_Eight_ meatbag models, according to Blanders, not Seven, oh and Kara was _glowing_ just like the Final Four, hmmm… hint, hint, maybe?

Could Kara be a Meatbag?

and **Alpha** it kinda’ makes sense, if there were thirteen colonies (#13 being Cylon) then there should be a grand total of 13 Meatbag models…

Well, they better reveal who the 8th one is, then. I assume it is number 7?

They can’t start another “who is the final Cylon” thread again. I hope.

Shipwide micro-stress fractures, that’s definitely _Not Good_

Wonder if Adama will finally okay the Magical Cylon Jell-O to fix the hull, especially now that his quarters are coming apart?..

Aha, just as I thought, there’s _ALWAYS_ room for Magical Cylon Jell-O!
