Souldaddy, I suggest you slap yourself awake, read the title of this thread and than maybe Elysia's post again, than immediately delete your post. I mean really, it's beyond ridiculous.

It's hard to say. It's entirely possible that the writers haven't even decided yet and are leaving it open, which they often do, based on what I've heard from the commentaries/podcasts. Cally has always been a sort of secondary supporting character but they keep her involved in many of the more important events which means it's certainly possible. I wonder if we'll get any exploration of her character in the next season.

Based on information given in the first season, I'm not sure you can tell if she's a Cylon or not. I think what Number Six meant, however, is that Gaius was going to betray the group (which he did, since he shot whatshisface, and that, too, essentially stopped the plan from going forward). We'll never know if Cally would have gone through with her orders eventually, or whether Whatshisface would have shot her and assigned her orders to someone else, making the plan still go through, but in the end, I think it was Gaius who was probably being referenced.

Of course, you bring up a *really* good point, that in the end, it really was Cally who was the motivating force to stop the mission. And she really doesn't have much of a backstory yet, although you do find out more about her later (but then again, Sharon also had a backstory too). And I've noticed that all of the Cylons seem to be, in some way, connected with love; from what I've seen, I think Cally's got it bad for the Chief (though, of course, do you really think he's going to go for her now, now that she's shot the love of his life?). Maybe Cally is a Cylon? I don't know.

The best part about this series is pointing at the TV and shrieking "CYLON!" at perfectly harmless supporting cast members. Because, well, you never know.

You didn't miss much Warlock. He posted spoilers for the rest of season 2 without realizing that Elysia is only 4 episodes in to the season.

No. The best part is when you shout CYLON at a cast member and turn out to be right!

Those rules are like, already a little broken.

My understanding is that they are cloned but have some synthetic bits.

S2 Spoiler: Isn't Cavil fairly old? I really don't think age should be a rule. Especially when we all know that Adama is a cyclon

It may not be that they are hard to detect, but that Baltar 'can't detet them. He was the one heading up the project. Maybe if another team was on it they would have figured out a way.

On the other hand, military implies a somewhat rigid health and background inspection so it may be unsetectable through any normal means.

I can't wait to see what you think of the Baltar character at the end of this season, Elysi.

What I meant is that he made the higher ups think he could not detect them. This in turn made the people thing they were 'undetectable.' If a different group without his problems were on it, they may have figured something out.

Yes, it's hard for us to pretend not to have knowledge we have.

She is totally a Leo. Boomer is a Cancer.

Recently revealed cylon(s), if any actually appear on the show:

Figured I'd start here instead of making my own thread. I finally got around to watching Battlestar, and I loved it. It's definitely the best sci-fi on tv right now. But there were a few nitpicks I had with the series. One is kind of mentioned above in the wiki entry.

Where are all the twins? Even assuming statistics can't really be relied upon and considering the random chance of the originally 50,000 survivors, there should have been anywhere from a couple hundred to 1,000 twins. When the whole "Cylons look like us now!" hysteria hit the fan, I thought it would at least receive a tiny mention somewhere.

And I didn't get the chance to go back and see if these episodes were all written by the same person, but for awhile I was tired of how many "flashback" episodes there were. Step 1: A person is about to die. Step 2: Episode zig-zags back and forth between now and then until you reach point of death. Step 3: Person is saved. If I wanted a story that formulaic I'd flip the channel over to "House".

And the NYPD Blue "shaky-cam" gets obnoxious at certain moments.

The way everyone falls in love with everyone else has a very soap opera (space opera?) feel to it. And you always know how they're going to resolve a love triangle because...they kill someone.

And if you consider Cylon's robots, then the use of the Cylon-Human baby blood to cure the President's cancer was a literal Deus ex Machina. I wonder if that was an inside joke. I don't mean this in a bloodthirsty way, but I kind of wanted her to die. It just seems pointless when people throw in this "I'm dying" aspect to a story and then just bulldoze over it. Plus, if it's that powerful, you'd think there'd be a baby farm or something. I mean, they're going to consider killing it because it's not human but not using it to cure every disease known to man?

I like how the religious aspects aren't really downplayed or even removed from the show. It seems like that takes guts nowadays. Though I also think it's funny the good guys are heretic Greeks and the bad guys are born again Christians. At least on the surface.

I briefly lost interest when I realized they weren't going to find Earth by the time the season ended. I was extremely curious to see if it would turn out there were no people there, or it would be our Earth present day, roped into a galactic war, or any number of things. I wonder if they'll ever reach it?

Anyway, I love the show. I need my webisodes. End rant. I did have a question though. What's the deal with 6's and Baltar's weird mind connection? Obviously it's not actually Baltar or 6 speaking in the other's head, but they seem perfect recreations of how they'd actually react. I'd vote against the Baltar as a Cylon idea, because if he was, there'd be no point to having 6 seduce him.
