I saw an ad for some new thing from Barilla -- where you buy two sauces at once, and I think that the woman in the ad was Six. Odd.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Finally got around to seeing BSG (TiVo has made me lazy).
Isn't it interesting that the Cylons just let Galactica!Boomer nuke their base star, only to (presumably) activate her to shoot Adama? Maybe they felt they could afford to lose a base star (and loose control of Kobol) if they could kill Adama in the bargain.
Or maybe the Cylons just wanted to disable Adama. Their plans tend to be pretty inscrutible.
Oh, and I like how Cylons just go cheerfully to their deaths. Must be their faith in reincarnation (or whatever you'd call it).

Which made me think -- didn't they establish that when one of the human-form Cylons dies, their essence/memories get transported to the nearest copy of that model?
Which means that Galactica!Boomer, at the moment of the blast, got a download of possibly dozens of her clone-sisters' memories. Didn't she?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Oooh, Suela, I didn't even think of that.
Adama cannot be dead. But he sure was doing a damn good impression there sprawled across the console.
I get the discomfort some people have with his staging a coup - but on the other hand, they're in a pretty fucked situation, and the president is taking psychotropic drugs and having hallucinations that she takes as direction from the gods. I'm not sure he would know about the hallucinations - do we know how open she's being? But her new found religious conviction has to have been setting off some alarms. Still glad that Lee at least saw the dangers there.
Assuming Adama does survive - might be have more than one dying leader right now?

I thought that when a Cylon died its essence got transfered to a new Cylon body, not an existing one.
But I disremember - was it that their memories, etc got transfered electronicly (or through some existing technology), or was it some sort of spiritual thing? Because if it's the latter, it could be a belief that's not true (as we've never actually seen evidence that it happens).

I don't know whether its an electronic thing or a spiritual thing. It could be that the electronic thing inspired the spiritual belief.
I've been wondering what is going to happen when Starbuck and Helo bring Caprica!Boomer back to Galactica, because I can't imagine that Helo would leave without her. . . do we think that Starbuck would leave w/o Helo? Assuming there is enough room in her ship?

Well, Caprica!Boomer ran away, so I'm thinking they'll probably leave without her. Perhaps the Cylons will bring her to Kobol to have her baby?
Although having two Cylon Boomers on Galactica could be fun....

So is silicon heaven the same place as human heaven?
Human heaven? Humans don't have a heaven. Someone just made that up to stop you from going nuts.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My impression was that the Cylons' reincarnation was a fact of engineering, not a religious belief. (Even though it's clearly been integrated into their religion.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I had to wonder about Helo's reaction to this. "No, don't shoot her! She's pregnant!"
So...he believes her? I mean, she obviously is, given that this is TV, but still. And if he believes her, that means he must protect her?
