Dave #24 AMEN Brother.

cress-d: Just a footnote. The example I used with Sharon's child (Hera) is bolstered in the scene when Six, Baltar, and the Lucy Lawless model (what # is she?) found Hera among the dead in the end of the Exodus part 2 episode. Notice how they immediately knew who she was? I cannot recall how else they would know her. The cylons just know.

By the way Dorv, I see what you mean about the reference to Sharon's name. I really like 'Athena' but I am just not used to it yet. I prefer Sharon as in Hera's mother and Boomer to be the original. Oh why couldn't they capture me!

Akbar: Just having a little fun!

cress-d: I also noticed Sharon's reaction when she saw the basestars. Of course cress-d, when it comes to Sharon/Boomer, I notice EVERYTHING about her. But to the point, like you, I wondered if anyone else picked up on it enough to make it an issue. It worries me a little. I agree with your assessment of this scene. I believe the cylons have a built-in sensory network much like our own human sixth sense. I think they can sense things among their own, for example, any of the humanlike (I hate the term skinjobs) models can immediately pick out, say...Hera....in a crowd without ever having seen her. If we are right about this theory, I do not think she is affected. I certainly hope she isn't.

I did notice that Cress D.

Was Athena infected? My initial thought was she was hit but since she is special she was not infected thus her reaction.

Or, it could just be a reaction to seeing the pulsars.

Or since she is so versed in the scriptures maybe this was another prophecy that just plopped into place.

When Athena/Kat(I think it was Kat) jump to the coordinates, did anyone else notice the weird facial expression(closed her eyes, shook her head) displayed by Athena BEFORE BEFORE she saw the BaseStars/Raiders in disarray? It seemed like she knew something was up immediately when they arrived at those coordinates.

"When Gods anger awakens, even the mighty shall fall..."
Boomer/Athena is well-versed in the religious scrolls(HOME as an example). She states to Adama that she has no hidden protocols and makes her own decisions, and is not a sleeper. But I just thought her initial reaction was odd here. Maybe she automatically sensed something was strange when they arrived at the coordinates, BEFORE they saw the infected BaseStars/Raiders. Anyone else notice this..and your thoughts?

"Mists of dreams drip along the nascent echo, and love no more. End of line."
More Hybrid dialogue...

David--24. "You talk to much. When your post is 4 times as long as the blog no one will listen. David."

That is a lame observation.

David..sorry you can't read more than a couple of sentences in a post. I would rather read a long post w/ deep analysis than a two-sentence blurb from someone who doesn't feel like typing too much! Are you a member of "Short Attention Span Theatre"?

"The agony exquisite, the colors run the path of ashes."

Just one of the lines spouted out by the Hybrid. Nothing special to point out, just thought it was a beautiful, strange statement.

Dorv,
I'm here to answer your 10pt question about the "Flares".
I could be wrong, but my guess is ST:Voyager (in the intro).

Oh yeah,.. I liked the episode as well, except I felt it had more of an "artsy" feel to it. Not my favorite episode, but still great.

David: So a scene that is written and not shot, is that canon? (Are we really arguing over this?)
