Fair enough. They must have been tested. But it could discern the old ones they used to be...
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
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.
There's been a constant refrain throughout the series: "This has all happened before." One suspects now it's literal.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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.

But it does present an interesting existential challenge. If it turns out that we are _all_ the enemy, then what use is our judgement against the enemy? Mass self-destruction is one option but letting go of hate is another.
I can't believe I'm being sucked back into BSG when I had so resolutely given it up.
What's next? Loving Lost?
I appear to have no will.

They've already made an alliance with some of them. That takes the punch out of it for me.
