I think the "All this has happened before and all of this will happen again" is a reference to some kind of eternal loop. Mankind leaves Kobol and founds the 12 colonies. Creates the Cylons. They rebel. They dissappear. They come back and destory mankind. SOMEHOW...the Cylons are wiped out or vanish. The Galactica fleet gets to Earth. Centuries later the decendants of the Galactica fleet leave Earth (possibly because of terrible climate changes, global warming, huge disaster or something), end up on Kobol. Found the 12 colonies and the cycle begins anew. Maybe the human cylon models still around then convince mankind to create the Cylons in the first place...or create them themselves. In either case this is my somewhat long winded theory and only my second post so...who knows! But I do like the topics in this forum...makes for good reading/thinking!

I've gotta say it's DS9 for me! I've been an avid Star Trek fan for as long as I can remember and as much as I loved TOS, TNG and VOY as a kid and re-watching it I'm completely engrossed by DS9, it's long-running story arks, it's huge array of recurring characters and it's build up, right from season 1 to it's brilliant finale. I have yet to watch through Enterprise which I intend to do but I sincerely doubt from what I've heard and read about it that it will even compare to DS9. And I completely agree that TOS is a must for anyone who calls themselves a Star Trek fan! It is, as has been said, the birthplace of it. Sure bad FX and some ropey acting but some truely genius storylines that are the source of everything we've come to enjoy of Trek in the years after!
