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
precisely *g* Our definition of 'human' is much more flexible than any Colonial. I rather like the bits of Cylon culture we've seen that are not human and more alien, but that's my own SF subgenre bias. A detailed alien culture will always punch my buttons more than cyber-humans. *g*
I would bet that attitude of "we did this ourselves" was more prevalent in the First war, when the Cylons were more clearly their creations, instead of the self-evolved beings they are now. The Cylons seem to be the only ones who remember, or care anyway, that the humans started it all.
As far us on Earth go... yeah, we can hope that reason will win out. And we will have all those movies and such to point to and say, "We all saw that movie. Do you want to cause Judgment Day? Let's not panic and try something else."
