'Shindig'
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'm low on lore too, but it seemed pretty blatant that the truth will be that the problem isn't that there is no Earth, but that there are no humans.
Which makes Adama's speech even more poignant.
What do you decide to be when you find out you aren't you? That shit is deep.
It also screams of Planet of the Apes and Pogo. "We have seen the face of the enemy and it is us."
I am annoyed that I got spoiled by the comments about the webisodes on hulu! I tried to write it off, but the comment was right. Reminds me of the time when I was spoiled for Tara's death by imdb (it put an end date of the actress's time on the show before they showed her death.
It didn't bring me to the conclusion that there are no humans, otherwise there wouldn't be a human/Cylon test. Now, how come there were Cylons millenia ago I don't get. But I expect that will come out in time.
well, there are different kinds of cylons though. so the test that Baltar developed was to discern the 7. I would bet it doesn't work on the 5.
Fair enough. They must have been tested. But it could discern the old ones they used to be...

There's been a constant refrain throughout the series: "This has all happened before." One suspects now it's literal.
yes, and if this all has happened before, it would explain Roslin's visions - and perhaps Baltar's as well. Maybe they all have been reincarnated.
I'm willing to accept the mythology as it's being given (that is to say, incompletely), but the word "Cylon" seems to be undergoing a pretty serious redefinition.
I will be disappointed if they're all Cylons. Too muchh futility for me.
The fact that the 13th tribe was Cylon doesn't mean they're ALL Cylon, right? The 13th tribe came from Kobol like all the others, but it doesn't mean the other twelve tribes weren't human. I am beginning to suspect that the Lords of Kobol were Cylons, though.
