Did they make the Cylons into blonde chicks? Cubicle bound so I can't watch it right now.

Only one Cylon has been seen so far and it is a blonde chick. Mean.

There's still the metal Cylons, but there's 12 blonde "Infiltration" units, one of whom was responsible for shutting down Caprica's defenses.

There's at least one Cylon/human hybrid blonde chick - when she gets killed, there are more where she came from (and her thoughts and memories get implanted into the replacement body). There are also totally robotic Cylons.

The originals are still there, if stylized. The blond chick is a new model (ala terminator's metal man -- we can build her better, stronger...) It's pretty good -- enemy within stuff the producers made a few edits to allow the viewers to see the cylons as arabs and the survivors as us if the arabs got their way. Very subtle but will have a lot of relevance to a generation weaned on 9-11. So far it's worth the price of admission.

the Cylons made 12 or so blonde android chicks, the rest of them appear to be fighters robots, and probably many other varieties we havent seen yet.

The robot Cylons look extremely cool. The opening storyline is: Humans created Cylons and then had a war with them. The War was concluded with a peace treaty and there has been no contact with cylons for forty years. Now they've come back in these new forms and are blowing everything to hell. Battlestar Galactica was being decommissioned but now it is back in action and they are pulling old Vipers from museums and putting them into battle.

Opening scene had a guy looking at cylon specs on paper as they originally were created and they looked like the original TV series, nice touch.

Vipers fly in space with reactionary thrusters, much more believable than the original series. Although they still don't fly quite right as they really should, but it's a start.

Good good stuff so far. If you absolutely loved the original, you won't like it. but if you remember that the original was 1970's space schlock, you will like the way they fixed things.
