A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Right. The characters are behaving like people. I assume you don't mean, "and that's bad," but I'm not getting the point.
I guess I am asking, it never occurred to
anybody
that a bird in the hand might be worth something? I mean, okay, I am kind of depraved (see: new fun with MRI), but when you have a specimen up close for the first time, I'd think you would at least have some random nerd wondering whether he's all wires under the surface. Curiousity isn't all idle, and interrogation isn't all "tell me what you're planning."
(I would also like to ask the cylon designer folks whether they think it's terribly stealty to install taillights into their humanoid models, because, as stealth goes, that's not it.)

Didn't they already know that? Wasn't the issue that there wasn't any easy way to tell, but that they already had a test? The most important thing that Cylon might have had for them was intel. Medically, Baltar had already claimed a test.
Yeah, in the miniseries Adama beat a Cylon to death. They must have done an autopsy, as they discovered that Cylon physiology was very similar to human.
edit for clarity.

Probably wasn't very thorough, if they didn't find the taillights.
Did we ever see the taillights again?
Yes, with Caprica!Boomer.
And that's pretty much every time we've seen them have sex, right?
Those lights are the DUMBEST shit.
Apparently, instead of the brake lever, these taillights are connected to the having-sex-in-a-sitting-position lever. Presumably they glow for other sex positions, or at other times, but AFAIK we don't know beyond two instances of the same position.
Those lights are the DUMBEST shit.
Yeah. I got the impresson from the miniseries DVD commentary that they just threw that in there on a whim... or at least they didn't think that through very well.
