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 [livejournal.com profile] femgenficathon. Less than two weeks, ACK!

They've got Kobol, which is religiously forbidden to them. They lost interest in the Colonies (which are pretty damn irradiated, anyway, so hardly practical for longterm settlement). New Caprica has bad memories, and anyway, the humans know where it is. So basically, they're probably nomads just as much as teh Ragtag Fugitive Fleet. Nomadic three-year-olds with no adult supervision and their finger on the nuclear button.

P.S. With Earth just as irradiated as the Colonies, I wonder if Kobol will turn out to be the Promised Land. I mean, if the Cylon God sends down a new decree that Kobol is now a-okay (and incidentally, you totally misinterpreted me when you blew up twelve planets and said you did it for me), maybe Kobol will become the symbolic Earth.

Heh. I do think it'd be hard to go backwards for the humans... though you might be right, maybe the cylons will get a big revelation to head there next.
