I wish the Cylons’ model numbering system made more sense. We’ve got Three, Five, Six and Eight. Leoben, Cavil and Simon are unknown. The fact that Boomer is an Eight seems to imply the Cylons we’re now referring to as the “final five” were created after the Eight model.

Thing One and Thing Two might have been failed prototypes, making the five Nos. 9 thru 13.
The Eights are the ones who’ve disobeyed orders, lost their grip on reality, and even actually produced a traitor, but no, instead they have to box the type whose actress has a big contract. Not the Eights.

But the 8s are also the only model to bear children.

Perhaps it refers to some sort of sporting event.

Just wait 'til everyone starts shortening it to “F5.” I won’t know if I’m in a Battlestar thread or a Survivor thread.

yes the “i’m sorry” remark means the Mystery Toaster that D’anna (why do i always want to type “Deanna” there, i’m sensing much confusion, captain…) saw had to have been someone she was hostile to
hmm, Roslyn is a possibility, Starbuck, vaguely, making it Baltar would be too easy and too much of a cop-out
hey, how about Blanders, she did try to knock him out with a chunk of the street back on Caprica…
“Bad Toaster…hit Blanders…with street!” (good luck figuring out that paraphrased obscure quote )
Making Blanders (name sounds remarkably like “blender”, another appliance, or “Bender” a known antisocial robot with the desire to Kill All Humans…) a Toaster gives TPTB another way to mind-frell…err, sorry, make that mind frak Kara…
[/QUOTE]
Which one is Blanders? I think you’ve got the key, though. Who would she need to apologize to? Did she have much to do wtih Starbuck’s imprisonment. Or Tigh’s? Didn’t she have a really weird look on her face when she heard that the temple was 4k years old? Was it an “Am I a Cylon” look?
I think I asked this last season, but I’m still confused about the hybrids. What are the hybrids of? Do the writers ever explain that?
[QUOTE=MacTech]
Well, i watched the rerun of last night’s episode, and unless TPTB are mind-frakking us again, it appears that, according to next week’s preview that
Baltar is a Toaster, it shows him being tortur…errr…“interrogated” onboard Galactica, then suddenly waking up gasping in a Goocuzi™
sort of a cop-out if you ask me, if it turns out to be true
they REALLY need to fire the preview staff, they’ve spoiled a lot of “cliffhanger” endings recently
[/QUOTE]
Well, that would suck because in order for B to wake up in goo the Cylons would have to be carrying around spare bodies. If they’ve got spare bodies for the F5 what’s the big mystery about D’Anna trying to see what they look like? Maybe it’s just healing goo and not resurrection goo.
[spoiler]which lends credence to the theory that TPTB are simply making it up as they go along, and unlike the Toasters, they have no plan…
besides, the gasp Balty lets out was the startled, panicked gasp of a resurrected Cylon who had just regained conciousness and found themselves in a “Tub-O’-Snot™” brand Goocuzi… (okay, i admit it, i just wanted to refer to the Goocuzi™ as a “Tub-O-Snot” )
…and is it just me, or does the goo in the Goocuzi™ bear more than a passing resemblance to Ectoplasmic Residue?, i’d imagine there are outtakes somewhere where the actor in the Goocuzi™ looks at the camera and states “He slimed me…”, or moans out “Braaaaiiiinnns!!!” [/SPOILER]

The Tick
Did anyone else think the mystery toaster was taller than D’anna? That would considerably narrow the field.
The idea that Baltar is dreaming seems pretty obvious to me. It might be an idea to wait a week before whipping out “they suck! they’re making it up as they go!”.
[QUOTE=carnivorousplant]
I don’t think they fellate, but I gather from the pod casts they are making it up as they go along.
[/QUOTE]
I gather they have a general arc for the big stuff (IE - what the Cylons want, how it will end, and the road to Earth) but the smaller stories are made up as they go along.
