the Cylons think God did everything... still kinda weird though... we never see much religion in the humans on the show except for the occasional "May the Gods be with you", and Starbuck's "If he had a soul, take care of it" thing... but the walking toasters are religious?

I don't care for the idea that emotions are real or artificial..
Emotions just are....
That's why I simiply say the Cylons show emotions...
Since I've never seen "fake emotions" I have no common frame of refrence.

But is anyone getting the hint that the #6 with Baltar does not share the same agenda as the attacking Cylons...

Neither did the male they ejected out the air lock

I'm begining to think that executing him simply based on the fact he was a cylon was a mistake/

It seemed to me that executing that Cylon made teh humans no better than the Cylons. Humans seem to want to take the moral high ground but I dont see that they were any better in that episode.

true, #6 DOES seem like she wants to help the humans... but in the process, Baltar seems to be going evil...

killing that Cylon just because of who/what he is makes humans no better than barbarians... it's not like he had done anything WRONG though... he was arrested without any reasons (other than being a Cylon) and the only reason that he made up the whole bomb story was to buy himself some time

something has been disturbing me about the direction the story is headed....

Is it me or have they utterly failed to assign a hero or villian in the seris. ( asside from the obvious.)

I mean that victory was great but
I don't think... the humans come off as the good guys here

The cylons...I have no idea....what is with them...are there factions

The Cylons seem to be choosing sides. Some hate humans and want humans destroyed. Others seem to be swayed by their emotions and are siding with or are at least sympathetic to humans.

Seems Cylons are more human than either side realizes.

I also think the double bluff tactic with the freighters at the Tylium mine was kick ass.

that should be interesting to find out...

IMHO, the Cylons are 50/50... like Anlushac said, some want to help humans, others wanna kill them... #6, and the newly-added sympathizer Boomer, want to help the humans, so they Cylons will have a hard time killing them when they have traitors on their sides

that double bluff tactic was pretty damn good... i wasn't expecting it at all

while they aren't controlling the Base Stars and Raiders, they can give the humans a heads-up of what's to come...
