readers may be relieved to learn Moore does not think of the Cylons as "stalking horses for fundamentalist Christianity." Better yet, a Hollywood producer manages to acknowledge the existence of al Qaeda.
At the beginning, I sort of assumed that the Colonials--the human beings--would have a belief system, probably polytheistic. In the original, the "Lords of Kobol" were referred to several times. But it wasn't until the development of the miniseries when I sort of randomly gave the Cylons a belief system. I was creating the characters and working on some lines for Number 6 and I thought it was interesting if she professed a belief in a single God. I had really given her a belief in a singular God almost by accident.

Good one, thx. I hadn't known that about "Imperious Leader"; I guess I never got that far.
