    The cylons know that the humans created them and have reminded Adam & El Presidente fairly often.

    Could it be the cylon God decided to mirror humanity int he number of models it created. Knowing that it couldn't create a race through procreation (as stated in the mini series/1st series) it would seem an reasonable idea to create a limited number of models..... 12 as our human creators have 12 colonies.

    Also, it might be an idea to start to think where each model has said that they are from? If this theory is correct then the chances are they programmed each model to think its from a different colony.

    Pfffft!

    I told you that a year ago.

    As it happens, that idea was boxed/cut and the actor doesn't have a contract with BSG this season (and no word on it for next).

    That leaves alot of loose strings on Galactica regarding S1 and incidences with Sharon.

    Personally, I thought the idea was a bit weak so I'm glad they left it.

    Well actually i was thinking about it, it would make for an excellent story arch if the model was finally captured...
    how would you ever justify torturing/interrogating a child.

    A great moral dilemma all round TBH.

    Do you actually remember the Boxy kid character?

    Bloody annoying little sprog, you'd have to hold me back with the hot irons.....

    I wonder is the website based on the South park episode or vica versa.

    Yup I so agree.

    As to what happens when they get to earth. All fans of the original series know the answer to this. The chief is working on flying motorbikes as we speak.

    As the baby was born in this episode, you might be interested to see the now famous "Baby Spot" promo which aired on Sci-Fi.

    It starts out so innocently with that soothing voiceover... :D

    With regard to Baltar and Six being in each other head... Here is my Theory:

    -They are both Cylons (as i have always maintained! - there is no way Baltar could have survived that Nuke, especially if it killed Six - even if she did try toi shield him, he would have been lacerated by the glass etc)

    -Both are killed by the Nuke at Baltars Lakeside home

    -During the Upload and subsequent download of both the consciences they get mixed up and each gets part of the others conscience...

    -Hence the mix up in both models

    -Baltar is No.1, The "Father" of the new generation of Cylons, ie Sharon and Sixes generation...

    Plausible? Yes..
    Likely? Yes!

    I like the sound of your idea geecee but why would Six go back to Baltar's to tell him that she's a Cylon and he's helped to bring about the destruction of his entire race. Also why would she even need to be there? I mean surely Baltar as a Cylon could insert the virus that disabled the military without needing Six?

    As for the Nuke, I could see him surviving. After all it was just the rush of wind that shoock the building as opposed to it being the fireball, etc. With Six standing infront of him it's possible she took the brunt of it leaving him only injured.

    I like the theory but it would raise too many questions to sit comfortably methinks.

    Pretty good theory geecee. Not sure if you are right, but it's a good theory.

    Terrific episode.

    Nearly fell off the chair when Baltar appeared on Caprica. Cool idea to have him in Six's head just like she is in his head.

    A return to form after a couple of so-so episodes.
