yeah, maybe so? the whole thing is weird. I hope there is a cursory explanation.
I know 6/T isn't human/cylon, but 6 said that cylons couldn't breed at all...so the whole thing is wild.

Well, they hadn't bred yet. Tigh's headspace is mostly human, arguably the most human of all the crypto-Cylons. That has to count for something.
I STILL want to know what the source of all the visions sending them to Earth was, and why they were sent on a wild Cylongoose chase to it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well, Ellen made some comment about how it was a good thing that they didn't have kids - but I don't know whether that meant that it just never happened (if you're married and you never had kids - you're CYLONS!) or that they never wanted them, i.e., made the decision to not have them.
But, perhaps the visions sent them to Earth that Was so that the final five could realize who they were and get those memories back. . . in a way to help history NOT repeat. (Not working so well so far.)
In only slightly bsg related news - check out the Cylon sock yarn and the cool socks that the Yarn Harlot made with her "Eye of Jupiter" sock yarn. (Scroll down -you'll see them.)

Very interesting, Tom! I love John August because of Go. And hey, one of the producers was Dan Etheridge, who produced VM. Which explains a certain cameo.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So...I could not finish the BSG podcast because Moore's wife was on. Can someone tell me if there is good stuff after minute 5? When she interrupted his train of thought, I bailed. I just couldn't take her anymore.

Oh god, LeN. I feel your pain. Nothing against the woman personally, of course, but she completely detracts from the pod casts. It was really light on ep talk. He even kind of acknowledged that at the end, saying that he would talk more about the ep on the DVD extended version. I wouldn't roll my eyes so much if she had anything to add about the eps but she just goes off on tangents.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I've only listened to half of it so far, LeN, and I totally agree. She annoys the living crap out of me.

Sorry, I was phone posting before.
He talked mostly about how it was to direct for the first time (and actually look through a camera for the first time ever), how he prepared, shooting choices, how certain days/scenes went. One cute thing - their kids were extas in the Baltar blah-blah scene. I can't really remember any good or juicy ep/story talk.
Oh, and he talked about (potentially spoilery, I guess, for the rest of the season):
why they chose to go with Tyrol not being Nicky's bio-dad - basically, it's because they'd set Hera up in the mythology of the show as The One True Hybrid, and she has A Special Role in everything. So, that was interesting, and hence, Hot Dog. Or, at least, I found it interesting because I'd started to wonder whether they were ever going to do anything about Hera and her specialness now that she had competition.

Yeah, that certainly seemed like the motivation. Especially because it doesn't sound like they started thinking about doing the Final Five storyline until season three, and they'd already created Nicky at the end of season two. So they wanted Tyrol as a Cylon but had to get around making Nicky another hybrid eventually.
