She wasn't wounded when she was looking for the baby, so that implies she killed herself and was resurrected. But in that case how come she didn't warn other cylons that Boomer was in the city?

Anyway. Yes, Galactica jumping into the atmosphere was pretty spectacular.

How do you know that it wasn't a different one that she shot?

Because the one that was shot mentions to Boomer her baby is alive, so she was the one that had the dream about finding the baby and then visited the old lady. The one at the end went back to the old lady's tent and also knew the baby was special when she saw Baltar pick her up. So that makes it seem like they were the same.

Well the Brother Cavel Cylon that Dean Stockwell plays off'd himself after he had been wounded in the breakout of the condemned prisoners. 'picked his carotid artery on a spent shell casing' or something like that.

 

[compuwiz1]

Wow. You guys are so with it, but my friends back then were so stoned.

 

[ohtwell]

Galactica jumping out right before it hit the ground was very swesome. When it was plummeting to the ground and all the Vipers were coming out, I wasn't sure how they were going to get out of it. Then they mentioned something about the FTL drive and I was like, WTF are they about to do?

That show gets better and better each week. It always leaves you wanting more.

That show gets :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[ohtwell]

Oh, and to those of you asking about Lucy Lawless. I thought that she might have killed herself and then come back. She didn't warn the others, because she was too concentrated on finding the baby. Just my feelings on it. Also, why don't you see the other Sharon during their escape. I know that she ends up on Galactica, but I was surprised that she wasn't show more in the escape scene.

[ohtwell]

Oh, and when are they going to show us some other Cylon models? I was sure that Casey was a Cylon, but I was wrong.

Actually, if you read an interview with the guys who play Helo and the Chief on Ain't It Cool News, they say that there are some Cylon models which have been retired (boxed?), and aren't used at all anymore. They made the rather good point that we've now seen Cylons without humans around, so why would they bother hiding who the others were? To have them show up later would be sort of a crutch in the story.

I count seven confirmed Humanoid Cylons:

3 Number Three/ D'Anna Biers - Lucy Lawless

5 Number Five / Aaron Doral - Matthew Bennett

6 Number Six / Shelley Godfrey/ Gina - Tricia Helfer

8 Number Eight / Lt Sharon Valerii / Boomer - Grace Park

#? Leoben Conoy - Callum Keith Rennie

#? Simon / Black Cylon doctor - Rick Worthy

#? Brother Cavil - Dean Stockwell


Plus two possible/future Cylons:

Hera, child of Sharon Valerii and Helo Agathon is the first Cylon/humid Hybrid

? Gaius Baltar - James Callis oh you just know he is. In the pilot Caprica Six is killed in the nuclear blast yet Baltar survived. I bet he is the failed Number One!

Maybe Balter is supposed to appear Cylon, then surprise us just like with Casey!

lots more info on the subject
But Hera would not be one of the 12 models since it was not exactly a frabricated model.

Which of course leaves 5 more models to yet be found in the fleet. Of course one of them almost certainly must be a big character like Roslin, or Starbuck or something just because it would make for some crazy drama. But I'm sure more Cylons will only be slowly revealed as to draw out the series for another 2 or 3 seasons.

EDIT: Number 2 / Brother Cavil - Dean Stockwell
According to Wiki his model number was revealed in the show's closed-captioning.

Yea, also from http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Cylon_agent: In deleted scenes from the episode "Downloaded", it is shown that Gaius Baltar attempts to steal the baby from Galactica in collusion with Gina(a Number Six) and D'anna Biers(a Number Three). When Biers refers to the baby as Hera, Gina tells her not to call the baby by the name of a Human god, and to call her "Number Thirteen".

Also check out Cylon agent speculation.

 

[everman]

I was wondering, are the Cylon Basestars manned by skinjobs or are they entirely bio-mechanical machines like the raiders? I'd guess that it's a mix?

 

[Coldkilla]

Consider that the cylons in the 4th episode were heading to their 'ship' b4 the bomb was supposed to go off.., chances are.. if they fly those zodiac ships.. they fly the momma ship too

Jaw Dropping Show.. Luv it

How many more seasons should we expect? From what I hear the original Battlestar Galactica TV series only was like two season and they found earth.

The original BSG ran only 1 season and 17 episodes (including the 3-part pilot and five 2-part episodes, for a total of 24 airings). It was extremely popular and the highest rated show of its time but still lost money due to record-high production costs (reportedly more than $1 million an episode in 1978-79).
After a year break, the low-budget sequel Galactica 1980 aired, but Greene (Adama) and Jefferson (Boomer) were the only original cast members to return, and the show's terrible acting and writing made CHiPs and Buck Rogers look like Oscar material, and it was promptly cancelled after 10 episodes.

So with 34 episodes already aired plus the 4-hour miniseries, the new BSG has already done better than the originals. I expect it to last at least 4 seasons. Losing money or not, it has high ratings, and is the only truly big show that SciFi has that can draw viewers from other networks and genres.

Despite my initial doubts going into season 3, I like what the writers pulled off here. The show has now been essentially reset to the beginning, and the storyline thus far has matched the original series quite closely, but with excellent added drama and developments. One thing you can say about the BSG writers: they're not afraid to kill off a character!!

***** SPOILER *****





How many Basestars did the Pegasus end up taking out? There was the one that was destroyed when the Pegasus appeared on the scene, there was the one that was destroyed in the collision with Pegasus, and on my second viewing on my big screen it looked like a third Basestar was taken out by the debris from Pegasus when it blew up.

 

[Kev]

The idea of Baltar being a Cylon doesn't make any sense. If he was a Cylon, why would they have to send 6 to trick him into giving them all the security info that let them nuke the humans in a surprise attack in the pilot miniseries?
