Battlestar Galactica: Guess What’s Coming to Dinner

Wowwowwowwow.
Of course, Baltar knows all about Roslin’s dreams that she shares because he’s in them, too. He has them; remember back on Kobol? He was the first to have the opera house dream, shared with a Six. Before Hera was born; long before; and Hera was in it, too.
Hera is a key to something, but to what I can’t figure.
OK, I’m jumping all over the place, so let me do one thing at a time:
Roslin
I wondered when she’d either learn that Tori was shtupping Baltar or admit to knowing it. I mean, Tori hasn’t been extremely discreet. She may have started out that way, but she visits Baltar a bit too much. They’re on a spaceship, not in a wide-open city. You can’t keep those secrets forever.
Roslin’s a real badass, too. She knows how to play hardball. She knows what she needs to know and makes sure she knows EVERYTHING she needs to know.
Wondered why it took so long for her to realize Baltar knew about the visions because he had them, too (at least, that’s what I believe to be true). That’s why she took him to visit the hybrid. There already are Sixes and Eights on the wounded base star, so she didn’t need to bring them.
She, however, is the one who’s going to figure out what the opera house means. So says the hybrid.
Sixes and Eights — and Hera
We already know there’s bad blood between the Sixes and Eights on the base star. The Eights were ready to revolt against the Sixes when Sharon and Starbuck showed up. And Sharon is so determined to be human that she can’t stand any Cylons. And now, in the visions, she believes the Six wants to take Hera away and like any mom, she won’t — can’t — let that happen.
The Six named Natalie, though, is a fascinating creature.
She is ready to lay all the cards on the table. She wants to tell all the truth to the Colonials, antithetical to everything a Cylon is. The Eights, of course, are wholly against it. Leoben, as usual, can see the middle way and will make sure the Centurions don’t attack the humans.
Back on Kobol, Head Six told Baltar that this hybrid was their child — hers and Baltar’s. She’s told him that many times since. How and why is this true? Will this cause the ultimate schism among the Cylons?
The hidden Cylons
Why is it that only the Raiders have recognized the Hidden Four? Is the programming of the first seven models so intense (and why is it so?) that they can only just vaguely sense their presence but can’t recognize them when they’re standing in front of them?
Do the Centurions recognize the Hidden Four? Can they?
Why is there no model Seven among the original Seven? (I’m going to ask this EVERY week until I find the answer.)
Is Felix Gaeta’s constant singing a red herring? Is he truly the final Cylon or are Moore & Eick trying to throw us off the scent? I don’t suppose we’ll know for sure until they decide to tell us.
How did Tigh tell that the injured base star wasn’t a danger? Did it somehow communicate with him? Did he just sense it? Does Adama buy his explanation that it was just luck? Now that they know the Final Five are in the fleet, will Adama start to suspect his XO?
The hybrid
Did the Leoben and Sharon know the hybrid would jump the ship as soon as she was connected?
What caused her to order the jump? Was it Roslin’s presence? Baltar’s presence? The reconnection, and thus sensing danger? All of the above, and more?
Do we really have to wait two weeks for the next episode? Sigh.
Be sure to come back Tuesday for So Say We All: The Battlestar Galactica Blog Carnival.

I started off my post with the exact same word. I’m wondering if the Raiders could sense the Five because they are in constant communication with the Hybrid of their Baseship. It’s the Hybrids who know the identities of the Five.
M – That’s an excellent thought. I bet you’re right. The question remains, however: do the centurions know?
