I agree with you. Hate and fear usually leads to calling enemy inhuman and it is understandable in from Colonials in their current position, however Roslin’s and others reactions in miniseries suggested they’ve never considered cylon sentient and autonomous. She always repeats that they are programmed to do/think like this but them who programmed them? I always thought that was their (Colonials) main problem. That’s what got them into this whole mess. Things could have been much better if they’ve acted differently when the cylons showed sings of consciousness first. But then we wouldn’t get the BSG to watch :P. I wrote more about treatment of AI in movies at my lj - if your interested it's here :http://ellestra.livejournal.com/2577.html#cutid - and I don’t want to spam you with this as it's rather long so I just say I hope we can do better then scream “pull the plug” when/if we get there.
Oh, and one more thing – I mostly thing about humanoid cylons as humans with some serious delusions. But maybe that’s just because I’ve read way too much about humans with neural interfaces, re-lifeing from backups, nanotechnology and cloning :P
