Anyone remember why the cylons wanted to find Earth in season three? The Colonial fleet wanted a safe haven from the cylons, but why did the cylons want to go there? Wipe out the rest of the humans? (I don't think that was their motivation. But I don't remember any motivation ever being given.)

This is me frantically trying to come up with a gen female POV fic for the femgenficathon. Less than two weeks, ACK!

The only explanation was some vagueness about wanting "a new beginning" and hijacking the humans' worldview some more. It was also never certain whether they would've killed everybody once they got there or tried to set up New Caprica 2.0 or what. (I fanwank that Six at the very least was still hoping for something like that.) The primary reason definitely seemed to be about getting a new home for themselves, not tracking down the rest of humanity.

I think they got very attracted to it for the spiritual reasons (and because the Cylons are fickle like crazy). I always thought it was cool when Cavil said it wouldn't matter if they found Earth now or in 500 years.

I agree that the Sixes were hoping to all be pals on Earth... and I think the Cavils were wanting to finish off the human race entirely. Good thing they didn't find Earth back then. (Not that it matters, since the Earth they found appears uninhabited. Ooh, maybe the monster from 'Lost' is there, and that's why everyone's gone!)
