I've been wondering when the human beings were taken before copies were made. They weren't always cylon, were they?
Why not? Have we ever been told anything that would indicate otherwise?
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

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

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Hmm. Interesting. Okay. I had another assumption.
I thought they were switched with their human bodies at some point. I cannot recall why I think that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I've been thinking this since the miniseries so I need some correction if I'm just flat out wrong.

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

We've never seen evidence of this. Could be, but....
They made a point that the civilian guy in the mini who turned out to be a Cylon had only been on the ship for two weeks. Sharon had been there longer, but she did mention that both her parents were dead, which would make sense as a background story for a Cylon that just appeared at some point.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, we've seen inferrable evidence that nobody has any good facial-recognition software, or else Copies 2, 3, 4 and Infinity of each model would not be able to get driver's licenses. Identity theft/creation from scratch seems to have been easy-peasy, even before print records in the Bureau of Vital Statistics got blowed up.
So, no need to disappear someone, do a copy job, and reappear that person. You can just push that person into public life, with or without a backstory, with or without that backstory personally believed to be true, and viola!
Thus, it was in the cylons' interest that a large number of humans survived. If there were only 100 humans, people would start to notice that ten of them were identical.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Wow. Okay, then my Balthar theory goes to hell. It was built upon him possibly being switched out.

Sebastian Bach's character is one of my favorite parts of Gilmore Girls. He's really a hilarious and wonderful guy. I love him a lot.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I saw SB play Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar in Vegas, on Thanksgiving day, a few years back. (Carl Anderson was playing Judas). It was fun, and there was even some HoYay.
