Roslin's still thinking Kara might be a cylon, but I love how Kara just goes right past Roslin's speech to go right for the heart of the matter. More shades of season one. Roslin wanting Kara's special help. Oh. Interesting!! Six's "we're not ready, we're deceiving them" thing. That is just very very interesting. Stall Adama. Tell hm anything but the truth and Leoben will "deal" with the centurions. OK. Well, damn. Everything just put right on the table. Roslin, Baltar, the truth of the visions and they're off to see the hybrid. Damn!! Little Hera's not wishing for a pony or a swingset, she's wishing for Six. But is that just Sharon's dream? Oh, she's flashing back on her dream as she hunts for Hera. The strolling centurions? Just. Creepy. Whoa. Sharon not happy about things, is she. And Roslin want them to "plug it in". Oh, crap. "You are never gonna take my child." "We didn't come here to." And then, bang bang. Well, damn, Sharon! Way to risk losing your kid in another way. And the hybrid jumped them. Because, you idiots, did you forget she runs the ship? She controls the ship? She is the ship? See, I totally did not see that coming. My exact words were, "Oh, SNAP!" ;D Heeee! Yeah, it's like, "that's what you all get for unplugging me!". ;D Everything is coming to a head at once! So exciting!

To me, each ep this season is better than the last. What a helluva a way to go out. Love these guys. Totally! There's something to be said for knowing exactly that you are coming to the end and just blowing out all the stops!

Oooooh. Now Tigh knows that the boxed D'Annas can ID him/them, if they're unboxed. wasn't tory there, too? or am i getting scenes mixed up? the mood sure seemed heavy at the four's meeting this time, eh? has the actor done singing work in the past? he (assuming it's him singing) has a beautiful voice. Lovely lovely voice! I can't remember if Tory was at that meeting, but even if she wasn't, I'm sure she knows now.

Is Gaeta singing meaningful? Do they think he's a cylon too? Ah! That makes sense. I'm just so paranoid now about any mention of singing or hearing music. I actually am feeling kind of sorry for her too. And I can't really completely blame her for scheming, since everyone else seems to just want to use her. Indeed. That would not be such a bad idea, I think.

I'm thinking it won't be Tory. Oddly, my money might actually be on Chief. yeah, i think chief is a good guess. i don't understand why he is still on galactica - what was his outburst for? why hasn't he transferred like he requested? i think it might be tigh, too. the two both seem ... not the most stable. both seem prone to sporadic arguably-irrational actions that they later regret, which seem like the kinds of things that would be most likely to out someone without d'anna there. I could see Tigh screwing up and letting the info out in error. And I could see Chief deciding he just wants to tell all and the hell with the consequences.

i thought it was so ironic that athena unknowingly asked one cylon (chief) to get hera to protect her from another (natalie). You said it, sister!

Ok, so: the seven are mostly women? Or are they? The five are almost all men. What does thiss say about the one?
Julia, also, Six? Is cracked!

And slightly splattered, now. One is Cavil, Two is Leoben Three is D'Anna Four is Simon Five is Doral Six is, well, six. Natalie. Gina. Seven is... pay no attention to the cylon behind the curtain. (un-named: presumably of the Final Five) Eight is Sharon/Athena/Boomer Nine Ten Eleven and Twelve are unnamed specifically, but four of them are known: Chief, Sam, Tigh, and Tory. Three males and one female. So out of the eleven known, that's four female, and seven male. Which seems like poor planning on the part of the cylons, somehow.

I've been thinking of that as a pattern- several times (notably when Leoben showed up on the sewage ship) it's been a Cylon most opposed to another Cylon. Julia, not that I'm actually thinking, as I'm one sip of coffee into breakfast

We know both male and female Cylons are cofertile with humans. Wow, I'm bad at finishing thoughts today, they swim away like burning fishies... Julia, no, I wasn't dreaming of Dru, I was 3-d full color surround sound down at Uncle Zay's old oyseter house.

I only know about 1% of the mythology so these observations my either be irrelevant or already covered? 1. "The Twelve". So. With all the parallels (including the infamous Last Supper promo poster) to the Disciples, what is the chance of there being 12 disciples but an additional Savior?Or, is that the role Hera is supposed to fulfill? (And, of course, the chief has a little bi-species baby of his own.) Would they suddenly add a 13th Cyclon or Hybrid at the last moment? 2. Has anything been made (it's a stretch) about the designation "6". Mostly because looking at Hera's drawing book I was struck by the repetition: 6-6-6. Which, of course, might point to something devilish. Too random? Just wondering if 6 (who goes around whispering things into people's ears in visions) will turn out to be some sort of bad angel Cylon, or perhaps, traitor? I get that she's already a traitor to some of the other Cylon models. But then, that would give us (at least) 3 Judases, rather than just one. 3. Yeah, about that "let the 5 go with us." Which models might choose to go with the Cylons and which would choose to stay with the humans? All of them seem to be getting a little more in touch with their Cylon sides as time goes on. I especially think Tory likes the idea---but she'd prefer to side with the non-rebels. I think she likes the idea of power and resurrection. Not so much with the "for life to be meaningful it has to have an end, since she's just recently acquired the knowledge of her potential "immortality." 4. Speaking of which: ? I'm real confused about when the 4 inserted Cylons showed up. They arrive full grown, right? So they were just inserted into the human society so of like Dawn with all sorts of paperwork records inserted. (I'm sure this has been well discusses back when their existence was first revealed.)

So if the final five have been to Earth and four of the five know the song "All Along the Watchtower", maybe the Earth is the Earth of sometime between 1967 (when Dylan released the song on his "John Wesley Harding" album) and the present. Maybe it will be the earth of 1978 when the first Battlestar series was created. They arrive and find jobs as TV writers.

I thought about that with Tigh as well, what with the drinking issue. He doesn't seem to have been as perpetually soused lately, but that doesn't mean he couldn't have a relapse.
