If its true that Tigh+Six will have the first Cylon-Cylon baby, how did Earth get populated by Cylons? I guess they were all pod people?

Lots and lots of questions, about time for some answers!

It's starting to get worse than Lost used to be in terms of no clarity.

Were they "just there" and no one noticed they had no past/background? Where
did they think they came from?

By all reckoning Tigh at least had a young adult; as the old man has known him for 30 years.

There is just too much left unexplained; or unexplainable.

Yeah, and how did the 13th tribe create human-toasters, instead of centurions. That issue - the switch from mechanical to biological has never been clearly explained, and as in my last post, I suspect will never be explained.

Sometimes I think TV writers are given way too much freedom to do whatever the frack they want, with no disregard for logic or explanation. If they did that in a book, they would generally be lambasted by readers and reviewers.

I think this one is pretty easily answered...

I think the Cylons from Earth were able to procreate without difficulty, like humans. They were probably more human than cylon. The machines developed by colonials left after the war, and decades later you've got humanoid cylons, but they're flawed and can't reproduce (why, we don't yet know).

So Tigh+Six have no problem making a baby because he's more genetically accurate/correct than the other models, who have somehow become corrupted (genetically-speaking).

Why the final 5 don't remember where they originally came from, we don't know yet. But I'm sure we'll be told eventually.

Unless Starbuck is the first cylon-cylon baby.... hehe!

She's probably just a cylon (Saul Tigh) - human (her mother) hybrid, but we don't quite know yet, do we???? We do know Hera is half/half, but is she the FIRST??

That would by far be the easiest answer to Starbuck, but still wouldn't explain the new white viper she came back in...

I don't know but I sure hope that they tie up the loose ends and use some logic here. If it turns into another LOST I will be pissed. I quit watching that show because it never explained anything , just continued to pile up the unanswered questions. People don't want just mystery without any answers.

One answer:

Biggest sap: The Chief. He really got screwed over.
