For the life of me, I can’t settle on who I think is the last Cylon. I change my mind regularly, and it’s making me a little cukoo.

Welcome to the obsession, Yvonne. It’s just sooooo goooooooood.

Oh, and as for Cavil, I’m not sure why he’s so hardcore, too. Either he has something to hide, or he’s completely wired in on the programming that says they can never ever ever think of the final five. Probably the former…

yay, Yvonne! I’m so glad you’re caught up… Now you can obsess along with Erika and I.

I don’t think Zarek is, but maybe that’s just because he’s the original Apollo and I can’t fathom my beloved Richard Hatch being a Cylon.

And Erika, I agree with you. Honestly, Callie had been annoying me lately (and by that, I mean since the last quarter or so of last season), but she’s been such an integral part of the show from Day 1. It really is crushing that she went the way she did.

Tory. Is. Stone. Cold.

And Steph – I think that this has always been latent in Tory, but she’s embraced it now that she knows she’s not human. I can’t remember the specifics at the moment, but there were a couple of times, I believe, when she urged Roslin to do some pretty hard-core things; things Billy never would have backed her on. Wasn’t Tory the brains behind the idea to steal the election from Baltar?

Oh, I meant to say the cylons didn’t get rid of everything in their programming that makes their human counterparts Fallible (left this word out, sorry)

First of all, Hurray! I’m finally all caught up and actually got to watch the episode last night! Woot! Anyway, I did know that Callie was going to die when she found out the truth, but I never saw it going down the way it did…Tory definitely embraced her cylonism.

Speaking of cylons, this is getting interesting!!! Definitely some of the sixes and Sharons will survive, but I don’t remember seeing a Leoben anywhere else… IT’s wild how they are evolving as well and getting free will and what not. It appears they didn’t get rid of everything in their programming that made their human counterparts after all. Their perfect world isn’t so perfect and simple anymore, now is it? Crazy!!!

Personally, I think that Tom Zarek might be the fifth cylon.I’ve ruled out Starbuck & Baltar (they want us to believe it’s one of those two, so it’s not, IMO), Laura Roslin (only because of the cancer, but there are moments when I wonder. I still think she’s a possibility) and both William and Lee Adama. That doesn’t leave too many other possibilities…

I had no idea how much I like Callie until Tory airlocked her. Damn, that was cold. And damn you Battlestar for making me feel! I cried like a baby.

Such a great episode, as always! I didn’t expect to see the attack on the Cylons. I was about as surprised as Six! I just don’t get why Cavil is so against learning anything about the final five – unless his “line” somehow knows that it would uncover something about him that would be bad.

It’s weird how Tory has become so Cylon-cold. Was that always in her character, or has it really only come out now that she’s been “awakened”? The reason I ask is because Tigh had so much guilt about killing his wife. He didn’t do it as coldly as Tory did.

Intriguing.
