all the evidence we've seen suggests that human-model Cylons are original beings, not copies of preexisting humans.
What evidence? I'll grant a lack of evidence for copies, but I can't recall any evidence for original beings.
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Caprica!Boomer seemed pretty clear that she was Sharon, not a copy with Sharon's memories. I don't think we have any reason to disbelieve her, or any reason to assume she's unique.

If Adama's a Cylon, then who is Lee's real father?
Tigh, obviously. Because he'd do anything for Adama.
Has Adama actually taken the Cylon detector test?
What if he's a Mark 1 Cylon, which proved to be too human and were removed from service?
(I'm feeling more than ordinarily evil this morning.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Has Adama actually taken the Cylon detector test?
In "Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down," Roslyn tells Baltar to do a test on Adama, and Adama tells him to test Tigh's wife. Balter goes back and forth between the two tests. I don't think he ever finished the Adama test.

Where would be the best place to ask questions about Alias -- here or in Natter?

But Caprica!Boomer /= the Boomer that Helo knew before the fleeing - that's Galactica!Boomer. Isn't it? Which makes it hard for me to know what she meant by claiming to really be Sharon. I guess I'm taking that as a reason to disbelieve her.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

He was working on tests for some time after that, though; one assumes he did Adama's (and said it came out negative, like he always did).

Has Starbuck joined Scully in the "Who's Got My Ovaries?" club?

I'm now picturing Starbuck and Scully running into each other in a bar and sharing ovary theft stories....
