I assumed that whatever kept them from knowing they were Cylons was removed by the music (or the removal was heralded/accompanied by the musis, it makes no nevermind to me which) and now they know, not that they are deducing.

Pretty much what Corwood said, I guess.

I need to know more about the switch. Does that mean they were not acting as Cylons at all until they were triggered? That all their former behavior and action can be considered as ironic in light of their current condition, but not considered as indicative of any Cylon tendencies?

What about with Boomer? That was a specific action, not a sudden knowledge, like these?

Boomer was doing stuff in blackouts long before she consciously realized she was a Cylon. So it doesn't seem to have been the same kind of switch that was activated.

I'm still suspecting that Cylon models are born, not manufactured. Sort of like waiting for Devon Rex or Manx or polydactyl cats to be mutated accidentally out of normal cat parents. (Well, as 'normal' as cats get.)

The five models--weren't they the first five models, or is that just my mind making things up? For some reason, I keep thinking that they were version 1.0 of the Humlons, which would make sense if Tigh (especially) was in the first Cylon war.

Tyrol's beating of Cally in S2 could have been a bit of Cylon programming leaking through in the form of the dreams.

RDM has said that the five are fundamentally different than the other skinjobs, so next season might be an exploration of their differences and similarities.

They can't be the first five models because D'Anna Biers is/was a three. Assuming that they are numbered as they are made. Perhaps the numbers have nothing to do with chronology.

What time is the SPN watch & post tonight? And, um, what ep? Because clearly my memory has holes in it. Or I'm a Cylon.

9pm Pacific Time.

Faith?

Yep!

Yay W&P!

I'm a Cylon.

You misspelled bitch.
