Since the flight from the colonies how many base ships have the Cylons lost? I had counted about 6 which would start to stretch their ranks a bit. One of the Cylons had mentioned that their forces were stretched too thin to be able to contain the resistance so perhaps their numbers are a bit less than optimal. Remember also that the Pegasus and Galactica had blown up a regeneration ship in season 2A.

What this points to potentially is a weakness that can be exploited by the humans with the help of rogue elements of the Cylons who actually want to become human and do not wish to go along with the factions that want to eliminate the human race.

What happens to Bill Clinton, I mean Baltar? I think that that the Cylon who left new Caprica with him will be the one we see plotting with the humans.

We don't know how many (if any) were lost in the attack on the 12 colonies. Six is as good a number as any. It really doesn't matter. The Cylons can make up their losses, as they still have a functioning infastructure. The colonists cannot do so, and maybe have lost their capacity to make up their viper loses with the loss of the facilities on Pegasus.

What this points to potentially is a weakness that can be exploited by the humans with the help of rogue elements of the Cylons who actually want to become human and do not wish to go along with the factions that want to eliminate the human race.While i don't support the idea of a material weakness, i'd suggest that the rogue elements already exist, and there are elements that suggest that the Cylons are becomming more and more human every day.



i suspect that a group of Cylons will formally turn rogue and be hunted down by the others, after they realise that they've (the rogue element) become more human than machine.
