how come his baby is not special ?
concieved by human /cylon ???

Spoiler:

Because his identity as a Cylon isn't known by the other models in the Cylon fleet; same goes for the other three. No one except the one D'Anna knows these four are Cylons and the only who who has seen the face of the 12th and final model, but her entire model line is in storage including her individual consciousness. In coming episodes Tyrol's halfbreed baby could be played up more. Tori's character may already be starting that arc.

Also, I'd like to note that there is a high res shot of the scene where D'Anna is in the theater on ancient Kobol and sees the faces of the Final 5. It was obviously taken during a break in filming the scene as Lucy Lawless appears to be kidding around with one of the cloaked figures. You can see their faces quite well, but not a single one of the people in those cloaks were part of the four just revealed. Almost certainly just stagehands or friends/relatives or the actors and film crew.

Yeah, the actual people in the cloaks are of no significance. The actors were just extras.

"I really want to stay down now." Lots of drama, but also violence,and completely unnecessary violence,thanks head six.Was that abject horror when Baltar was looking at head six looking at Tori?

[Lord Avalon]

Hmmm, seems Cylons confuse pain with pleasure.

I don't believe so, that was more him looking at Imaginary Six realizing something about her and what she's been saying all along:

Spoiler:

That she isn't so imaginary after all, what with her physically lifting him up from the ground twice in full view of everyone and not a soul seeing her do it, though you can see both the guards' faces and the "WTF?! Baltar lifted off the ground!" reaction they had. I double-checked a recording of the scene and sure enough, he is quite clearly NOT getting up on his own power, there's a well-concealed harness on his back/shoulders and you can see him lift off the ground (hence, the guards' reaction) briefly the final time before Lee steps in. For the sake of the plot, she's somehow a real supernatural presence. It's been implied throughout the series, but usually it just looks like Baltar's having a spasm rather than Imaginary Six physically manipulating him. This time it was very blatant, public and undeniable. The rebirth of the original Beings of Light I guess. Begs the question about Caprica Six's Imaginary Baltar: Is he likewise a supernatural presence? Also, Tori whispered something into Baltar's ear just before the Whatevers of Zeus or Ares broke in and started breaking faces. If she didn't say it then, Baltar probably doesn't realize yet she's a Cylon.

[Solver]

Isn't the first time that happens. Six threw Baltar face-front into a mirror and was also once strangling him with his tie in front of a Marine back in season 1. So yes, she certainly appears to be capable of physically affecting Baltar.

[Dinner]

All in all a rather lame filler episode.

[Dr Strangelove]

Does six know that Col. Tigh is a Cylon or not? At the beginning of this season, when a raider comes face to face with Anders during the dogfight, the raider seems to recognize Anders as a fellow Cylon and spares him, then calls off the battle. Why is it that a raider can recognize one of the final five, but the skin jobs can't?

[Whoha]

they aren't supposed to think about it.

[Lord Avalon]

Maybe it takes two eyes to flash cylon IFF?

I wonder if they'll have his eye grow back.

[Dr Strangelove]

Raiders only have one eye also.



Do Cylons regenerate lost body parts without the use of the tanks of a regeneration ship?

[Lord Avalon]

Does a toaster's scanner count as an eye?

if skinjobs regenerate. Six's lifting of Tigh's eyepatch got me thinking - if they're superhuman, maybe they have superhealing.

[Koyaanisqatsi]

So, did the humans already learn about Baltar's involvement in the defensive grid shutdown or were Six's security guards and Tigh just not paying attention? I'd think that would be a fairly significant admission...

[Dinner]

Pretty much automatic death penalty when you kill billions. It is ashame they haven't built on that story line in the last season or two.
