What similarities and differences do you see between 1979 Cylons (Essentially like Star Wars Droids), Reimagined Cylons, the Borg, Star Trek Androids, and replicators? Someone suggested the Borg and replicators would mutually assimilate each other (Scary-Borg Form replicators), but the humanoid Cylons are like Biological Android Borg-they would probably all be assimilated by the Borg and solve Galactica's problem for them unless they mt up with Species 8472 or the Jem Had'r. Yet the Drones the Desiny (SGU) encountered in a galaxy far far away would probably try and destroy them all, much like Species 8472 in Star Trek. On the other hand, those drones are kind of a reminder of what could have happened in our galaxy with the replicators, yet the Dominion's Jem Had'r, or the TOS Star Trek series "Doomsday machine" planet killers probably could have turned the drones into microfragments. Star Trek's androids and robots could, like Star wars Droids, be bad like the Cylons (Lore vs Data) or good. Lt. Commander Data probably could have uploaded an ethical subroutine to the humanoid Cylons and taught them some manners, and yet the Star Trek Voyager episode "Protrotype" about voyager finding iself in the crossfire of a robotic civil war, shows what the Original mechanical Cylons could have been. They didn't have to be the jokes they were in Original Galactica and replaced by humanoids. Interesting, the original sixties Star Trek Doomsday Device seems to be able to out do everything, even the drones replicators and the Borg, only the Death star or a Starship on autodestruct inside the Doomsday devices could reasonably take it on, yet Babylon 5's Planet Killers may even be a step beyond that. What's everyone think?
