Both of you have demonstrated most excellent wanking. 🙂 Even if that doesn’t turn out to be the explanation, it certainly should be. ---

[QUOTE=Merijeek] Now that Anders is (presumably) awakened, we seen him unable to kill a Raider. [/QUOTE] Just to be fair, Anders is a Nugget who couldn’t find his own penis with a sign pointing to it, when it comes to shooting things in a Viper. ---

What are we to make of the Battlestar [Last Supper](http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20169703,00.html)? The missing person at the table is probably the Final One, and would be sitting in the empty space where Peter stood in the original. Peter, as in “Upon this rock…” Just how symbolism-happy is Moore, anyway? 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Merijeek] And apart from that being his first combat flight your evidence for that would be…? [/QUOTE] Uh, further evidence is needed? Uh, it’s 4.4 because there’s some discussion on the innernets as to where _Razor_ fits in the season, as some consider it two episodes of this season. ---

[QUOTE=silenus] What are we to make of the Battlestar [Last Supper](http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20169703,00.html)? The missing person at the table is probably the Final One, and would be sitting in the empty space where Peter stood in the original. Peter, as in “Upon this rock…” Just how symbolism-happy is Moore, anyway? 😃 [/QUOTE] According to my calculations, and based on the DaVinci version of the Last Supper, the empty place at the table would be filled by Judas Iscariot… Roslin = Bartholomew Natalie 6 = James the Lesser Tigh = Andrew ? = Judas Lee = Peter Baltar = John the Evangelist Caprica 6 = Jesus Starbuck = Thomas Anders = James the Greater Tyrol = Philip Sharon = Matthew Helo = Jude Bill Adama = Simon It’s definitely Peter, then John, then Jesus. I’m not sure how deep the symbolism goes nor how strong the real corespondence is here between each character and the apostle in whose position they are. Probably not very strong. Baltar as John to Six’s Jesus works well. Lee as Peter could also work depending on where they go with him this season. The rest of it, I’m not well-versed enough to say. So who would fill the role of the Judas most aptly if s/he were revealed to be a Cylon? Moore said that he “inadvertantly” revealed that the Final One is not in the picture. I really can’t venture a guess at this point. ---

[QUOTE=Charlie Tan] Fairy Of Misdirection\*? I saw that scene too, and while it hints that the Raider held back [del][for some unknown reason][/del] to save a fellow toaster, there is still no hard evidence that Anders is, in fact, a Cylon. Looking back through the seasons, it’s quite obvious that RDM uses the FOM frequently to build suspense and drama. Four Cylon haters hearing some music and winding up in the same place saying - wups, we gotta be toasters - is not enough proof. It’s only circumstantial \*FOM [/QUOTE] I’m going to accept the fact that Ander’s iris flashed red as concrete evidence that he’s a cylon. I agree, the raider’s behavior is at best circumstantial, but I’m considering this a callback to the GSP, and solid proof that he’s a cylon. ---

[QUOTE=levdrakon] Regarding the Centurions, one thing I thought was (hopefully a deliberate) nice touch was the way they kept looking to Six almost like a parent figure. Sure, they very recently got a higher level of sentience and free will, but they were still looking to Six in a sort of “is this okay mommy?” way. [/QUOTE] That’s reading a lot into a metal face created by CGI. But I read it as “Are you \*sure \* we want to do this?” BTW, **Cervaise** , I’m sure you’re right about CapSix saying “Please”, since I only watched it once. But the preview did get across the point that the Sentiurions are no longer commandable. The number of the counting shall be Five because all the meatbags know there are five left, even if they don’t talk about it. Way back in Season 1, Six even told Baltar there were 12 models total. They could all be wrong, though. I thought the red dot in Anders’ eye was just a reflection of the Raider’s scanner. The Four have always checked out as human, not even with spine lights. Which character in the Last Supper photo is really Mary Magdalene? 😃 ---
