I can see that once they have their own intelligence, and decide to revolt that the Cylons could make rapid advancemnets. What I'm not sure about is going from the 'Just Born' stage, to dissatisfaction, to revolt, to military production, to all-out war, to armastice in only 10 years. Hopefully they can explain this away satisfactorily as I really dig this show.
Someone please explain the timeline to me. I thought that the mini-series started after a 40 year armistice with the Cylons, which came after a long shooting war. If this proposed new series takes place 50 years prior to the current timeline, and it is to include the creation of the Cylons, doesn't this cause problems? Isn't 10 years too short of a time to have a "technological breakthrough" by creating the Cylons, have them revolt, go to war during which networking of all computers becomes a no-no, and then to resolve that war and have an armistice? Also, if the show is to feature Adama's "ancestors", and he's about 50, wouldn't the show be more about Adama's direct realatives, and him for that matter since he was likely alive during this timeframe?
