So this particular Cylon model appears to be Atheist.

This is an interesting look into the Cylons.

And it seems that the 'Al's are cylon atheists.

The priest Cylon is the avowed athiest.

I love this show. :lol:

Path to Enlightenment? Are the cylons trying to ascend or something? Derelict is sounding more and more plausible. :wink:

"The occupation of the Colonies was an error."

Yeah, I bet it was. Billions of dead and twelve irradiated planets, they say "oops," and man's last survivors are supposed to thank them for giving them a reprieve? Frakking Cylons and their bullshit mind games!

Hmm, I seem to be thinking like Zarek, given that I had the exact same reaction when I saw military personnel handling the ballots. :?

No, no, no!! They aren't doing what I think they're doing! Now I have to hope Baltar wins, so Roslin doesn't end up looking like shit.

I have a feeling that this was done without Adama's and/or Roslin's knowledge.

Adama was pissed that's for sure.

This is frakkin crazy!
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

No, it looks like Roslin's in on it, since that aide of hers spoke with her before instructing Tigh to move. So it's implied that Roslin knows what's going on. Not to mention her seeming discomfort and lack of enthusiasm while talking to Adama.

I think at least Torry did tell Roslin that she had a "secret weapon". So Roslin does seem not feeling right after she wins.

OK, even the Gaeta-skeptics have to admit that at this point Ron Moore wants us to think Gaeta's a Cylon, regardless of whether he actually turns out to be one. :wink:

And it seems you were right, she did know.

I don't think she had any knowledge of it, but either way, she's going to be tarnished by it. As it happens she gave permission to do something, though she may not have known precisely what it was, so she is done for politically, and anything more she says about Baltar's involvement with the Cylons loses all it's credibility forever. Basically, she's going to hell and everyone's going with her.
