Is Jammer a Cylon?

A few people pointed out in the season premiere review of Battlestar Galactica that Jammer might very well be a not-as-of-yet revealed Cylon. The tell-tale proof seems to be during the NCP graduation ceremony, where Duck detonates a bomb planted on himself that decimates everything and everyone in the area (or at least a great lot of them). The image above is taken from that very graduation, where Duck passes by Jammer. Obviously by the look on Jammer's face, he recognizes Duck, but does he figure out what's going on and hoof it out of there? Well, the next image may say he didn't.

Notice the person we can see behind Duck here. Is that Jammer? Could it be that he didn't high tail it out of there, was blown to smithereens only to later be resurrected into another Cylon body? The thing is, I don't remember any previous scenes that indicated Jammer would know anything about Duck's plans. Was it because he knew what happened to Duck and knew he was suicidal? Wouldn't it have made sense for them to show us that he ran the heck out of there? And if he didn't, wouldn't he at least be pretty banged up?

Since I'm asking these questions, obviously we don't know the answer to my question any time soon, though you will soon see a development in this whole story that may prove to be very interesting should Jammer prove to be a Cylon. You'll have have to wait and see.

I think its very possible that Jammer is a Cylon. The creators said that there would be some surprise cylons popping up. In fact there is also a rumor about Starbuck being a cylon, and I talk about that on my blog. I think we are in for some suprises though.

Theyve done the sleeper thing already, so i would hate if if they made Jammer a Cylon. Two models with real obvious sympathy/empathy (dependin on if he's human or not) for humans, but dont know what they are... i should think theyd be a lil more original than that. Besides, 6's seem to have real issues w. those kinds of models... we shoulda caught a scavin sideglance from Tricia Helfer by now :P

Gaeta being a Cylon follows the same logistical problem. He is the leak in Baltar's ministry, i.e. he is doing way too much for the humans and displaying some obvious feeling. Unless someone is going to suggest to me that he originated the leak abt Boomer's landing convoy, and not Ellen Tigh, im not buying that either. Akbar and I share this similar view. Akbar is also aabsolutely correct that theyve played out - excellent though - the Cylon-denial bit w. Cavill

Suicide Girl was one of the Bucs imho.

BALTAR and KARA are CYLONS, this is confirmed from one of the writers himself! i should know, i have access to his email without him knowing!.
This revelation will be the end-of-season cliffhanger. But there is a twist, seems Baltar has both a Human and Cylon version!! Believe it or not!

Akbar: I couldn't remember is she was a member of the team, or the resistance, but now that you say it, I remember the introduction of the group, and she was definately part of the team. I'm with you, I don't think she's a Cylon... I think they played out the hidden Cylon in that group with Brother Cavill (I'll never spell that right... Just made me think of that brilliant scene with Stockwell shouting that he wasn't a Cylon until he mets himself).

I think the Jury is still out on Jammer. You don't think they could have a weak character with crisis of self? They could, the question really is do they want to repeat the storyline? bambeluvr brings up a good point, I had forgotten Jammer in that episode.

We're going to need more Cylons, but I don't think any from the main cast would believeable at this point.

Someone mentioned Gaeta. The Spoiler Anon post from this summer (I'm not jumping in on this post being a spoiler. Get over it, seriously.) said that talked about "Early on, someone widely speculated as a Cylon will show that they are most likely not" (or something to that effect). When I watched the premier, I figured that we were talking about Gaeta... I don't think that you can justify his helping the resistance and being a Cylon sleeper. (Granted, after the review post came up, I realized that they were talking about Ellen. But I still think this episode proved that Gaeta was not)

i don't think so... duck was the only one they showed praying and strapping explosives on.

those webisodes really do clear a few things up (at least for me).
before i watched them i thought Duck was a cylon, because before he dentonates he says, 'i'll see you soon'.
i thought he was talking to xena-cylon, using the same line starbuck's cylon uttered after she killed him.
i didn't realize he was talking to his dead wife; the reason he took on the suicide mission. the webisodes make that clear.

I am fairly certain the red haired girl was on of the original Bucaneer team mates back on caprica.

Not a cylon imo.

wasn't she a suicide bomber as well?

after watching the webisodes yesterday, i don't think jammer is a cylon (though i was thinking that during the premiere). if he is, he's a sleeper agent, because at one point they bring him in for one on one questioning with the kevin spacey-looking cylon.

there is, however, a redheaded woman in the resistance, shown during key scenes, who i think will turn out to be a cylon. does anyone watching the webisodes know who she is? I don't have the dvds, and didn't recognize her from previous seasons.
she was there when they planned to move the weapons into the temple, and then she was there when jammer was arguing with tighe about that move, and the cylon raid.
shortly after that he's brought in for the questioning i mentioned above. it seems to me that the woman knew he was on the fence, and it would be the perfect time to sell the iraqi...uhhhh...new caprica police force idea to him.

just a thought...

Go back to Season Two when the Galactica is infiltrated by Cylon Centurians - the only person who survives an attack in a dead end corridor - Jammer. He is foudn hiding in a supply closet. Coincidence? He certainly has a way of beating the odds. My bet is that he is a Cylon and he doesn't know it. How did the Cylons learn about the weapons in the Temple and Tigh's involvement in the resistence? My bet's on Jammer.

I don't buy it. I mean, first of all, jammer is too weak of character to be a cylon. Kinda like why I never thought Ellen Tigh was a cylon, she was far too flawed.

that, and only about 30 of over 200 died, plus when the medals were being passe dout, they were all in a single line.

Gaeta remains my number 1 cylon suspect
