You have to wonder now if Boomer only carry out cylon commands when the cylons are present (and transmit the commands) or if she's programmed to suddenly snap one day and kill 500 people. Maybe both?


She was planet side in the rain. Then became aware (came to) on the ship with the rain water still running off of her. Seems to be a little extra dimensional stuff going on.

Actually, I am fairly certain the water was because she had been in the potable water tanks placing the explosives.

Both boomers are a cylon, I think galactica boomer is having some sort of conflict between her human programing and her sleeper agent programing, because the sleeper agent programing appears to just be designed to take over the body every once in a while and commit terrorist acts, while the human programming is supposed to be active all the time, and is designed to be a little too human, and thus doesn't want to hurt her friends and is fighting the sleeper agent programming.

Could be.

Personally, I wish they would get past all this stuff that requires me to pay attention as well as consider what is really going on, and kick some robot butt.

I do appreciate the Newtonian physics of space combat. You know "bodies in motion..stay in motion." I saw attitude control jets firing on some vipers, and vipers flying in one direction while firing in another.
I paid special attention to the hanger fire. The fire suits looked like they came right off a navy ship. Also the damage control talk sounded pretty authentic. Mentioning bulkheads and damage between "frame" numbers.
Absolutely hate little lights inside space helmets though.

It's better than talking skull-helmets.


Zero, you pointed to something there that might be important. We've all pretty much agreed the Boomer arc is going to come to a head sooner rather than later. What if this conflict between her Human personality vs. Cylon self results her breaking down. I'm certain she suspects herself of being a cylon.

Anyone remember in the movie AI - if you stayed awake this long - a scene where Jude Law's character with with the child robot in a city. He sees a girl and begins to move towards her because of his programming, but stops and stays with the boy instead overriding his programming with something else that wasn't expected.
