Do you have a source for that? Not that I doubt you, it's just something that I hadn't heard, and I've been keeping my eye out for comments like that. The only ones I'd heard were off-limits for the final Cylon were Adama and Roslin. But I think that's great news; I didn't want Starbuck to be a Cylon, it would be too pat of an answer for her return.

Yeah, that's basically what I was implying.

Yeah, maybe there's a third party involved in all this. After all, did we ever find out who sent that beacon that the Cylons found and became ill from?

We KNOW there's a third (and possibly forth) party involved because of the very presence of Harvey-Six, Harvey-Baltar and Not-Leoban. Theories range from a splinter group of cylons (final five?) to one or more surviving Lord(s) of Kobol or even the thirteenth Tribe themselves.
As for the beacon, that was left by the 13th Tribe and the plaque was just something that was on their ship at the time, the infection of the Cylons seamed to be unintentional. Like the guy who sneezed on one of the Luna probes.

I did read it somewhere, I'll try to find out where from again.

In one of the podcasts (I'm pretty sure it was the Frak Party round table discussion), Ron Moore specifically pointed out that only two people were considered entirely exempt from being Cylons: and that was Bill Adama and Laura Roslin, because they're the de facto leaders of Humanity. Anyone else was fair game to some extent.

Well, as unfortunate as it might be, it's things like this that give the strike a purpose. If it didn't disrupt popular shows then there'd be no pressure on the studios, or whomever their beef is with. I wouldn't worry though, in the long run they'll finish it, there's always the possibility or resuming after the strike with a mini-series or something.
quote:Moore added: �I am ready to put the rest of the story on the table and take the risk that I�ll never be able to tell it, in support of this strike. Like Adama says, you make your choices and then you live with them.�
I would've said, "Sometimes you just have to roll the hard six," myself.

Considering Sci-Fi's history of having some of its most popular shows canceled I would have said "This has all happened before, and it will all happen again, again, again..."

So, like, that was pretty good, but maybe not crazy insane great, like the long (long long) wait made me hope for.
re Adama's weird vision after putting his hand into that tank, I thought it might have something to do with those "keyboards" aboard the basestars. (Specifically, the fact that they're filled with some kind of liquid ((like a big soup of neurotransmitters?)) that takes commands from the Cylons and sends information back.) But, like, he was still wearing the gloves on his presumably airtight flightsuit?
I'm not so thrilled with the idea that the old Cylons were destroyed by the new Cylons they created. I mean, I get the thematic significance, but it seems a little played out, to me, and I guess I'm not looking forward to the rumored Centurion revolt, or at least not as much as I could be.
Ron Moore has his own blog here, if you haven't seen it already, started in the wake of the strike, and he does sound a potentially wary note about the next season.
I don't think the guy in the cage was Leoben, since he does peep out around the corner and I didn't see much of a resemblance. Also, as has been mentioned, it looked to me like everyone inside the building should have been OK, assuming the ceiling didn't collapse on them or something. I don't think it is a continuity violation for the Colonials to have some vague inkling of what the Cylons were up to, since, as has also been talked about here before, Adama seemed to catch on to Leoben awfully quickly.
Oh, and I didn't assume that the hybrid Shaw found was God in the omnipotent sense the Cylons usually describe. I took "his children" to mean just the rebel Cylons with him, though he later expands the definition to include everybody, so I don't know. I don't think the Cylons are speaking of any physical entity when they talk about God, though.

I suppose it depends on your definition of God, perhaps in creating the hybrid they made something capable of manifesting a higher conciousness that existed before the body. There has been some mention before that the hybrids have some quasi-mystical connection with the cosmos, but like I said, depends on how you define a God.
