So how could one see these new Cylons in the temple? Is there a god in Battlestar Galactica series?

Talk about deus ex machina heh.

Perhaps New Caprica already gets that roll.

I thought Razor established that the first hybrid was the Cylon God. He's dead now though but I am sure he resurrected somehow somewhere.

What I don't get is why the cylons think God created humanity.

Nope, if you remember in Razor during the first Cylon was (45 years ago) the war ended when they first Hybrid was created and the Cylons made a run for it and hid for what everyone thought was 45 years.

In actuality they could have made the next Hybrid 2.0 the next day and planted them on the colonies so technically anyone who has been around in 45 years could be a Cylon. If they look older than 45 like the Kernel they could have just been born/introduced already at an older age.

Boomer had memories of growing up and the records showed that her family was all killed in a fire 4 years ago. We are only assuming that they skinjobs have only been on the colonies for 4 years based on that when they could have been up to more on the colonies for the past 45 years.

IIRC, only Lucy Lawless saw any new Cylons in the temple, and she was pretty far down the crazy hole at that point. Even plain old humans are adept at seeing what they expect to see, and seeing patterns where none exist. Add in that her internal consciousness was fighting her "programming" to not think about the final 5, and then there's any number of ways to explain what she thought she saw, accurate or not.

By the sounds of it from the prequel Caprica Cylons started off in HUMAN form not tin cans. Hmmm, the Final 5 are starting to make more sense.

What bothers me most is the numbering. We know that numbers 3, 5, 6 and 8 are among the original 7, which means the final 5 can't be the "first" 5 in series nor the last, nor the evens or odds. WTF? I'm hoping the name of this week's episode means it will shed some light, but I don't expect it will

Why is it that pretty much everyone but you two are able to follow along with the story just fine? Where are you guys confused?

That's hilarious! Explain it to me and whoever the other guy is that doesn't understand everything please, smart azz. And how do you know how Thai's name is spelled anyway? Did you read his nametag? Do you memorize the credits? If you want to know where I'm confused read the last 83 pages. I've seen every episode in order (including the original series) and I have no idea what's going on. Who's the imaginary chick that Baltar is always talking to?

She's a mental projection of the original Six that Baltar was sleeping with back on Caprica. Obviously she isn't actually the same character, since that Six has been reincarnated and is clearly not living in his head. Beyond the fact that she's a hot chick who lives in Baltar's head and seems to have a purpose for him, we don't really know exactly who or what she is.

Caprica Six (the physical one Baltar was with) also sees an imaginary Baltar who serves basically the same purpose.

Not to mention some sort of head leoben with Starbuck.

Actually I'm pretty sure he's Psaul Thai. It's in the latest podcast.

The same purpose? The imaginary 6 is clearly what she says, and angel from God steering him to pit the Cylons and humans to fight eachother with nobody ever winning at least until they get to Earth. Like a rooster fight between man and technology. Is that what the imaginary Baltar is doing too?

So as a last hurrah for BSG on HD DVD, I ordered it again today.

At US$70 for the set, the audio sync issue on the miniseries was a deal killer. However, I've ordered it for about half that price (shipped).

The AUS version has more traditional packaging, not that odd one with the North American version. I don't really care either way about the packaging, but some people didn't like the wonky US packaging.

I just ordered the UK set from dvd.co.uk. I had ordered the AU set from ezdvd, but after thinking about it I realized how much I didn't like the thought of a great big Rating label being on the front cover. And the UK cover is nicer looking anyways so I dropped a few bucks more on it.

The AU set was $31.66 + $9.50 (AU) and the UK set was 17.99 + 3.00 GBP. So, not much more.
