Maybe one is a Boomerbot and one is Boomer.
Now that would be very interesting. Do the Cylons replace a human with a duplicate, and dispose of the human, or have these infiltrators always been Cylons? In that case, how long? Since childhood?

She told Balter she’d implanted a chip in his brain, containing her consciousness, and can communicate with him any time. Also, previews of upcoming episodes show her actually appearing corporeally, where the other humans can see her.
I don’t think there is a human Boomer. The Ceylons only have 12 models, it didn’t sound like they could wip up a new one to look like already existing Galactica personal at a moments notice, presumably the one that has served on Galactica was raised to think she was a human, but was Ceylon all the time. The one on Caprica is presumably a Ceylon of the same model pretending to be the Galactica Boomer to gain the confidence of the officer stranded there for neferious purposes. As for where they got the second shuttle, they ceylons had just conquered all of the human worlds, presumably they found an identical scout ship lying around after the dust had cleared.
Nitpick:
It wasn’t Starbuck who was speculating about “Why 33 minutes”, it was another female crewmember, whose name I don’t know.
Sorry, I didn’t make myself clear.
They were conserving water, (avoiding the showers; not washing hands, etc.) while there was the big, fracking hole in the tanks. I would assume they would start recycling water as soon as the hole were repaired.
Well, fixing the holes would not have been an instantaneous thing, and probably a bit of a trick in space. So, definitely they would have to conserve until the tanks were fixed. Plus, given the amount of water that was lost, there simply might not have been enough left in the tanks to accomodate bathing/showering and still have enough for everyone to drink. The water most likely would have to be collected in tanks prior to recycling, and the recycling process probably takes a certain amount of time. So water used for bathing purposes is water that may be unavailable for drinking for several hours or a day or so. Also, a certain amount of water is going to be lost to evaporation, and even if you minimize this by taking fracking cold showers so you don’t lose it as steam, multiply whatever fraction of an ounce that’s going to remain trapped in a person’s hair, wind up absorbed in the towel he/she dries off with, etc., multiply that by something in the neighborhood of fifty thousand people, then you’re talking about some serious water loss.
Why are you guys putting speculations in spoiler boxes?
Thank you! No reason why we can’t openly discuss how we think they handle water recycling/ship repairs.
Note to Canadians:
The Space channel is reshowing it today at 6:00 EST (at least in my, Ottawa, region). I’ll probably rewatch to get the nuances. This isn’t the first time they’ve showed episode 101 though is it? Didn’t they show it after the last time they showed the tv-movie premier?
You know I’m not much of a patritotic guy but when I see Six was born in Alberta and Boomer got her start on the CBC, my “heart” swells with “pride”. 
But I note it’s being filmed mainly in Vancouver (though obviously mainly soundstage) so no surprise they went with local hot babes, Olmos is the name recognition.
I know this is a hijack and I’m sorry, but I missed the mini-series when it first debuted on scifi. And today I missed it again. Does anybody know when next it’ll be on, I can’t seem to find it on the schedule.
Or, would it be out at Blockbuster yet?
Oh, and, I grew up on Babylon 5, this show is absolutely hands down superior. I love the visuals and the acting, and I am definitely considering picking the whole thing up on DVD once I’ve got some free cash.
It ain’t my heart that’s swelling. But I’m proud of it nonetheless. 6 is my new favorite number. 
I would imagine that it takes them exactly 33 minutes to fix on their position. Being machines, it is always the same amount of time.
The question is why can’t there be more than a dozen different models? I can imagine over a dozen variations of just the metal Cylons for various purposes. They can’t they have 100 different #6s or Boomers with slightly different hair or coloring or noses?
Evaporate to where? The ship is a closed system-even water that evaporates into its internal atmosphere would be able to be eventually collected. (Probably big dehumidifiers in the ventilation systems.)
Maybe 12 is a mystical number for the Cylons? I’m sure there a plot twist coming down the pike that involves this.
That’s what bugged me. Obviously the Galatica is very much the equilvent of a late 20th century US Aircraft Carrier(but with more guns and an FTL drive). But isn’t it standred procedure in Navies to have at least 2 shifts to avoid that sort of burn out?
And another thing…when “33” starts, apparently they’ve been without sleep for 130 or so hours and then Adama orders them to be put on Stimulents. If that’s so, exactly HOW have they been staying awake for this long? Even with Stimulents it’s going to be rather tough to stay awake that long.
Have they ever explained why a FTL ship has chairs and lamps that look like they were taken from a 1960’s classroom?
And what’s with smoking, books and wearing glasses?
Even (ahem) Star Trek and left those behind unless you were allergic to Retinox ™
I’m kind of glad. The last thing I want this thing to be like is “Star Trek”.
And I’d take a book over a stupid little PADD anyday.
The only thing that seems wierd is the smoking, since I don’t think you’re allowed to smoke in the US military.
But then again, maybe Adama won’t let the “TRUTH” kids on his ship, and they figure that fighter pilots are much more likely to die in combat then from lung cancer.
In the thousand years or so in the future (time enough for Earth to be a fairy tale) I’d expect E-Books to win out over paper. Maybe they’ve cured cancer, but it seems as though laser surgery or implanted contacts or cloned eyeballs or fetal tissue would have replaced glasses.
