The evolution of the Cylons takes a new turn with a human-looking centurion commander, Andromus (played by Universal TV series favourite Roger Davis), crash-landed on Earth with a centurion, and searching for a way to contact their kind from the bizarre realms of New York City in order to launch an attack on this hidden human world, in the two-part Galactica 1980 story The Night the Cylons Landed, a great idea sadly not really realised for its full dramatic worth and a story too comedic by its climax, due to the nature of the programme now being geared towards a younger audience time slot.
The idea of human-looking Cylons was a potentially chilling one, and too good to not be used by writer/producer Ronald D. Moore, successfully integrating the concept into his gritty noughties, post-9/11 re-imagining of the series.
