Is 3 the model number 3, or a is it the "missing" 3, as in Helo was on this ship, subtract him from the 4 new skin jobs on Galactica and you've got 3 of the 5 that are the special 5. you mean anders, not helo, right? was that a freudian slip? so does anyone know if disconnecting the hybrid killed her or not? i just finished reading this thread and i didn't see it, but if the answer to my question has already been posted and i missed it, please just point me the right way. thanks.

Here's what they said about it: Natalie: Pull the hybrid offline? Absolutely not. It's never been done on an operational ship. It would be like blinding her. It might even kill her.I went back just now and rewatched the last bit, and as far as I can tell they don't indicate whether or not the hybrid survived being unplugged.

This post by someone on my LJ friends list, subject line "Frak me gently with a chainsaw," not only amused me greatly but I thought the author made some excellent points:
First of all - Tricia Helfer - great model-turned-actress or GREATEST-model-turned-actress?
Laura Roslin is going to be the death of me. I am not going to be able to handle her loss. Bill is not going to be able to handle her loss. Mary McDonnell brings the A-game in ways I cannot fathom. EVEN HER BONE STRUCTURE WINS. And I noticed MM's bracelet got several prominent shots.
Baltar - that was quite a bit of Shakespeare there, not just a little Shakespeare. Something's going on with people getting Earth words in their heads.
Kara, Kara, Kara. At least you're Kara again. Nice to have you back. Have the others on the scow seen her painting of the gas giant and the comet (ship)? Because that would go a long way to a united "she was right" feel.
The Final Five are from the Thirteenth Colony (good old Terra), which would explain their Dylan knowledge, and also their natural life-span rather than a created one (Tigh fought in the Cylon Wars, etc.). This goes right into the "All of this has happened before" bit -- the Final Five are actually the First Five, the progenitors of the current Cylons.
Last two weeks we got Laura's Opera House Hair, now we have a reference from the Hybrid about the Opera House, and then in the preview we have Hera drawing Sixes all over her book, and running to Six in the corridor, just as in the Opera House. And in the Opera House, Athena and Roslin watch as Six takes Hera and walks into the light with her, which hearkens back to the very end of S1, when Six and Baltar look into the crib of pure light, and Six says "Isn't she beautiful" or some such, and that the baby is hers and Baltar's, which I *never* took as anything but metaphor, and that now seems to be coming to fruition -- a race of half-humans/half-Cylons was always the goal.
Anders was *so ready* to put his hands down in the Cylon Palmolive (Special Destiny? You're soaking in it!), and then to be the one to comfort Eight when Athena wouldn't. DAMN this show is chewy and crunchy. This season breaks my brain a lot.
The two Mexican stand-offs were awesome. The fact that the rebel Cylon models tend to speciate (Six, Natalie, Gina; Eight, Boomer, Athena) except for Leoben who is simply loonytunes.
They're gonna unbox D'Anna. This can only lead to hell awesome awesome hell.
Cylon/Fleet alliance is going to be so brain-breaking. MY SHOW! How have you kick-started yourself all over again! Hell, they're so interwoven at this point anyway....
So, Kara = Dying Leader Y/N?
Laura, seriously? Listening to Baltar only puts you on the FAIL BOAT TO DOOOOOOM (and why is your mother Barbara Bush?). But it was worth it for the final scene in the bathrobes and the sleepiness and the Adama smile (SMILE!) of "You have changed my life for the better even if you are going to DIE AND LEAVE ME EMPTY." I loved Laura's reassurance that they would find it together, and she wasn't going anywhere, and her rubbing his back.. I loved them acknowledging that they'd both set up the fiction of Earth to increase morale waaaaay back when, and now they both believe in it.
And finally - that last moment - JUST. KISS. ALREADY.

Thanks, Rachael. I knew that I knew the actress, but just couldn't place her. Same thing happened as I was channel hopping and hit Chronicles of Riddick and one of the soldiers was sooooo familiar---turned out he's the new DA on L&O. Yeah, I recognized her immediately—I was very proud of myself. Since Baltar was, in the first recording, reciting part of Hamlet's "to be or not to be" soliloquy, that means the BSGers either know Shakespeare already, or... Dear sweet merciful Zeus. If Baltar ends up being Shakespeare, that's it: my brain will be broken beyond repair... Shakespeare must be the 12th model. ;D

Heeee! I have the hardest time keeping their names straight - I'm always mixing them up! Definitely a Freudian slip on my part, seeing as how whenever they are both in the same scene my mind keeps going to how very very pretty they would look together.

D'Anna is a 3 model, yes? She is, yes. Here's how they break down: 1. The Cavils 2. The Leobens 3. The D'Annas 4. The Simons (aka the model that pretended to be Kara's doctor) 5. The Dorals (the ones that look like a newscaster) 6. Funny how the Sixes don't have a single name we associate with them, huh? 7. Unknown 8. The Sharons Aren't the Sixes "Natalie"? Or is that just the one Six?

Or is that just the one Six? I'm presuming it's just the one, as the Six who was tortured by Cain was called Gina Inviere while another was named Shelley Godfrey. Interesting side note: the name Gina was a reference to GINO, the acronym used by detractors who refer to the re-imagined show as Galactica in Name Only, while "inviere" is Romanian for "resurrection." Godfrey derives from the Old High German male proper name Godafrid meaning "the peace of God".

Damn. A true mutiny. OMG!!! He shot Gaeta! He shot Gaeta!! Damn. That was a . . . . realistic shooting. Oh, how cruel. That little "let the Cylon go" tells Sharon exactly how all her loyalty and human-ness means to some. Nothing. Oh ouch. I can't believe Sam did that. Well, yes I can. He's like he is feeling his oats or something. Kara looks really rough. 15 hours and 7 minutes.

Roslin looks very alien with her bald head.
Oh! That's what's her face from Deep Space Nine - Kara, wasn't it?
