i'm not all that concerned with being spoiled for BSG. so i've stumbled in here.

Juliebird's pitch would give me so many happies.

D'Anna's apology to the mysterious cylon made me think it was someone she had personally slighted. so who could that be?

oh and silly question, but do cylons age? were they ever itty bitty Six's and Boomer's?

No -- Sharon Agathon said that the Cylon doctors had never treated a child.

tiggy, I think it could also be someone who had been particularly screwed by the Cylons as a whole, which would likely mean it had to be someone pretty visible (as opposed to some random human).

Poor Lucy Lawless, it seems like the role that keeps on giving (even if you die), and they found a way to get rid of her permanently.

duh me. so i guess Boomer just showed up at an opportune time to infiltrate the fleet and she just had a fake childhood implanted in her.

ETA: i suppose so, Debet, but the way she said it just really felt like she had personally wronged this person.

The thing is, if this person is boxed, then we wouldn't personally know who it is, because they've, you know, been boxed, and there are no more of those copies walking around living and breathing.

So I agree that D'Anna recognized this person in some capacity (personally or by reputation), but I doubt that we will. I mean, unless they had been boxed recently, we'd never have met them.

President Adar? We've seen him in flashbacks. Zack Adama? No, he grew up. Anybodies parents that we never met, I suppose, or not: "mommy, why haven't you aged?"

Do we know that the final five are actually boxed, or is that an assumption, because we (and they) have never seen them?

I can't say for sure, but I think that it was mentioned in interviews if not in the show, that there are five cylons that they don't ever speak of. Or maybe it was in the first half of this season where Caprica is explaining the lay of the land to Baltar when he first arrives on the basestar.

But, I could be wrong and it is just a wrongly drawn conclusion. If that's so, then it totally opens up who it could be.

It just seems that the cylons don't simply ostracize their fellow models.

I've got a list of people I'd box.

Dear Cylons,

You do have a plan, and I would like to subscribe.

Is there any reason to think that the Cylons would never speak of their boxed models? I'd assumed there was some other reason they didn't know who the five were. If we've never met even one of the five, the preview-makers (and the spoiler-teasers) need to be beaten about the head and neck.

D'eanna seemed to be implying that there were 5 models the current 7 had never met because their "Creator" had never revealed them to them. (Which brings up a whole nother load of questions.)

It's all very confusing.
