The new law might not apply to toaster-human Hybrids.. But I agree, besides at some point the president may need some more hybrid blood !

Still having trouble reconciling the "scriptures" with what happened. The leader is no longer dying, and if she is IT, then no worries about Baltar winning the elections !

On another note I had missed "scar" due to a Tivo hiccup, nice to see Itunes lets you download episodes for $1.99 ! Good one !

It looks like Sharon is reborn in the next episode. That should be interesting. I'm not sure if it is a flashback to the birth of the current, living pregnant Sharon, the rebirth of the Sharon that shot Adama, or the rebirth of the current pregnant Sharon.

I was shocked and amazed by the way they touched on abortion. This show doesn't tiptoe around anything. Baltar more or less set up the President by recommending one thing and then standing up against it (while announcing his candidacy for the president).
Both of the Sharons were alive at the same time. I believe it is the Sharon that was shot that is being re-born

If my memory serves me (and it might not) all the scriptures say is that the leader will not make it to the destination. I don't think it said how, why or if he or she would die. The writers just inferred it, because that is what the Laura Roselin character believed.

Let's face it: All the writers did was rip off the book of Exodus. The 12 tribes of the colonies (12 Tribes of Israel) escape from the colonies (Egypt), wander around for a while while looking for the promised land of Earth (Israel), but their leader (Moses) is destined never to make it there.

It makes a great story, because it has always been a great story.

Totally amazing. This show rocks! From the first minute of this episode to the last second - kept you guessing.

legion - you still believe Boltar is a toaster?

Clever how they had the 'imaginary' Boltar with Caprica Six - talk about role reversal...

Frack the suspension of Disbelief...

I liked the episode, mind blowing, best show on TV and all that !

But.... #$%*, couldn't they spend $50 on the details ? Last season Starbuck was driving a friggin' Hummer, now they populate the parking garage with a 3 headlights beetle and a French Citroen DS that has a "Sexymom" plate ! Puh-leaze.... That kinda breaks the mood, you know...

I have an idea for the next prop - how about a 73 911RS but ... with the wrong valance or the wrong headlights ! That'll throw us off, yeah !!! That's it, we'll think it' s a caprica vehicle...

By the way, did I briefly see Starbuck reunited with the resistance guy in the preview ??? And 2 more episodes only already ? Arghhh! Thankfully the F1 season starts soon, I'll still have one addiction on TV and won't go totally cold turkey !

I figure, at this point, either Baltar is a Cylon or Number Six is a human. Which do you think is more likely?

Like I've said since the begining of this thread; Boltar died in the Nuke blast along with the tall blonde Cylon (#6).

Boltar might be 100% human - but a CLONE.

If the Cylon's can clone themselves, then they can clone anything - it's called cloning technology.

The time line was screwed up between number six and Sharon. Number 6 must of been "boxed" until they needed her to turn Sharon.

They haven't tried to explain that yet - I wonder why? Is it unexplainable? Or are they waiting a bit longer to reveal what's going on with that...

Interesting idea.

They way I took it - Caprica #6 was still in the 'recovery' process prior to Sharon's return. It was a 'time has lapsed' thing. I think.

legion: Caprica #6 was definately a cylon - her vertibre was glowing red when she was doing a little 'something something' with Baltar, and you could see examples of her in the resurrection ship, and in this last episode, she was in the cylon 'reawakening' goop in the beginning of the show.

In the mini-series she also confessed to Baltar that she was a cylon, just before the attack.

In both cases, #6 and Baltar, they are projecting their own personality, in extreme, onto the figments of thier imagination. #6 really is a lover. Baltar really is pathological sociopath. Amazing.

The writers have out done themselves. This was simply the best episode! The Best!

Very perceptive red-beard, I hadn't thought of that, but now that you say that, it rings true.

I know that Number Six is a Cylon. My statement was that based on the events in this episode, I could only see them working if either Baltar and Number Six were box human or both Cylons...

Maybe the "projection" is a bug in the Cylon software?

Maybe Baltar is Number One...

Just to echo everyones comments. Great episode.

I was surprised the Sharon trapped under the building did not allow the human to kill the reporter model cyclon.....

So do you think they'll reveal another cylon in the two-part season finale? Anyone want to make any predictions?

Like I said before, I predict that Billy (the Pres. deceased aide) is a toaster. Another prediction - that guy that Baltar gave the nuke to a couple of episodes ago.

Tried to spy some other human cylons in this past episode, but 'surprisingly' the only ones I saw walking around were already identified before.

After being not too impressed with some of the recent episodes (still better then most TV, but not up to the BG standard) I agree with everyone else. Best episode ever. Let's hope they keep it up.

I noticed that too. They wouldn't give one away that easy. I also noticed that there weren't any models of the "philosopher" walking around.

Which one's the philosopher? The black doctor from The Farm episode?

Awesome episode, up there with the best from Season 1.

Now that the cylons have an organized "resistance" of their own on Caprica, are the human resistance members on Caprica obligated to stop killing the human model Cylons? Is this all another Cylon ploy to bring the remaining Caprican humans into line? Far-fetched, but these writers always come up with something unexpected.

The guy that Adama was stuck in the weapon depot with in the mini-series and the one that Starbuck interrogated in Season 1. He's still in the intro to every show.
