We finally appear to be moving away from New Caprica storylines and back toward the search for “Earth”. What’s up with the plague afflicting the Cylons? What are the next clues on the “road to Earth”. Just what is Lee’s new position? Is Dualla a Cylon? Is Gaeta gay? Do the Colonials know Baltar is a guest/prisoner/pet of the Cylons? Will we get to see more of how things are in the rest of the Fleet?
Ballast.
at least until he loses that fat suit.
Six learns that the GSP™ is a symptom of a social disease.
Glowing Spine of Passion.
I didn’t know there was a plague. Is that in the previews or something? Is it a spoiler? Is this thread all open spoilers?
Yes, along with Baltar asking Six
What, am I a Cylon but then he’s an idiot, and besides, Mr. Hilton didn’t write the back of the book. 
Hopefully it won’t take long. It looks so fake. Besides we need to see more Apollo skin to balance out all the 6/3/8 skin.
Think he’ll have stretch marks once he loses another stone or two?
I think they’ll just let people think he was young enough that he can fully recover from plumping up. Even though, realistically, he should probably keep that little roll of belly fat that’s so hard to get rid of.
In a universe with artificial gravity, teleporting jump drives, and indetectable Cylon skinjobs who have modems in their arms, it’d be the most absurd of quibbles.
I predict we’ll see at least three posts complaining about it in the episode thread where they have Jamie Bamber shirtless, sans fat suit, again.
Also: the virus thing is in the episode description DirecTV has available, and it’s been there all week. So I’d put it into the category of preview spoilers.
I do recall in the previews from last week or maybe the week before or some such, them mentioning a virus. Someone - I think Apollo - commented “we’re talking genocide.” I figured they were talking about a virus similar to the virus the Cylons used against the Colonial military network.
I didn’t realize there was going to be an actual plague. What a cheap way to even the odds between humans and Cylons.
I hope RDM’s not planning on making it an AIDS allegory.
Well I heard online that the Cylons intercept a beacon of some sort from EARTH that’s carrying the virus. Of course that raises a shit-load of questions. 
Hey, where’s Cervaise?
RDM is a bad man!
That shot of Boomerbot was purely gratuitous. He should be ashamed of himself. I am so very happy he decided to do it. 
I’ve come to believe that 6 really is an angel sent by “God”. And even the Cylons find Baltar’s habit of “talking to himself” weird. And Lee appears to be CAG again. His viper said “Major”, but it could just be because they haven’t repainted it yet. “Athena”, what an interesting choice for Sharon.
Is the Hybrid new model of Cylon instead of one of the 12 models?
The probe thingy in the infected BaseStar looked remarkably like the Nomad probe, looks like the Meatbags in that BaseStar were imperfect…
Mrs. Plant and I said, “Nomad!” at the same time.
What exactly does the Hybrid do? She doesn’t get a vote and the Cylons are in control of the baseship.
That was the best episode of the third season so far.
I’m glad the more we learn aobut the Cylon world, the less we understand about them.
Just a fantastic episode!
Eh. Although I liked lots of the little bits in this episode, it all added up to setting up the next episode.
Was not happy with the hybrid. We’ve seen that, on Doctor Who season 1, Ron. Try harder, next time. But it looks like the other 12 models don’t consider the hybrid one of the 5 missing models – the hybrid doesn’t get a vote.
The last bit with Kara and Saul was good – that gut-wrenchingly-bad sort of good.
I really really liked this episode. Starbuck appears to have squared her ass away, and for a minute there I thought Saul was going to put that pistol in his mouth. Although I love his character, I’ve got to say that doing that would have knocked everyone on their ass. I’m glad he didn’t, but I thought you could tell Moore at least toyed with the idea.
The probe is really fascinating: didn’t the fourteenth colony leave long before the Cylons even existed?
Can’t be; Six said they didn’t discuss those models and then proceeds to discuss her. I’m guessing a hybrid is part meatbag cylon, part mechanical. Maybe a harder and more intensive interface is required to run a basestar.
Maybe they boxed him.
