Did we ever see the taillights again?
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.
'Out Of Gas'
Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Also, the Cylon Adama killed was male, so maybe he didn't have the taillights.

Yeah, he probably had fog lamps.

Or a flash light.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
So, taillights might actually be glowy ovaries, except they're really, really lost in the body cavity? Okay.
The big fun comes when you realize that the cylon they killed in the mini and the cylon they killed later were the same model. Come on, didn't somebody at least joke that it was the perfect opportunity for a twin-study in anatomy? And, having cracked that joke, didn't somebody else say, DUDE WHAT AN AWESOME IDEA like I just did?

From the Battlestar Galactica Miniseries Wiki:
Note: Comments from members of the production crew have since suggested that the only reason the glowing spine was included was that it "looked cool" at the time, and in retrospect, may have been a mistake.
"in retrospect, may have been a mistake." - duh.
