Gaius Baltar, the leader in Artificial Intelligence, has inadvertently betrayed humanity by allowing a Cylon agent into the defence network rendering it, and all of their military forces impotent in the face of the Cylon attacks. During his time with this agent, it has implanted a chip into his brain allowing it to speak to him, and continue to torment him. Over the season Baltar falls in love with the Cylon eventually betraying humanity again and again

Emm i dont remember this part, i remember 6 saying she put a chip in his head but there was no proof he got a "cat" scan and there was nothing there and didnt six confirm it - that she wasent a chip?

She is supposed to be a mystery just like baltar in six`s head is a mystery so she put a chip in her head and baltars head so they could sub-concoincusly commune? - Mabe but i had always felt that they where implying that there is some religous symbelence in the head baltar and head six, mabe its god acting though both of them?

also wasent he always in love with her?
also i find it interesting that TV.com refers to cylons as "it"
I always say him or her when discussing cylons

sry for spelling mistakes i cant spell and im in work with no firefox 2.0

The Doc on galactica did a brain scan on Baltar at Baltars request, found nothing. I'd presume it was season 1 but can't remember.

Em, if detecting Cylon chips and/or tech was that easy surely they could just stick everyone through an MRI scan and spot the cylons in the fleet.

The other thing that occured to me was that in the pilot or first episode we see Baltar and 6 getting it on and her spine glows red. This is a bit of a give away for the cylons. If humanity needs someone to go around shagging all the lovely ladies on BSG, um... I'll take one for the team! (for the sake of humanity and all, you understand).

On a serious point, if her spine glowed like that, what made it glow and why cant they detect that in the spies? Why have they not been running comparative physiology tests on their cylon prisoners... I think that would have been my first order of the day as admiral!

Finally has anyone considered that every single human is now again under suspicion as they have mingled with cylons extensively for the first time since Earth and some may well have been replaced with dopplegangers! Tigh could easily be a replacement for example and we'd trust him because his former self showed loyalty.... just a thought...

Couldn't have put it better myself

i don't think so because there is only 12 cylons just as there was only 12 colonies - there is a raisin for this
there is a mythical 13th colony - Earth, im betting at the end of it all they reach earth being chased by many baseships they arrive in earth orbit to there complete shock (of both the humans and the cylons chasing them) that earth is inhabited by both cylons and humans

The production team have said that the glowing spine thing was just a nice effect that they put in the miniseries, and decided not to carry on afterwards.

Ron Moore has said that the 12 cylon models are not duplicates of real humans. There may well stll be Cylons in the fleet, though.

User45701

ye but someone we thought was a real human may well be a cylon

DeVore

It would rule Tigh out though since Adama knows him from years back. It still means that the others could be cylons though...

Someone mentioned on another thread that it's time the writers killed a main character rather than keep killing off "Redshirts", and I can see them doing that with Tigh. So i would rule him out of being a Cyon as well.

I don't think any of the main, main characters - Roslin / Adama / Lee / Starbuck / Baltar - will bite the dust or are Cylons.

But I can see one of the second tier main characters - Tigh / Helo / C. Boomer / Gaeta / Dualla / Tyrol / Cally - being killed off.

Out of that second tier, as i said, I think Tigh could well be the one killed off as he's already on a slippery slope into oblivion. So that might rule him out of being a Cylon.

C. Boomer is a Cylon and Helo is almost definitely not one. So that leaves Gaeta, Dualla, Tyrol and Cally. And for varying reasons I think Dualla is a Cylon

BSG never does what u think it will do, i could well see them killing off a main character at the end of the season or if not killing one off at least cylonnating one of them

The two most important (as in most seen) Cylons so far are female - Boomer and Six. If they reveal another member of the crew my moneys on it being a bloke.

Hold on for a second the cylons are based on unity and order right?

Males

Dean Stockwell
Leoban
Dorrel
Simon (black guy)

Females

Lucy Lawless (Three)
Six
Sharren/Boomer (Eight)

im guessing there will be 6 males 6 females so its quite possible the next cylon will be female and i got a weird feeling while watching skar last nite that it might be Cat.... i know they aready did the whole pilot is a cylon thing but i dont know why i got that feeling.

If its male my money is on someone dead so im gona go for either Billy or (cant remember his name The enginer/later commander of pegasus)

Then again the next cylon model may well be a child....

Dont forget that one of the Brother Cahels (Dean stockwell) was "the one in charge" according to Ellen Tigh

Vokes

There doesn't necessarily have to be 6 males / females. There could well be more females than males.

A bloke would be much more difficult to pick out

Perhaps Gaeta or Zarek.

I don't see it being Zarek because he was in prison for almost 30 years so i doubt the cylons had infiltrated the colonies with human models 30 years ago also do cylon humans age?

I don't want it to be Geata but it could well be but remember at the end of season 1 everyone was convinced that he was the one who gave boomer the pistol to shoot Adama with, the camera even panned down and showed there "hand shake" but i don't think he is a cylon anymore.

Im not saying its defiantly 6 male 6 female but even Six said it we are a culture based on unity? and i know if i was say for example a scientist here on earth working on genetic modification my first test embryos would be 50% male 50% female

Goodshape

Even if it is six of each sex, there's still room for two more males. I just think that the three female models are seen quite a bit more than any of the males.

Overheal

Dont assume it will be someone we've met before; the black dude and the preacher, and Lucy spring to mind as Cylons introduced (pretty much) as cylons.

Though I do remember going ape**** in my chair in that episode in season 2 where you see it from 6's POV: and you see baltar lean over here after she wakes up..that was CRAYzeee

User45701

Ye i suppose but if you think of it

Gina ? / Six
Three
Eight
leoban
Cahel
Micheal
Dorral

they where ALL introduced to us and in all cases in the very episode we 1st saw them or the episode after we found out they where cylons its about time we had a cylon reveled to us that we didnt know was a cylon
