Oh I love YouTube.
Just caught this week's episode and the one from two weeks ago that I'd missed.
Battlestar Galactica...
Moderators: Cagliostro, sgt.null

I have to say Gaius Baltar is the best character. However, I don't find Six attractive. Her sexuality is too 'conspicuous', if that makes sense. Strangely enough, I find Mary Macdonnel attractive and Kara Thrace.
I love the new Basestars.

Whether it makes sense or not, if you wouldn't mind, if she shows up at your place and starts taking her clothes off, as you turn her away, please send her my way!Loremaster wrote:However, I don't find Six attractive. Her sexuality is too 'conspicuous', if that makes sense.

Romeo wrote:Did anyone else find it interesting that the torture machine in the recent episode (307 - A Measure of Salvation) had an iPod-like interface (the click wheel)? That's strange, since people say that using Apple products are less painful than PCs. But then can you imagine a Windows interface for the torture machine? There's a Start button, and you're always in fear of getting the "blue screen of death" before you can finish your interrogation. (not trying to start a Mac/PC battle thread - just trying to run with the joke) I wonder what the Linux interface would be?
I don't know much about Linux, I'm just picturing Microsoft Torture Device. Again, not to start a battle, I'm an inveterate Windows user. 
My main question about the last episode:
Spoiler
Are the Centurions cyborgs? I'd always assumed they were fully mechanical, but in order to be affected by the infection they'd have to have biological components, right?
Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing

I assume that they are also biological, to some degree. It was never specifically stated, but learning that their fighters were was a surprise too.Spoiler
Plus the fact that they can apparently both impregnate a human, and be impregnated by a Human.
Spoiler
Not the Centurions, I hope! 
Heh, I guess it does make sense that the Centurions use bio-tech given that all the ships do (assuming now that all the ships do; they appear to), I just wonder what the point is.

And all that just leads to more questions.. The human-looking Cylons 'evolved' from the metal Cylons, but now the metal Cylons seem to be their servants. There must be a missing link in there somewhere, perhaps represented by the five models they don't talk about, or perhaps a line that is simply obsolete. Are the humanoid Cylons all clones? Do they age, and if not, why?

Seeing as how every other piece of Cylon technology does have bio, it would certainly follow that the centurians have some sort as well.

Yeah, I guess it's safe to assume that everyone that posts to this thread has caught up or isn't worried about spoilers.
And if anyone feels differently, PM me and I'll spoiler stuff.
