    >>they witness the destruction of their homeworld...then go gambling! <<

    Though still a little silly, I think there were some Siren connections there (again with the mythology), and there was some logic to going there given that everyone was starving and, though lost their home, suddenly have a planet habitated by humans much closer than a long lost planet like earth.

    Still, noe xcuse for Starbuck trying to recruit the alien singers to make some money ;)



    Anyone remember how many human Cylons the miniseries said were made? Might be something to keep track of, since 3 or 4 have already been killed.

    It never said how many, it just said how many models.

    I think there were six models... something like that. We've obviously only seen three in action so far.

    Weren't there only two killed so far? The one on that station, and the 6 on Caprica?

    I think that it means that there are 12 different Cylon people, with numbers of each one, or maybe more. We saw more than six in the space station at the end of the mini, there's a couple on galactica and there's going to be more on Craprica.

    Yeah, multiple copies of a few types. I just forget how many types the pilot episode said there were.

    There are 12.

    There's also a review of episodes 9, 10 and 11 on Filmforce: http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/579/579710p1.html

    1 was on the "peace station" at the minsieries intro from what i recall.

    Then there was the one on the station later in the minsieries.

    The 6 on Caprica in the last episode would be three.

    And, presumably, there was one on the Olympic.

    There was one killed there? I really do not recall that...

    Does Sci-Fi have any plans to air the pilot again? I really need to see it.

    As for the Olympic... there could have been one onboard, or a tracing bug or something just as easilly.

    Anybody else get the feelinbg that the Cylon's goal is to simply study the "human condition"? They could easilly whiped out the Galactica fleet if they had so wished in the remake. It's a only reason I can think of for allowing more than one Boomer model to show up, and to kill a #6.

    Testing the lab rats under stress conditions mayhaps.

    -P!-

    Doubtful.

    It was Six who was there, and she was destroyed with th station

    I don't think so. The DVD's out in stores now.

    Hehe. I only caught the first couple minutes of it before I had to leave, but it looked good.

    I got chills watching this episode, something that tends to happen when I'm watching something really good.

    I can't remember where I posted this, but someone was asking about the ammo, whether it was all lasers or lasers. In the commentary, it was said that it was bullets.

    Well I watched it all again and finaly picked up on the few things I missed. What a great show. Though I'm confused about Boomer. Which one is real or is there even a human one?

    I think they're both cylons, though the one on the ship doesn't know it.

    This is such a great new show. 6 is hot! The battle scenes are very intense and look real to me. Those cylon fighters make me drool everytime I see one they look so good.
