Okay, so let's have them [inconsistencies/contradictions]. We can address them one by one.

Cited some in my first post. They included

the alleged difficulty of distinguishing Cylon anatomy (i.e., only Baltar was able to devise a test, and the distinction was only detectable on the molecular level after an 11 hour procedure) being inconsistent with Cylons' apparent sometimes-red-glowing spines
the alleged difficulty of distinguishing Cylon anatomy being inconsistent with their ability to 'download' to the resurrection ship, receive signals etc (which implies some transmitter/receiver mechanism). Along these lines, think of Boomer putting her hand in Cylon goo and interfacing with their computer. Human hands can do this? No. Hands that can do this are hard to distinguish from human hands? I don't think so.
the Tigh=Cylon question not squaring with what we know of Tigh's earlier life, i.e. fighting in the Cylon war, with Adama etc. Those scenes and allusions implied that Tigh was placed in human society prior to the Cylon war. But Tigh being a "Cylon" then implies that skinjob technology existed way back then, which doesn't square with the picture BSG had been painting of a robots -> hybrid -> skinjob progression (that Adama semi-uncovered in between the wars).
the 4 people deciding they were "Cylons" solely because they (1) heard music in their heads and (2) wandered into the same room simultaneously. So the definition of "Cylons" is now "people who are apt to hear music in their heads and get urges to do things"? Who's not a Cylon in that case?
the supposed "Cylon plan" that existed in title cards only
the constant references to "the final five" within the show, as if the characters are all aware they're on a TV show in which things are being sequentially revealed to some viewer

Now, I suppose you'll write back and come up with explanations/interpretations in which all of the above make sense. And hey, knock yourself out, it's all in good fun :) But the thing is, why should we have to do that? Shouldn't it make sense without having to bend over backwards and shoehorn inconsistencies away? People like you will be willing to do that because, essentially, they have become fans of the show and feel compelled to defend it. But people looking at these things objectively will admit that they are at least a little contradictory and don't mesh well.

Let me take a stab at a few of these, it is fun.

Glowing spine: two things here, as we explore the genome of humans and animals we learn that all the creatures on this rock (and presumably BSG rocks) are really really similar, that would include lightning bugs. I don’t know how many genes would have to be changed to make it so humans could glow but I bet it’s not a lot, we’ve already done experiments to give other things (a couple of plants and some fish) lightning bug glow. On the other hand who says they actually glow at all, that could entirely be a “for the audience” thing so we’d know who some of the Cylons are, luckily they decided to show us that with the females, I don’t want to see Dean Stockwell’s naked back.

The download/ interface thing is definitely odd, but who knows. As we get closer and closer to “jack-in” computing it is important to remember that most of our impulses cruise around our body in a way that’s similar to electricity and we already know can be mimicked by electricity. Maybe human hands can go in the Cylon goo and interface, Baltar chickened out so we have no data in either direction on that.

Tigh: who knows. I think that’s part of the big reveal. My guess (100% totally unsupported by ANYTHING in the show so far, though not contradicted either): some human was screwing around with “merging” Cylons and humans before the first war and this is where the originals like Tigh came from. This would also explain why the Cylons put so much work into skin jobs, because they knew it could be done.

The reveal of 4: remember it wasn’t just the music and the location. Both Tigh and Tori have said a switch went off in their heads and they knew. Which is consistent with how head Six described the awakening of deep sleeper Cylons, they wouldn’t know and then they would.

The plan: they did have a plan. They were going to replace the humans, that got hosed up by Caprica Six and Boomer Eight at the end of season 2. But they did have a plan.

The Final Five: what else should they call them. Both humans and Cylons knew (through various means) there were 12 models and knew they only could identify 7 of the 12. There’s going to be some label for them, The Other Five, The Mystery Five, The Five We Don’t Know About, might as well be The Final Five, has a good ring to it.

There are certainly things that don’t mesh well, and things that are odd. But that’s part of story telling, especially when the story is incomplete. I remember when B5 was going on at one point a lot of the fans were complaining to JMS about how much the story was a generic “good vs evil”, “dark vs light”, it was all so obvious the Shadows were the bad guys and the Vorlons were the good guys and he’d promised something more than that. JMS only ever had one answer, and he said it over and over for a season and a half: wait for it. If you’re familiar with Babylon 5 then you know he was right and the complainers were wrong, but at the time before the story was complete it looked different. There’s still close to a dozen episodes of BSG to go, I’m not going to declare anything contradictory until the WHOLE story is told.

People like you will be willing to do that because, essentially, they have become fans of the show and feel compelled to defend it. But people looking at these things objectively will admit that they are at least a little contradictory and don't mesh well.

"People like you"?

I'm not compelled to defend anything. It is a television show, written by human beings. Premises change, plans are altered, minds are changed over the course of several years.

Even if things are "a little contradictory", that doesn't mean it isn't an enjoyable television program. So I guess I'm missing your point.
