    What about the religious undertones? The Cylons are the ones with one god and the humans are the multi-deity pagans. The writers are playing at your ingrained Judeo-Christian upbringing right there before they even get to politics. What is a good Judeo-Christian to do, hate the true believers? Love the pagans?

    Hey! I'm with everyone here that this is a great show!



    The best most original SF show in years.



    About last night's show it's really curious that the beacon contalning the disease was found on the way to earth. Put there on purpose to keep the cylons away maybe?

    Fair point. Let's just call it a "dress" in quotations marks.

    12 cylon "skinner" models. 12 colonies. They don't seem to know what 5 of them look like? Hummm?

    I began to wonder last night whether the 12 models are somehow taken from the 12 colonies.... One representative from each.

    I don't think it does, since 6 tells Baltar that there are 5 models that they don't talk about, and the hybrid doesn't seem to be included. I'm hoping there was some kind of rift within the cylon?political or religious or both.

    Yea you know she says that they took a risk when they went organic and that they all have the same basic DNA. So the other 5 must be a part of that. Maybe there is some kind of rift? Maybe the other 5 left the virus at the lion's head nebulae? Hummmm?

    If memory serves, he didn't say they all came from the same DNA. He said that they all came from a limited gene pool or set of samples. I"d have ot re-watch it,m though.

    12 would be a small number for sure. I think she said they were all basically the same. I need Tivo

    I just checked. "We are all created from the same genetic pool."

    That's how the 'pestulance' affects all cylon crap--the related genes.



    I'm wondering if they're going to do something stupid like give sharon the disease just because she entered the area.



    Anyone else feel bad for Baltar? Say what you will about him not standing up for anything, but he's come close to death in just about every episode.

    There's some spoiler talk around the web that certain models get " Boxed " for some reason. Maybe these models fall into that category. Also the spoilers have it that one of the current 7 will get " Boxed " this season. I believe this came from an interview with RDM hinself so probably pretty reliable.

    I guess the cat is out of the bag now anyway, but the "other 5" have been partly revealed. One of which is the base ship pilot model. I would assume the others go along these lines, but there's of course plenty of room for Eick & Co. to write-in the extra models however they see fit.
