So, i watched the opening and a couple of S1 episodes last night..
Are the writers more retard than robot?
Which robot? But whichever robot you suggest the answer will be no.
In the one where they jump and then eventually get attacked by a scouting party and starbuck crashes onto a moon.
Questions in my mind. When does a scouting party ever have orders to blindly attack, instead of actually filing a scouting report?
The cylon scouting parties almost exclusively attack to cause disruption then jump away. Why? Why do anything in war? Why did the redcoats form a line rather than a square? Why did the British fleet sail through the French at Trafalgar? Why did Hitler persecute a war in Russia?
They are tactics individuals choose, that is a cylon tactic.
Secondly, the sylons are robots right? so why do they have organic pilot things? So messy, spurting bblood, requiring oxygen etc, why not just have a cpu that controls the ships? Computers can stand more G forces and stuff necessary in combat which is better than organic life right?
That is what they are
why do humans have squishy organic bits? Becasue that is what we are
When justifying the decision to stay and search, the president woman complains, but the army guys never say to her, 'look this girl is actually our BEST pilot, BEST Sniper.. the army leader guy says that they dont leave people behind, well actually they did just one or two episodes prior?
Because it would be hard to justify the decision to stay behind for one person despite their skills. HIs reasons for staying behind are entirely apparent to anyone watching and paying attention and it is equally apparent why he does not wish to share these true reasons with a president he doesn't trust.
Given the cylons are robots and stuff, why dont they banzai kamikaze the BSG fleet ships? Surely they have little concern for loss of their own 'life'? well by the way they fly and try to fight the human fighter spacejets you'd think so abnyway:/
They are sentinent and alive, would you suicide bomb yourself for the good of everyone else? No? Then why be surprised that they would. Also being a bad pilot, or just not as good as the opposition, does not mean you should go and kill yourself
And if you were Battle star galacica, isnt earth the LAST place you'd want to go to? What good can leading the cylons to the last enclave of humans actually suceed in doing? if they wanted to ensure the future of the human race, actually the best thing they could do is to kill themselves allowing the cylons to call off the hunt and persue, whatever it is they wanted to do after ridding the galaxy of humans, as opposed to leading them possibly closer and closer to earth?

Lets all kill ourselves because we are losing a war, lets not try and regroup or do anything else let's just kill ourselves. Along with all them robots that are killing themselves suicidily (in your world)
Do you have any issues you want to talk about?
You know, in 1970 they might not have thought of this things, but this is 2012 and im not even a sci fi fan and yet i can still see some pretty ragged actions that make me question the validity of the universe that this series inhabits.
No you have brought up quite frankly ridiculous ideas, without even engaging your brain to find a sensible solution or answer to your questions first, and decided that because you cannot comprehend something one of most popular scifi shows of all time lauded for its depth and attention to detail is flimsy and ragged
Try watching it again with your brain on and you will really enjoy it as it is the best scifi ever made (arguably) but if you cannot engage your brain when watching TV (not being insulting here I know a lot of people don't like to think when watching the idiot box, they just want to be entertained) then this is not the series for you.
