The Room of Requirement
Is that the name? I was sitting here wracking my brain, unable to come up with the right term. Thanks.
Saffron: You won't tell anyone about me breaking down? Mal: I won't. Saffron: Then I won't tell anyone how easily I got your gun out of your holster. Mal: I'll take that as a kindness.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I don't know how official and set in stone this is, but apparently I was wrong about Torchwood - they're on about moving it forward to the early evening slot and cutting the episode order for next series. Boo.

Tigh was already in the military when the Cylon war ended, and there weren't any human-form Cylons then.
I don't think that's ever been explicitly stated by anyone in a position to know. It was implied, and certainly that's what the humans think. But...all of this has happened before. I think the Final 5 are the First 5 (and predate the Centurion models by a lot).

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
But...all of this has happened before.
This is what worries me most about giving my heart to the show. It's too late, but I am still worried.
There were probably a jillion copies of each
I guess there would have to be but I don't understand it's execution. Did no one ever go up to Chief and say, "Dude...I know this guy that looks just like you." Over and Over again?
I don't know why but I had the impression that the final five were special in that there is only one copy (or very few) of each. They are limited editions. Otherwise it would be nearly impossible to keep any of the other seven from seeing them at some point. But that brings us back to how did they position themselves to be in the fleet...and now my head hurts.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Speaking of, why in the name of all that's shiny don't they present themselves to Adama and get themselves locked up, if they think they're such a threat?
If it were me, I'd not want to risk Roslin executing me on the spot.

I'm pretty sure it has been explicitly stated by both the human and known-Cylon characters that the humanoid models post-date the first Cylon war. But I don't think the Final Five fit into that worldview - they're something different.
And I'd be very surprised if there were multiple copies of any of them anywhere in the Colonies or the existing Cylon fleet. If there are copies of the Final Five, they're on Earth.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

They're... collectible?

Only if you leave them in their original shrinkwrap.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Now that we know Centurions can identify Final 5 - I don't think it is a coincidence they are all together. It was a precise moment that the Cylons started their attack. Laura was off the planet, Galactica was in air with at least 2 of the final 5 on board.
I think they waited until the Final 5 were in place before they attacked. It may not have been a conscious choice by the humanoids - but a choice informed by the Centurions.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Doctor Who 4.01: ROOOOOOOOOSE!! Oh man, I was *not* prepared for that! And there were several lovely moments with the Doctor realizing how lonely he was without a companion (did anyone else think that "I just want a mate" was sort of a breakthrough for him?) that made my little shipper heart beat faster, too.
All in all, a great episode, and I'm sold on Donna -- thank god she doesn't seem inclined to fall in love with the Doctor, either. But mostly I'm all *wavy hands* ROSE!! She's really coming back! I'm embarrassingly fangirly over her, I know, but Rose was the reason I fell for this show in the first place, and I loved her like I've loved few other fictional characters. I think I actually stopped breathing when she showed up at the end of the episode. How is this going to play out?? How did she get there? What's going to happen when she meets the Doctor again? ROSE!
