Why do the old cylons continually say:"By your command!"? What does this mean?

I just saw the two-part episode "The Gun On Ice Planet Zero" on Ion. And I was wondering why do Cylons need flashlights? And why do they need blasters as separate guns like humans do? Wouldn't they just built them into their bodies such as either their hands or have blaster rays coming out of their one darting back-and -forth red-eye? Or coming-out of their chest as did a toy robot I once had as a kid had? They should have no need for flashlights since they should have night-vision and the ability to see in the entire light spectrum, nor the need for seperate from body guns, those too would be built into them.

ragnarr, i have been told that mr. larson had to make the cylons slow moving and clumsy so they wouldn't frighten any children watching. he was also told that the cylons had to be machines instead of the reptiles in armor he had originally planned for them to be because the network didn't want the colonial warriors killing living beings-remember, this was only shortly after viet-nam- and abc was afraid it might be traumatic for some members of the audience, and not just children. of course, i guess abc didn't realize that every time a cylon shot a warrior or blew up a viper they were killing a living being. maybe hollywood back then was like it is today and to the liberals in charge the lives of bad guys were more important than those of heroes. one of these days i'm going to find and post the lists of do's and don't's abc gave larson before the show premiered. if ron moore had been given such a list he probably would have walked away from the entire gino project. take care.

Being that the original Battlestar Galactica was targeting a younger audience than it actually drew, the Cylon Centurions were "watered down" enemies; walking targets for our heroes to gun down with ease. Only a few times to we get to see the Cylons actually hit a human target; Serina was one, the human "Red Eye" gunned down was another. We also see vipers hit once in a while the space dogfights. I guess if one repeatly fires a laser, SOMETHING is bound to be nicked.

dasher, the humans created the cylons in gino, aka galactica in name only. in the real battlestar galactica, the robotic warriors were created by a reptillian race known as cylons. the real cylons died out and their creations simply carried on the civilization they created. they were programmed to conquer new territory for the empire and kill anyone who resisted cylon rule. which explains why they don't like humans. take care.

Where do the Cylons come from? Ive seen the intro of the show and how it says the human race created them etc etc but thats not enough. They seem to be glossing over a lot of interesting history

they had a lot on their minds to concentrate on their work. they also earned lousy wages, had practically no retirement plan and were losing a lot of promotions to the gold and il-series cylons thanks to affirmitive action.
they also got tired of climbing up all those ladders and having the cylons beneath them looking up their skirts.

In the original Battlestar Galactica Series, the Cylons suffered from a significant unification of randomized algorithms and location idenity split. This led to the regressive and sometimes stilted perception of their reality.
This resulted in causing them to interact with probabilistic information, which was regularly adamantly opposed to their base programming. Similar disfunction can be seen regularly most nights on TV in the cartoon character Homer Doh!!

What happened to the IL series of Cylons? In the original BG they were represendted by the Imperious Leader himself and Lucifer (Baltar's friend)

They had to be slow and goofy or the little kids who watched the show would have been frightened.

The Cylons were slow because the HERO's must always win, and bad robots are supposed to loose. So they made them slow so they could easily be shot even by a fool.

In the original Bonanza series, Cylons had to be useless or they would have wiped out the Rag tag Fleet in episode 1 and there would have been no show.
In the mew series, Cylons very rarely interfere. They are confident that humans are perfectly capable of wiping themselves out, while Cylons get on with ruling the Galaxy.
