Baltar said that the blood on the tags was necrotic. This is BSG tech? I've never heard of anything like that before.
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I've heard the phrase "necrotic tissue" before but I assumed Baltar was using the word mostly to make himself sound smart.
I'm really not sure how he determined that the person who bled on those tags was in the process of dying, though. (Obviously the blood itself will be dead once it hits the air, but come on, people bleed on things and survive all the time on this show!)

Yeah, Baltar's proof wasn't proof of anything. And I wish Kara had slugged him instead of just slapping him.

I just saw episode 5 of Being Human this afternoon. Lenora Crichlow really won me over with this one—when she said "And now I'm going to tell you the very worst thing in the world. Something only the dead know." in that calm deadpan I got chills like I was reading one of Neil Gaiman's darker stories. Though I do have to wonder what she could have said to break Owen so thoroughly if he was unimpressed by proof of the supernatural and the sight of the fiance he killed coming back with revenge on her mind .

And it was apparently something Mitchell knew, and George should not, which piqued my curiosity.

Well, looking at Wikipedia, vampires spend time dead in this so they know what the dead know, and what we as audience members will not know while alive.

It's not Mitchell knowing, it's Mitchell protecting George from it that piques my interest.

It reminds me of that Larry Niven story "The Subject Is Closed."

A priest talks to some highly advanced aliens who are socializing in an earthside bar frequented by alien travelers. Once his job comes up in conversation, they tell him their race knows all it cares to about the afterlife. Turns out, ages ago they were in contact with another species that set out to find out about life after death scientifically. Then they lost contact, as the entire race promptly committed mass suicide. As did some of the teams who investigated their demise. And some researchers who looked into the records of the investigations long afterwards. Eventually, they destroyed all the records concerning the situation. Once the tale ends, the Priest and the human bartender are left speculating about exactly what sort of discovery could have prompted such a reaction. The aliens note that they might want to be careful in case they figure out the answer .
