Truer words, man.
Thanks, I was wondering if it was the same way we call Grunberg Weiss, etc, etc. And interesting fannish complication, there, DXM. I am sure someone has already conceived of the crossover.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
Is it just me, or is Xena-cylon hotter than Xena?

Thrive to spite them
I realized I'm fuzzy about an aspect of the downloading of memories when Cylons die. Do all the current models of that Cylon get the memories, or just one that was grown to replace a dead one?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I think it's just the replacement, although the general facts of the dead one's experiences were probably downloaded into the Cylon database equivalent. That's why they continue to call the Caprica Six replacements "Caprica," since she's the one with the full memories/personality.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Matt, I didn't mean that he could read minds, but they've now referenced his actual name, and growing up and all that, which is a big thing to just leave out there (not that I think they wouldn't)

Art Crawl!!!
I think it's just the replacement too.
I like 3 better than Xena.
I just rewatched all of Season 3. Okay, it's only 4 episodes - but they are EPIC. I'm hoping that in addition to interesting things happening with the fleet (collaborators etc) we will get scenes with the Cylons. Will Six, 3 and Baltar stay on New Caprica with the Baby? Where will they live? In the tunnels of the resistance?
I'm also wondering what Anders will do now? Did you guys notice how particularly shocked Tigh, Kara and Gaeta seemed in the big reunion on Galactica scenes? I thought it was interesting that Tigh and Gaeta wound up on the same ship.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
As I understand it, the humanoid Cylons have individual personalities, which are what get reincarnated -- you don't get reincarnated as a generic Three, you get reincarnated as yourself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So there are a finite number of lines per model,then?

It's never been addressed, has it? I don't see any reason why there would have to be a limit to the number of each model they can create, but maybe that's why they're so keen on perfecting biological reproduction?
[eta -- It also seems, though, like the personalities within any given line don't vary much unless they've been sent on some kind of long-term isolated mission, like Caprica, Sharon and Boomer were. So if they created another Six tomorrow, the only thing to differentiate her would be her memories.]
