Besides, at the end of the episode Six pretty much said the same thing I did. I’m guessing that’s how they’re playing it. ---

RE: RE: Ms. Godfrey’s disappearance. Individual Cylons are disposable, they can just “beam” themselves into another body when they die. (Or at least, that’s what they believe–Carousel, anyone?) I think she served her purpose and then hopped out of an air lock. ---

Nah, the 2 Marines tailing her said she turned a corner and just disappeared. No airlock. I almost dread seeing the use they’ll eventually find for the Cylon fighter. Visions of Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum flying it into the basestar with the computer virus just keep dancing in my head. About damn time the Helo/BoomerBot plotline advanced a little, wouldn’tcha say? Gotta give us \*something \* to latch onto so we can speculate about the Cylons’ plans. ---

> [@RogueRacer](#): > > The cylons did throw away a model design (a very nice one I might add), but now their pet human (with leadership’s ear) is practically beyond reproach. The other thing the Cylons achieved with this caper was to eliminate any possibility that Baltar will _ever_ come clean with Adama & the President. Now that he’s seen how he will be treated if they find out he did have something to do with the Cylon attack (even though it was without his knowledge) and the fact that the President believes he is capable of such a thing (remember when she visited him in the brig), Number 6 owns him. ---

> [@msmith537](#): > > What are you? The Spoiler Police? WGAF? I give a fuck. With BSG, we’re dealing with three types of spoilers: 1. Spoilers from episodes already seen in the UK, where they’re several weeks ahead of the US. 2. Spoilers from the episode recently aired in the US. 3. Spoilers from websites and other media. #2 is dealt with in the subject line, where it says “(spoilers ho)”. Because of that, any unlabelled spoilers within the thread need to be treated as either #1 or #3. Would it really kill you to type: “This spoiler box contains information from last night’s episode”? Or, considering that there had been 40+ posts in this thread already detailing this episode, you could forgo the confusion and not use a spoiler box? One of these days we’re all going to be lulled into complacency with absolutely unnecessary spoiler boxes, and someone is going to post end-of-season spoiler info from the UK, and ruin it. And it’s going to be because of unneccessary spoiler boxes like yours that do it. Just sayin’. ---

I think that the whole point was to get Baltar to repent. Six left him because he dissed God. Almost immediately, another Six sets him up on a date with a blindfold. When he finally gets on his knees and gets religion, bam! he’s vindicated and Six returns to his well-appointed three-bed, two-bath cerebellum. ---

Buzzards thrive on carrion. 45000 people left; every single one of them should be working - real work. Not lawyers or journalists or telephone salespeople. This isn’t _Starship Titanic_. Everyone needs to become an apprentice and learn how to build things relevant to their survival. Anything else is idiocy. ---
