Well, these fans. On TV Tropes. Which kind of turned me off of TV Tropes, what I was reading of what the "tropers" really thought about various shows I watched.
Yeah, I was pretty much on the Cylons' side from the get-go. I was like... humans created slave race. Slave race rebelled. I'm... gonna sympathize with the slave race here? (Although yes, there was a "slight case of overbombing" on the Cylons' part as well) The humans were all so belligerent and nasty, for the most part - by the end I basically judged the human characters based on how sympathetic they were to the Cylons, NGL. Worked out pretty well for me, although this meant I never liked Roslin, who I often considered to be almost maniacally immoral (stealing other people's babies so that you can steal the baby blood, how is this okay?) but was still supposed to be a heroine. But there are tons of BSG fans who are really, really anti-Cylon, even though the show's whole heavy-handed point was that the whole thing was an analogy for a meaningless clash of civilizations and really the Cylons are our friends. I guess fans can feel free to disagree...
I agree. That's why I support environmental causes, really. It's just like, damn, that whole species, gone. Although who knows how many species of bacteria and stuff get wiped out and no one cares. It creeps me out to think about extinction, though, I'll be honest.
