Well how did you get 10 for Tigh and 12 for Adders?
Also, I find it interesting that this Six got all worked up about the Raiders, yet didn't seem to say much about the Centurions higher brain function inhibitors until she devised her little plan. Yet the promo for next week suggest her giving the Centurions sentience might backfire on her.

We already knew that the Centurions were inhibited from higher thought... that had been mentioned a while back, by Sharon, I think.

Well I know that. What I'm saying is it seemed kinda hypocritical for Six to want to fight for the rights of Raiders but not their Centurion counterparts.

Perhaps. But the raiders already WERE sentient. The centurions had been prevented from gaining sentience. There's a difference between blocking innate capability versus taking away something that's already there. I don't think it's hypocritical... though it certainly was stupid.

Was this little coup/rebellions happening on just this one basestar or throughout the entire Cylon civilization?
Sharon/8 voted against lobotomizing the Cylons so Cavil and Co. found a different Sharon to vote with them, thus breaking the deadlock. Uh, how? Does each individual Cylon get a vote? Were there equal numbers of each model on the Basestar? No accounting for attrition?
Just a couple of quick questions.
I missed the episode too, but watched it on SciFi.com

I'm beginning to wonder whether the Cylon civilization consists of only that small fleet of Base Stars.

What good does it do to assassinate the Cavil Cabal (LOL)? They'll just get resurrected anyway. On top of that, aren't there more of these models on the Basestar or is it just chock-full of Centurions and Raiders?
Glad Adama thought of sending the ship out with Kara at the end of the episode. I only suggested sending her out in a Raptor about a half-hour earlier.

Yeah, why are they going to use a freighter? Won't that draw more attention as a civilian ship is suddenly leaving the fleet for no reason. I mean will people buy the whole "They're going to look for minerals and stuff."? Oh yeah, then there's the fact that a Raptor is more suited for recon missions.

Maybe she's gonna bring back fruit in a garbage scowl?
On a somewhat tangent... I found this image:

Yeah, the assassination was a bit odd. We've seen the skinjobs on several occasions not caring particularly about being killed off. Although I guess they would be easier to contain if they were all 'reset' to the Resurrection Ship.
I'm assuming the council we saw was not just leading their own Basestar, but at least the small fleet of them we saw, and probably in some way the entire Cylon organization.
I found it interesting that Cavil seemed to differentiate the 'mechanical copies' from the Final Five. Maybe the Final Five had individual appearances and personalities?
One thing about the "Final One" not discovered yet. I find it quite odd that the Four are sort of assuming it must be on Galactica. Maybe the Final One was awakened by Bob Dylan (heh), but is actually undercover as a construction worker on some crappy freighter? I mean, we all know it's going to be one of the main or supporting characters, but story-wise, it could be any of the surviving humans.
Which brings me to that other point.. Maybe I've forgotten it, but can't Cylons recognize eachother? The 'awakened' Raider identified Anders. But apparently they don't get a "New Network Device Found" popup when they get in range of another agent?
