I don’t think Cavill or anyone else can engineer a human-clone into a Cylon. The Five only seemed to be able to create eight new model Cylons- perhaps as the only eight viable recombinations of their own DNA? The breeding experiments on Caprica where Starbuck was briefly imprisioned suggest that the Cylons desperately tried to modify human genetic stock, but apparently to no avail. The hybrids seemed to be the best the Cylons could do. That’s why resurrection technology was so crucial: fertility problems seem to be a major limitation for meatbag Cylons.
Although I think that the fertility research part of The Plan would not have been John’s idea – he’s too much a wannabe-robot to think that meatbag fracking is a long-term goal for Cylons. (unless it’s mommy he’s fracking, of course.)
No doubt the DVD will have a deleted/extended scene including a grunt and splash sound effect as well.
Tuuuuuuurducken.
The more I hear about deleted scenes, the less I’m looking forward to the DVDs.
Next: You get to see Adama popping zits and flossing his teeth, with 3D mirror splatter! :eek:
And there’s this whole deleted episode where they get caught in the Maelstrom and enter a mirror universe where there’s this other Galactica with an Apollo who looks like Zarek and a Starbuck that’s a guy! And Starbuck and Starbuck meet and … well, you’ll just have to wait for the DVD.
frak it, why not? losing money is better than seeing Basestar Galactica. hic
Funniest thing I’ve read on here on a long time!

Oh, you buncha whiners. Just be thankful they didn’t toss that scene in back when the fleet had a paper shortage.
I saw the preview: they get in a fight over who has better hair.
I noticed that as the Eight was dying in sickbay, after she had said goodbye to Tigh, just as she was slipping away she said, “Too much confusion…”, which is a line from All Along The Watchtower.
Something’s definitely out there in that in-between place, and its communicating with them.
The final episode is going to end with a fade to black…
And then the lights come on in a bedroom. The covers are torn away to revel Bob Dylan waking from a fevered dream. He reaches over and wakes Emily to tell her about his dream.
Check out the episode number 
OMG, I totally missed that. Hilarious!
Which had a receiver picking up the emergency locator signal from her old Viper, which had been somehow moved from Maelstrom to Earth, which Starbuck 2.0 knew she had been to herself.
Is there a way to explain that without invoking the aid of some higher power?
A wizard did it.
No, wait…
Are you kidding? Everyone knows Starbuck is the best resurrector in the fleet!
Nuh-UH. Everyone knows that wizards can’t cast raise dead or resurrection.
A cleric did it.
And Starbuck is the best…no, by golly, Cavil is the best cleric in the fleet.
A wizard can cast Wish, which being ninth level can easily mimic the effects of a Resurrection.
As for the not being able to detect the Cylons with an MRI the obvious fanwank is that they have distributed light sensitive (and emitting, remember the orgasmic lightshows) cells in their nervous systems. They can interact with a fiber optic cable because they can detect the light pulses with those cells presumably with the large nerve trunks in their limbs. They control their starships by looking into lighted panels and sticking their hands into lighted pools.
As for uploading, at the moment of death all the cells tap their stored chemical power and blast a very high frequency omnidirectional em-burst that the sensitive antennas on the resurrection ships can detect.
None of that requires anything that would be detectable necessarily by an MRI.
