Any reason for saying that? That's a pretty flip response to a well reasoned theory. She looked a little like a cylon but I see no reason to think either head-six or Shelley were actual cylons at all unless you have a better point than that I am confused. Is the Baltar in Caprica's head also a real Cylon?

I love the U.S., but we need some time apart.

After watching the last two episodes, I'm kinda leaning toward the idea that BSG jumped the shark with the whole "algae planet" thingy.

He can be fixed -- you can't.

You mean because they had an algae planet, or just the past few episodes on the algae planet?

If BSG jumped the shark, I don't think it was with the Algae planet. I think it was skipping an entire year.
That said, I still enjoy the show.

Its too early to call "Shark" on the show. Seriously, it like calling the superbowl at halftime. Anything can happen.

Any show can jump the shark at any time. There isn't a minimum. Although I don't know that you can say a show jumps on the first episode. Shark jumping is going from being a good show to being a bad one.
Anyway, I'm still not certain that BSG has jumped, but it's feeling a little like it. It sort of was back during the "Roslin the Prohpet" days too.

The strange thing for me is first season was the best. That is pretty much unheard of for sci-fi.

Shocked me too. I'm surprised nobody brought it up until now. I just hope they don't bring him back again as a Cylon or something.

That was pretty cool, but the Zarek/Roslin scene was what really got to me. I didn't know you could do that with strawberries.

Yeah, but it's usually tough to tell when a show has jumped the shark except in hindsight.
Anyway, I'm still not certain that BSG has jumped, but it's feeling a little like it. It sort of was back during the "Roslin the Prohpet" days too.
There have definitely been times when BSG was in danger of jumping, but it's managed to recover. That's the kicker: when a show really jumps the shark, there's no going back.

Yeah, the show has definitely not jumped the shark, but it is guilty of frequently swimming under the shark. (or something)
It seems like whenever they stick to the main plot, the show is great... but whenever they have a self contained episode with some random plot element, it always is filled with groan inducing scenes.
At any rate, does anyone know how many episodes are left in season 3?
