[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel Butler: [QB] I was really sad about Dee. I liked her character. It was well done though and very realistic for someone important to do that. I mean it makes us feel a bit of the impact the other characters would. It was also done well the way she went on a date with Lee first and was talking about holding onto that feeling for as long as she could. And the final shot of her face reflected in the pool of her own blood was good art. In the early series (or the miniseries, can't remember) they talked about Cylons having 'something' pathways...I think it had the word 'silicon' in it. I took that to mean that either the Cylon's neural systems or their entire bodies were silicon-based. I figured maybe they were made of cells, even, nanoengineered to make organs and tissues that are similar to human organs and tissues. However, if their whole body was silicon-based, it should be easy as pie to detect them - burn some of their blood or skin or something in a mass spectrometer. (Of course if it's their neural system you could do the same with a bit of nerve; or if it's just their brain, you could pinch a bit out of their skull to test. Not very nice, but during the height of the "Cylons in the fleet" hysteria you'd think they would have at least talked about it.) Also, the Cylons interface with their ships through emitting and receiving light through their skin, right? Putting their hands in those data pools or whatever? I thought when they jammed Colonial cables into their wounds, they were fiber optic cables and they were doing the same thing...but...you know...for some reason not with their skin. Maybe they have bioluminecense (I can't spell that word) proteins in their blood :p Edit: From the interview with RDM: [QUOTE][qb]One place my mind instantly went, on a fan-trivia level, was to that opera house vision that D’Anna has. She says to one of the Final Five, something like, “I’m sorry, I had no idea.” Did she say that to Ellen? I think the intention of that -- we had a conversation about that in the writers room -- [once it had been decided that Ellen was a Cylon] the intention was that [the one D’Anna spoke to] was Ellen. When we wrote the line, we didn’t have a clear intention, but later, when we’d decided [on all the Cylons], I think the feeling was, that was Ellen. [/qb][/QUOTE]I was hoping for something cooler because of that line :( [/QB][/QUOTE]
