Actually, I was implying that maybe they've implanted something. I can't recall the overheard dialogue between Simon and Hospital Six (I've also seen a publicity still that shows two Sixes conferring in the hospital, and don't remember that from the show, so it must be a deleted scene) but it gave some clue as to what they were doing, and it seemed rather an elaborate process given how many other women they've been plugging into those incubators. And they took much better care of her than that other Resistance woman. So. . . I dunno. A Six may be intended as the mother of Baltar's shild, but so far there's been no real possibility for one to be pregnant from him. Original (pre-apocalypse) Six got a nuclear blast wave full in the face. They could have his sperm from somewhere but this ep indicates that normal implantation doesn't work, it has to be an ickle wickle child of lurve (but implantation is potentially what's been done here, I know). . . If Baltar's Inner Six is in contact with all the other Sixes then they know of his relationship with Starbuck, it'd tickle their mean little senses of irony to use her somehow.
quote:Simon:...pending lab test results on [sample for] ovaries, complete removal will proceed tomorrow. They've lab tested positive and subject will be removed to processing facility for final disposition.
Number Six: Is that regret I hear in your voice, Simon?
Simon: If it is, it certainly is none of your concern.

Because nobody would believe her name was "Harvey". Of course, it's also possible that Six is a name in the colonies, or that the others' names aren't really their names, just their assumed identities, and Six doesn't have one. Sharon to them is just Eleven, say, but she pretends to be Sharon when necessary.

It is a bit strange: in the show (and by people watching the show) Cylon models are referred to by the names the first versions seen of each was using: Sharon/Boomer, Doral, Leoben and now Simon. Yet Tricia Helfer's only character name ever mentioned anywhere is Six (apart from her appearance as Shelley Godfrey) - I don't remember her being called anything by Baltar, whether a name or number. I suppose this is because we were meant to know right from the start she's a Cylon; but if so, why since then haven't they made any attempt to number any of the other known models? Not that it detracts from the show that they haven't, and besides if they did it'd probably end up getting cut for time like the merciful excising of Boxey!

A Battlestar Wikipedia? My life is complete. *puts gun to head and pulls trigger*
That's the dialogue I meant. Why are they removing her ovaries if she's meant to become a cylon incubator? They must be necessary because they're being tested prior to removal. Or would they just be used to re-stock an existing co-opted colonial woman already serving as an incubator?
And the dialogue implies moving her to another location. Why if they obviously have a full setup there?
But it also explains away the extra scar, that they were doing tests; yet I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere down the line it emerges that more had been done to her. . .

I got the impression that they were going to remove her reproductive organs and implant them in a Cylon. It was stated that they're comming at the sterility problem from several different angles.

Because nobody would believe her name was "Harvey". HA!
Not much to add this time, but I just wanted to point out that last episode, we finally got to see the redesigned Colonial shuttle created for the series. It looks very much like the original, but it's much smoother.
re Six: I've asked this before, but I don't recall the answer, if there was one: has anyone ever used that name in the show? Surely she had some believable cover name during the time she knew Baltar prior to the attack.

Perhaps Starbuck is the mother of all cylons after she rescues Adama and his Battlestar from the edge of an Event Horizon..... oh wait....

Perhaps Baltar, given his treatment of women, simply didn't remember 6's cover name. Or after a long history of cheating on the women he's with he's aquired the habit of not refering to them by name, a neat trick if you want to avoid accidently saying the wrong name in a moment of passion.
