How so ? In the beginning of the show , the nature and the existence or lack thereof of the Cylon God was pretty ambiguous with a strong possibility of it being a delusion , like all religions I ' d say the show as a whole does a lot to point out the dangers of fundamentalism with respect to any faith . I for one had a sense in the first and most of the second season that there was a rational explanation to what we were seeing , just muddled in myth and blurred by thousands of years of religious interpretation . But later it became clear to me that the creators of the show did not have any overall plan with the show they did not know how it would end . And that kind of ruined the experience . I mean , if your tagline is And they the Cylons have a plan without knowing what the freaking plan is , you ' ve done a poor job as a writer . Compare that with Seasons 14 of Babylon 5 , where the creator had a very clear idea of how it will begin , develop and end and the show delivered it . I just hope Westworld will fall more into the Babylon 5 category in this regard and not repeat BSG ' s mistakes .
