Instead, I see her as being "over-worked". If there are indeed changes to the character (which I failed to see so far), they didn't come from within (i.e. her maturing process). They do use her too much, which is part of the problem, I guess. It started out as an ensemble show, but now it's the Kara show. I wonder if we'd have a problem with it if it had been the Lee show, though.
But yes, to me, she's still same old frakked up Kara struggling with prophecies and destiny.
If the Centurions did, they were in for a rotten deal: instead of being "enslaved" by the humans (don't ask me how do one enslave a machine), they are now enslaved by their own creations! Unless they're actually working with (and not for) the humanoid Cylons, and we can't see it.
As for enslaving machines... Well, if the machines were self-aware, that would be something else (Star Trek spent a lot (and I mean a *lot* of time pondering that question, with Data and with the Doctor). But we've seen no indication that the first Cylons had a personality.
Maybe "mad" human scientist(s) created them despite the fact human were at war with the robots... Hee. We share a brain. For a long while, I thought the humans were going to go to the Cylons homeworld and find out that there were humans there, directing the Cylons' actions. It doesn't look like the show is going to go that way, but until proven otherwise, it'll remain my working theory.
You know, I wonder if the show is going to provide answers to these questions. I wish they would, instead of having the Cylons talk about religion...
It worries me when the writers decide to take away the antagonists in a story, or turn them into protagonists -- I would've felt very cheated! Me too. That's why I've been so disappointed in S3... What drew me to the show (and yes, it's the 1000th time I'm saying it) was the struggle of the humans to survive the annihilation of their entire way of life. I wish the show had spent more time on that (they lost their artists, their teachers, their writers, their culture, their scientists, countless books forever lost... And that's not even touching the topic of the families of the survivors...) instead of telling us more about the Cylons.
Ah, well, who knows, maybe I'll be blown away by S4?
