All this assumes all human Cylons are OEM and not clones of real humans.

What if he was just replaced with a Cylon?

I can't believe boomer has really been around that long.

12 Tribes is a Jewish theme.

I'm from the Tribe of Benjamin.

I'm not sure if you were trying to contradict me, bstone, but I do know the "12 tribes" is a reference to Israel. However, Mormonism likes to coopt as much Jewish doctrine as it can. You can tell it was the Mormon version at work here because (besides the entire series obviously being patterned around the religion) there was a lost 13th tribe, which is much more of a Mormon theme than a Jewish theme.

Point taken and understood.

bstone out.

So I guess the one person we are 100% sure is not a cylon is StarBuck as they are trying to breed her. I wonder why they new her name and why she is so special though?

Also The president isn't because she has cancer.

The thing that puzzles me is how they can encounter a cylon party on the planet, fight them, beat them and that's the end of it. You would think they have communications in them so the second they start shooting at rebels about 100 raiders swoop down and end it.

Probably because some of their agents on Galactica (and possibly on Caprica before that) have met her?

Probably b/c all Boomers have access to the Galatica's Boomer's memories. I think that's been made pretty clear several times on the show. The Cylons know all of the series' principals.

[Scandalous Ion Cannon]

If the new Boomer end up on Galactica and truly defects she should give away who every cylon is. If not they better have a good excuse.

[Chuckit]

She'll probably get shot like everybody else on this show.

Looks like this week's ep is going to kick ass. The Farm was such a great episode and answered a lot of questions.

The home basestar was probably the one that got nuked by Racetrack and Boomer.

I'm just now listening to the podcast, and they both hint that Helo is a Cylon, too.

What do you think? Where they just screwing with us?

I thought it was hard to tell... they seemed to get a chuckle out of the idea on the podcast.

[chabig]

I think they were joking. What Cylon purpose would it serve for Helo and Sharon to pretend to be parents?

I NEED INTERNET AT HOME! ARG!!!!!! The only downside to being in Japan is not having an internet connection at home so I can download the new Battlestar eps. Curse you Japan.

Well I'm assuming that their ultimate goal is for cylon reproduction, but they think without love they're incapable of reproduction. It wouldn't matter if helo/sharon didn't know if they were cylons, and it may have been planned for the original boomer to hook up with helo instead of galen. If neither of them knew, then there would have been a greater chance for them to fall for each other in normal human fashion, but Boomer obviously has some flaws. I'm sure that they'd prefer direct cylon/cylon reproduction than cylon/human reproduction although apparently the two are biologically interchangeable.

On a side note, I see lots of kids born to single mothers where love was never part of the equation. I suppose that the cylons entrenched in their religous philsophies could overlook logic in favor of their "love" answer, but if boomer pops out a baby cylon, I want a damn good reason for why it worked.
