You have a point,they would forgive.

Forgetting, however, is something else entirely different.

Of course,they would watch them like hawks.

To be honest, the Terrans and Zentradi don't want to paraphrase another Robotech/nBSG fic, 'the guys to dispose of someone else's windup soldiers.'

Not ideally no. Right now the Cylons behaviour marks them as a threat to be eliminated. If the threat goes away one way or another then they'll leave them be.

Pretty much. Though to be honest, this fic is getting me into going back into nBSG... especially since Deadlock exists...

I watched BSG on dvd,and nBSG on tv - and second was,to be honest,dissapointment.Not only becouse they changed gender of Starbuck,but also becouse of entire story being our past - when in BSG i could wait for invasion of evil Cylons on our Earth,which would be more funny.

Well, nBSG's unforgivable crime is that it was the first TV series to do mid-season breaks that I know of and much fewer episodes per season. It sort of falls off a cliff in season 3 iirc (when the refugees settle down temporarily on the ice age planet) but some serious stupidity shows when the long promised Cylon 'plan' reveal was 'Kill All Humans' all along (after hinting that they actually were up to something else).

Dirk Benedict was always going be a hard act to follow as Starbuck (very few actors in that era had more than one successful series), so I could see why they changed the character. The problem was nBSG Starbuck is a male character, either the writers didn't know how to write a female action hero or they were just lazy and just tried to duplicate the old one. Anyway, nBSG Starbuck was a dude as written but who couldn't fill the same role as oBSG Starbuck...who was supposed to be Apollo's roguish best friend. They tried but that dynamic between nBSG Apollo & Starbuck simply wasn't there.

I actually liked Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace at least until they did that whole she died and then came back thing only to mysteriously disappear again shortly after the Colonials arrived on Earth 2 a.k.a our Earth. Though by that point in time I had really lost interest in the show as it had degenerated into a convoluted, confusing mess.

I lost interest before that happened.And i liked Kara,too - but,as @Evilutionary said, main problem was that they take female character and made her play like previous male character from old series.

BSG really is better.Even their metal cylons are better !

IIRC, it was the first in the US market to do shorter runs, but I'm not sure about mid-season breaks. I know Stargate Atlantis had them, I don't remember if SG-1 did too.

That said, British shows at the time were generally shorter runs already, so if anything, that was just the US/Canadian TV industries catching up.

Mid season breaks were fairly common at the time. British shows also generally have shorter seasons it is not unusual even now for an entire season to be just six to eight episodes as in British shows there seems to be more focus on story and less on filler episodes.

Unless the show is American then shorter seasons tend to be the norm in British television.
