Jayne ,'Objects In Space'
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.
Also, presumably, Cavil.
And D'Anna thinks God loves her.
Basically, I got the impression that conversion was part of their mission from God, but maybe I'm mistaken and all God wants them to do is subjugate humanity, who can go on and believe whatever they want to as long as they...I have no idea what the Cylons are doing anymore. And this sense was heightened by the scene in which even the Cylons had no idea what they were doing.
When the NCP told the prisoners to get out of the trucks and "stretch their legs," did anyone else think The Great Escape, especially after that little chat between Laura and Zarek (reminded me of the conversation between Big X and his Scots friend before they were mowed down in GE). The quarry-like environment had me thinking Babi Yar. Lots of WWII-era references in this ep.
Given Cavil's use of airquotes everytime he mentions God, I doubt that he actually believes.
My inferrence has been that Cavil actively disbelieves.
He explicitly said that there is no god, back in the S2 finale. I'm pretty sure they included that bit in the "previously" montage, but maybe I'm misremembering.
I got the impression that conversion was part of their mission from GodI don't think there's been any indication that that's what's going on. My pet theory is that intead of viewing themselves as humanity's children, now they're decided to be the parents. Or gods, if you like.
Ah, silly me, the really annoying Nora whose death I was rooting for. Hmm, yeah, could be that when that particular model comes back, having witnessed firsthand a human's willingness to die, and a strong believe that he'd see her in this unknown afterlife, might shake her a little.

Oh. Well, that was AGES ago. You can't expect me to remember important character moments like that! Thanks.

Silly widdle humans.

Nice try, VM fan.
Yeah, but I live and breathe VM. I hated the BSG finale and tried not to think about it for five months.
I still think that CapricaSix and Sharon Valeri leading the Cylons back to try and coexist with humans was a fairly stupid premise. They should have known that the rest of the Cylon wouldn't be onboard with them, and just steered them away from the humans. I guess experiencing love makes you incredibly stupid and short-sighted (which...yeah?) I guess I just wish we'd been able to see the mutation of their fine goal being twisted by the general opinion of the rest of the Cylon.
