Well that's the other thing - she could just be a power-hungry bitch. That's what is very cool about BSG - you don't exactly know where each character stands.
We REALLY don't know if Six is just a figment of Baltar's imagination and everything that has happened could be just dumb luck. They've covered their tracks well. I believe Ron Moore wants to keep it ambiguous.

The loss of the preview scenes in the opening sequence is awful! That was the best part!
As far as networks go, I think part of the problem is that while certain systems can by nature be accessed from outside (like, say, navigational sensors), those systems aren't generally directly connected to the computer system. The problem lies in connecting vital systems to ones that are related to external communication. At least, that's what would make sense, so I'm assuming that's their explanantion too.

I had the thinking the preview scenes in the opening sequence might just have been cut for this episode, since there was such a lengthy "Previously, On Battlestar..." sequence.

It's true, there was a lot of credit sequence in the first season - The "season precis," as it were, the "Cylons were created by man" bit I mean; the actual "Previously on BG" bit; then the pre-credits part of the actual episode (there's a name for it, I forget what); then the credits/title sequence; then the flash-preview. That's a lot of stuff to get through every week, especially given how the pre-credits bit of some eps were about 5 or 10 minutes long.
Perhaps Ellen Tigh wants Gaeta punished because he'd then be out of the way, as he's too much of a straight arrow to be corrupted by her?
Mind you, if anyone else ever turns out to be a secret Cylon, my money's on Gaeta anyway. Someone put that transponder in C&C in the miniseries and it needn't have been Doral.

Teaser, is what I've always called it.

Ah, so they've finally discovered the secret speed-dial function of the Stargates. Next they'll be using them to send text and photo messages too.

Yes, imagine the xenophobic Ziploids suddenly reprogrammed a gate to decompress only travellers from their own kind and just broke compatibility with the rest of the galaxy where the Rarwinian toolset (capable of easily unpacking even the densest Ziploid stream) was still installed in each gate. It'd go against all the principles of the show. B)

And anyway, enough hijacking this thread! It's all a ploy by the Stargate-should-have-its-own-forumites. So, Battlestar Galactica, replicants, whoo, scary! If they were created by men, do you think they got their name because they were fitted with the Intel Cylon processor?
(I now have this idea for an advert for the Cylon processor stuck in my mind - instead of the whirplool and bing-bing-bing-bong sound, you have a red dot that goes left-to-right-then-back twice and a voom-voom, voom-voom sound)

So Starbuck's stuck on Caprica now, too. Crap.
I personally wish they'd replace that effects shot of the Vipers landing (reused from the mini). There's only one Mk VII in that shot, and it bounces badly off the landing strip. Apollo's Mk VII is the only one left, and he's a much better pilot than that.
As for Ellen Tigh, I like Apollo's comment (as best I can remember) about that: "If she's not a Cylon, we're really in trouble."
I'm not sure whether I like the new opening music or not yet. I liked the way the original was almost all percussion. Of course, being a drummer, I might be biased.
Re: STARGATE - They meant that the opening credits were cut from 1 minute to 10 seconds, so that Sci-Fi can have 50 more seconds for commercials. That really sucks because I happen to like the music, and the producers think it helps make the show what it is.
