Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

The main tagline of the show states,
The Cylons were created by Man. They rebelled. They evolved. They look and feel Human. Some are programmed to think they are Human. There are many copies. And they have a plan.
The myth crafted by the show, in terms of Barthes, revolves around the cylons appearing human. As the tagline says, they look and feel human.
This begs the question: What differences are present between the cylons and the humans?
