Huh? I just watched the episode and it had a scene where Adama resigned, gave Tigh the rank, got in a shuttle and left Galactica. Lee was sworn in as president.

Yep, we did see a scene with her. Tigh was questioning her about the resurrection hub, he started seeing Ellen, and then got annoyed and nearly strangled her.

We see him getting sworn in, with his oath transmitted over the wireless.

Not only did he resign, but he even gave his admiral pips to Tigh. And then got into a raptor and watched the rest of the fleet jump away.

Clearly you watched a different episode than the rest of us.

Although you missed some crucial parts there, I do agree that the episode was very tightly edited. The search of the debris field was glossed over considerably.

So wait, was #8 the last one for this half of the season or is there a new one next week?

[Cold Warrior]

There's a new one this week, June 6, entitled 'The Hub.'

Did nobody else find the revelation about Six's baby interesting for entirely non-soapy reasons? Supposedly it's impossible for two Cylons to have babies, so what gives?

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing myself.

[analogue SPRINKLES]

Oh ok I thought that was the cliffhanger. In that case the last episode wasn't as bad as I thought.

What do you use? I use the TV Forecast widget and it's never let me down, despite tracking 24 shows with it.

I'll check out that widget. I have 45 shows tracked with the above website, but I don't really watch them all and some of them no longer air anymore.

My TV guide says it's on this Friday!!!

 

My TV guide says "The Vipers and the Cylons work together to prevent the Hub from resurrecting." this Friday.

[reader50]

That's good to know.

Hmmm, since the Cylons themselves insist they cannot reproduce, 6's pregnancy can be explained only in two ways - either the "final 5" is a bit more capable than the rest, or it's not Tighs child. In this case my bet is: it's Baltar's child.
The Opera house vision would be much more symbolic in this case - it would be not about a single Hera kid, but about human/Cylon children as a group. Athena does not want these children to be separated from the Fleet, Roslin has her own business in keeping these hybrids handy (BTW - 6's child will be quite useful for Roslin, if any character could recall the cure for her first cancer) and Cylons & Baltar would obviously take the hybrids with them, wherever they may head afterwards...

[mrtew]

I'm thinking that the final five aren't PHYSICALLY Cylons like the normal 7 are. It would be too huge of coincidence that amongst the billions of humans killed on the twelve colonies that all of the final five just happened to be on the one battlestar that escape the holocaust and countless Cylon extermination attempts. The final five must be some kind of spirits or projections that are inhabiting Tigh and the others and they've been totally normal humans up until this season, and are thus perfectly capable of having children with either humans or Cylons.

[hwojtek]

Uhm, you mean each of the final 5 has his/her own "head Cylon" that takes over sometimes? It has been said: D'Anna has seen the faces of the final 5, so would it mean she is far more capable in regards of ability to visualize and precog than other known Cylons?
I'm not sure... the edit: indeed not a Heavy Raider ceased fire after it recognized Samuel Anders by scanning his face...

That was a regular raider.

[hwojtek]

Was it? I thought it was the same his wife has encountered, but I must have been mistaken, sorry ;-)

[greenamp]

Definitely a normal raider. And the eye scan scene was a significant allusion to the fact that the final 5 are indeed machines, just like the others.

If indeed it is Tigh's baby, there is nothing preventing it story wise. The final 5 are different, and to what extent we do not yet know.

I don't think that is it as remember the cheif and Boomer were knocking boots for a while and no baby popped out.

Cylons thought the missing ingredient was love. Perhaps Tai's love for his wife that he sees in 6 might help but then again I am pretty sure the chief loved boomer at the time also.
