It's a good thing that the BSG crew and Cylons landed during the day, because Rebecca 'Newt' Jorden (she goes by Newt and only her brother can call her Rebecca) usually goes into hiding at night. And why is that? Because "they mostly come at night ... mostly." In this case, the "they" would be humans and Cylons, not acid-for-blood aliens.
Why it works:
The ultimate goal for a Cylon is to become more human-like. For the final Cylon model to be a scared little girl hiding from an alien menace, I think I would at least call them a friend long enough for them to show me how to navigate the complex maze of air ducts to escape the creatures. Resurrection Ship be damned, Newt would show the other Cylons what it truly means to survive and fear death. Plus, she's overly attached to a doll head, which goes a lot farther than the usual infatuation with human/Cylon babies or just one of the humans in general.
Oh, but there's more! She chooses a surrogate mother. She mocks soldiers. She screams. AND she sometimes wears a helmet that's too big for her. Have you EVER seen another Cylon do that kind of stuff? Of course you haven't, that's why Newt would fool the hell out of you.
Why it doesn’t work:
An Aliens-BSG crossover isn't quite what the fans have in mind for any type of explanation. Additionally, introducing another species/evil entity into the mix wouldn't help wrap up the series in 10 episodes. And lastly, the chick who played Newt is like super-old now, she wouldn't fit into the same small spaces that the Newt circa-Aliens could.
Odds that I’m right:
1977:1
