Well, and my husband was watching The Plan last night, and admittedly, I was not a dedicated BSG watcher, but wasn't Boomer a sleeper agent? I thought that was where the pathos of her entire first-season storyline came from, her not knowing what she was doing and why.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Oh dear, I haven't watched yet, and now I don't want to.

Yeah, Dana! There's that, too! Plan my ass...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Cavill always knew. He was the one who erased the memories of the other 6 (and programmed the Five to think they were human).
The reason there are so many American adaptations of British shows is that selling formats is a major cash cow for Auntie Beeb. So far nothing's come close to Strictly Come Dancing, but it's an incredibly cheap way to make money off an existing property.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up Jessica. I was, in fact, high.

The Boomer retcon took some hand-waving, but it does explain why her "missions" came at such random-seeming intervals. It does NOT explain why she resurrected without her Cylon memories intact. (Even if she died in her "sleeper" mode, well, so did Ellen. And SHE got all her memories back as soon as she came back to life.)

Ha! Mark, Olivia, and Simcoe just TOTALLY had a
"Brad!"
"Janet!"
"Dr. Scott!"
"Janet!"
"Rocky!"
"Dr. Scott!"
moment, there. Without words, though. All eye contact.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber
I just read the article about the American adaptation of Being Human and came to the sentence that says
Syfy is targeting a launch in summer or fall 2010 and eyeing the series as a potential companion piece to breakout hit "Sanctuary," which deals with similar subject matter.
And how is this in any way a similar subject matter to Sanctuary, other than the fact that they're both fantasy shows? Has the writer even seen either of the shows?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Maybe they meant to remake Primeval? That is very like Sanctuary!
