The fact that the only difference anyone has been able to find is a few chemicals after the rest of the tissue has been burned is what prompted my "molecular level" comment, but I think it is a reasonable inference anyway; for instance, if replicant cells were different than human ones this ought to be easy enough to determine with just a cheek swab and a microscope.

One thing that occurred to me when I saw this one - do we know the Cylons need to breathe? There was a point when Leoben was head-down in the bucket and he just stopped thrashing and appeared to just wait. If he can hold his breath fro even a few minutes, he could survive the vacuum. Perhaps this is how agents move around the fleet, and how Shelley-Six got off the Ga;actica in "6DoS."

I don't think we really know anything about what they can do, or do without. If Starbuck's guess about a limited transmission range was correct, he may have just detected a working upload link at that moment.

They use Wi-Fi, and he suddenly found himself in a hot-spot, or near another Cylon? Probably not the latter, since the ships had all been moved farther away then they even were normally. Which would also tend to argue against him trying to cross the vacuum to another ship - in the distances the fleet are from each other normally, yes, but not 500km. . .

I just hope they don't start pulling the "Oh, yeah, in this episode we learn that Cylons can ______" crap. Then never bother to deal with it again. From what I've seen its almost like the Cylons are becoming like Giskards. I get the feeling they are herding the fleet for some reason. Why don't they simply track 'n smack it? Their use of spiritual inferences tends to lead me back to the Giskardian aspect. What is their real purpose? It also seems likely that they are attempting to reproduce with humans or I am totally missing the Boomer experiment's merits. Any guesses?

I've thought of the herding possibility myself. How else could the fleet have its water supply destroyed within range of a water-bearing planet, run out of fuel in range of a Cylon fuel station that was practically handed to them, and end up at Kobol, of all places?
