I don't read it as "OH NO MODERN TECHNOLOGY, OUR ROOMBAS WILL DESTROY US ALL." It's just "Yes, we are on our way to creating Cylons, we're testing the lines between people and machines and the world is going to shift when that happens, please be careful." How are we/future BSG cycle of humans going to deal with that?

That's what I got out from it too.

The meta epilogue is something I love more and more every time I watch it because it just adds more thinky thoughts, because when you look around us we are more technologically advanced than we have been over a decade ago. It's an optimistic hope wrapped in a warning of precaution to our own human curiosities about taking things too far, as we've seen what could happen, now what are we (as a human race) going to do about it? Can we be the surprising shift in the cycle that head!Six talks about?

I just have a huge appreciation for the epilogue in general. I wished more people did, but oh well.
