The one thing that sort of ruins it for me with bsg's caprica. Is that the first cylon consciousness was actually just a naive young girl's conscious being uploaded into the first cylon robotic body that believed in monotheism. That really ruined the bsg centurions coming upon believing in monotheism by themselves through their own methods, beliefs, and experiences. Instead it was all just borrowed from a human. In fact centurion AI was just actual human intelligence. Way to ruin it, technically the caprican laws banning certain AI advances and studies don't apply since a massive shortcut was taken.

She certainly wasn't naive. And how else would machines become religious?
That, instead of watching Battlestar Galactica, we should read Isaac Asimov?
:yes:
Asimov is very important, but, arguably, the questions he laid out have been explored much more fully in BSG. (It also has the advantage of better writing.)
