Well, towards the end Ron Moore admitted that there was no "plan", and they were just making it up as they went along. Specific example was that they had no idea at all who the final five were when they introduced that concept.
Which just confirmed my realization that if the Cylons had ever had a "plan", they'd long since gone from plan "A" to plan "Q" or so, hitting every letter along the way.
BSG annoys the crap out of me. At its best, focuses on the people on Galactica, it can be incredibly strong. But almost anything specifically to do with Cylons is incredibly poorly done and thought out. And don't get me started on the last half hour of the finale, which ruined the series as a whole for me. To use the analogy of a show character having to hold the "idiot ball" to justify an out of character plot complication, that puppy had an idiot ball the size of a red giant star.
