CYLONS HATE THE HUMANS AND THEY TAKE HUMAN FORM PATHETIC TRASH

You have to respect him picking a side and sticking with it.

Didn't Saul commit incest? If so I'm not sure if I can agree with you.

But he was was a flawed cylon who enjoyed liquor

@@brianlindee9212 how could it be a flaw when it's part of his programing?

These five are the originals, the ones that survived the destroyed Earth, the others are just cheap knock-offs. And I have to wonder, how many of them are actually the final five? If I remember right we eventually find out that one of them is actually a 2nd gen. I am glad I have this series on DvD, but I have to find them and watch this series again.

RIP

Always loved Rhodes. Grew up watching him on DANGER BAY, and then later on DAVINCI’S INQUEST (a Canadian LAW & ORDER kinda show).

Not really impressive on this show. The acting outside of Adama was always overrated. The writing is what was great.

"Don't anybody unplug anything" 😅😅😅

In a twisted sense, it was out of mercy. Rather a quick and painless death in sleep rather than a horrible drawn out one from nuclear fallout.

Was she the same version that snap the neck????

⁠@@sanitizerwilson1599yes she was the same version. She was the only 6 with a name (caprice) because she was a war hero to the cylons for getting into the defense mainframe

Hahahaha

Well, I have been catching-up on this show through re-broadcast of the entire series on 'Comet' channel...and even though I get the definate feeling THIS episode is probably right around the corner (Laura was patching-up Baltars gut-wound just before her and Adama's LONG-awaited embrace, after Adama landed his Razor in the battle-scarred base-ship) I am sitting here laughing over the interactions between everybody here in the infirmary...and it amazes me how 'innocent' they all seem...I am betting there's a different director of this episode ? in any case, now I have a MUCH better understanding of (maybe ?) where 'Bladerunner 2049' got the idea that Dekard & Rachel would've...'copulated' to bring-about the first-ever Organic-Cyber 'Hybrid'. Wish I'd watched Battlestar beforehand, then I would'nt've been so intensely 'offended' by the mere-concept, as I was when I watched the Bladerunner sequel two yrs ago...because now it makes more sense to me that Ridley Scott DID'NT pull the idea completely out of thin-air...lol

first two season and no, not so much. They just needed to stretch it and get more $$$$, as usual

Yep, count me into that club. I'm like what the frack!!!?? Chief???!!! Guess I have another sci fi series to get.

Nice call, though with the eyepatch, I suppose it could be Odin and Frigg arguing about Freya . . . .

GplusGains The show is heavily influenced by Greek mythology. Their names alone are a major giveaway: Athena, Apollo, Hera, Helo, Ellen, Pegasus, Atlantia, etc. The 12 tribes like the 12 Olympian gods, Kara THRACE prays to Athena or Artemis I think...it’s everywhere in the series

Aye. Grapple them to thy soul with hooks of steel.

Chris, Well, it was clearly an emergency. What else would they've done, exactly? Aside from which, I don't think any of them had reason to doubt Cottle's moral and ethical bona fides, whether it involved doing his utmost in treating humans or Cylons.

Not to invoke Godwin's law, but this line of logic is the same thing as a group of not sees trusting a Jewish doctor. (It's doubly relevant given the cylon xenocide against humanity) sure it's possible for it to happen but it proves their hypocrisy and the weakness of their ideals.

Well the Cylon Doctor Simon model wasn't exactly happy with the 6s and 8s, especially after getting ventilated🤷‍♂️

​@@annoyed707Well, the last time Tyrol put his love life over his duty/important decisions, Boomer blew up a bunch of stuff, shot Adama, and got herself killed by Cally. So maybe he's trying to learn from past mistakes?

@@hibbidyjibbidyy Yeah but he had to really love Caprica, or else they wouldn't of had the baby. When he told her to go he was just lashing out cuz they were ganging up on him. Ellen did this. She clearly even realizes it as Caprica starts holding her belly, Ellen knew right away what she did. She's the only one with all of her memories back. 2000 years of bitterness, she was right about one thing, the Cylons were like their children and she should have known better than to play this game with them.

this ep was what as know as a "cheap production", it was only made to save money with little to no set expense. It only showed that the writers think that all females are petty.

@@pistolwhipped7714 This has literally nothing to do with the post you're replying to.

@@pistolwhipped7714 Hot take LMAO

You didn't follow the story, did you? Humans had excellent technology, but during the first Cylon war everything from the toaster to the nukes kept getting hacked by the Cylons, who are literally AI. So they had a massive regression in fleet technology, making everything Analog including tube based television sets and relay based telephones. I think they mentioned it in the first episode, in fact...

@@patrickasplund Nope

@@patrickasplund Not quite, Galactica hadn’t gone through the refit that all the other, older Battle Stars were having to bring them in line with ships like the Pegasus, as she was about to be decommissioned and turned into a museum. She was the relic of the fleet and and Adama had wanted to keep it that way. Also, to the OP: BSG wasn’t set “far into the future”. It was 150,000 years in the past. When they reach “our” earth, the humans there are still nomadic and hadn’t developed speech yet. When it cuts to the present day, Hera’s remains had just been found and she’s declared as the missing link between modern humans and the Neanderthals.

150,000 years in the past

@@patrickasplund Yes it was low tech on purpose. Old wired phones, solid state single purpose circuits. Nothing that can be programmed except the jump computers that were all disconnected.

When did she do that?

The actress Rekha Sharma played the character very well, she played a similarly treacherous character in the show: the 100. From the 1st scene she's in i counted down the clock to her demise & it didnt disappoint! Respect to her acting ability that even tho she's hot, you still want to kick her in the clunge!

You can’t really blame them for not wanting to stay. Many humans in the fleet still hated Cylons and at that point it wasn’t that long ago when the policy concerning Cylons was still to throw them out of an airlock without any sort of trial.

@@ronin3381 Not so long ago Cylon policy towards humans was to Nuke them from orbit and conduct experiments on survivors

@@adeosinowo3197, How was Tori treacherous, really though? To Roslin? She was really following her instincts here, as to what she thought her path in life should be. I found her behavior far less objectionable than Anders was, well, at least until he recovered and took his final part, anyway. As far as Callie was concerned, what choice did Tori have? Callie would have exposed them all, and that was long before their even potentially having a value as bargaining chips came into play. So, the 4 of them would have been flushed out. She did decide to save the kid, which she wasn't at all obligated to do. Callie had to go.

women !!!!

IKR?! Typical Cylon LOL. Jokes aside. I wonder if Saul managing to impregnate Six meant that there was true 'feeling' involved, hence she is extra bitter..either that or that she knows that she won't be able to birth a cylon anymore.

@@tracys169 Definitely that Saul and Caprica loved each other. Pretty sure Moore even said as much in commentary.

what does Number One have to do with this?

6 is much younger than Helen, that's all there is to it

I'm pretty sure Ellen was banging Cavil on New Caprica (ostensibly in order to help Saul and possibly other prisoners), not on the Baseship after her resurrection.

It took me till the rewatch to catch Ellen's "You just can't stop poisoning me!" 😂😂 That woman was pure chaos as both a human and a cylon.

You are correct, it's the stand alone episode "the plan" from the cylons perspective. Helen was skanking about in Picon and ran into Cavill in a bar. When the nukes hit, she was resurrected into a basestar.

@@CrazyChemistPL That is my memory too. She wasn't entirely doing it for lust, she was trying to save people that were important to her. Saul I think was banging 6 mostly so he wouldn't think about his murdering Ellen.

They were "made by men" LOL

Casting directors. Anyone short of an 8 out of 10 is a 3, and only cast(ed?) if they need the plain friend.

Given they were designed as infiltrators, being gorgeous is a tactical choice…. But that’s just the in-universe explaination

@@Crazalus They were really designed just to be the next step in Cylon evolution, though. The Five didn't intend on espionage.

@@kingofthorns203 Yeah, there's a definite gender imbalance at work in the casting of the Cylons. There are fewer female Cylon models but they're uniformly not only attractive but have their sexuality played up. Simon and Leoben aren't hard on the eyes, but they don't get constantly sexed up in the same way. And Doral and Cavil are... ugh. Strangely, the series doesn't shy away from using human males like Apollo or Helo for fanservice, though. Then Anders turns out to be a Cylon, and he's the only male Cylon to have been a Mr. Fanservice in the series, but he turns out to be one of the Cylons that *doesn't* have multiple copies (unless you count the blank spare bodies). Multiple Dorals and only one Anders is just... unfair.

Both of the women he loved died and he found out his son wasn't even really his son and lets not forget Adamas threat to kill his wife

People say that, but he was already acting as a Cylon representative to Adama before this episode.

Tyrol seemed to embrace being a Cylon much more than Anders and Tigh ever did (at least before Anders regained his memory). He didn't go as far as Tory did and just move to the Basestar at his first chance, but he very clearly thought of himself as a Cylon first starting from pretty early on after the four were "activated". With that in mind, I can see him wanting to just move on and start over at this point. Cally's dead, his son isn't his, and maybe at this point he was hoping if they left, Adama would allow Boomer to leave with them, and then he could be with her on the Basestar.

I AGREE 100%. This final 5 cylons story was trash. it should have never happened. Tyrol was the chief. he loved his job and his team. he treated them as his family.

@@davahn122 this is why i hate the writers for treating tyrol so bad in the final season. i can understand his wife killed off coz of the actress controversy. but then the writers took away his son and tyrol being the chief engineer. i always loved it when he was the chief

It's simple. Saul loved Ellen... but Ellen never loved Saul. Not more than herself. She was projecting onto him, that there was "something more" compared to her and Caprica in Saul's heart... she was always #1 in her own heart.

I find it prophetic that Cavill who was modeled on her father, also had spite and rage. Maybe she is more like her father than she is willing to admit.

Well, he did frak Helen when 6 was carrying his baby.

See the other comments here about how Greek mythology inspired this series. This squabbling nature of the Five is not very different from how the Olympian gods behaved.

No, I think Ellen past resurrection is vastly different. She is much more thoughtful, toned down, nostalgic, somber... wiser probably. But she still is prone to being overly emotional to the point of acting irrationally and spiteful because of her hurt pride. I think she comes around by the end, however.

They were different models, this one didn't do that

Bruh i didnt even realise she wasted that baby but linked her obsession with wanting maternal instincts to her rage she couldnt

@@chasejackson7248 It is the same one, Caprica 6 is the model that snapped a baby's neck.

@@AwakenedAvocado She was saving it from the nuclear bombs that would soon land

@@Prometheus7272 but she was angry thst she couldn't have children and somewhat obsessed with them.

That's not quite how it works. Mitochondrial Eve is the most recent person all humans share ancestry with, but the key word here is "share." We aren't all literally descended from just one couple. What happened is all other bloodlines eventually mixed with hers at some point. So she didn't even become Mitochondrial Eve until generations after she'd already died.

@@SargonTheGrape what other blood lines? If she is the latest "common" ancestor, wouldn't she and her mate be all that's necessary for modern human origin? Gotta admit, you kinda lost me

@@shado9300 If you and your sibling both have children, your parents are their common ancestors. But those kids still have separate ancestors on the other side of their families. Mitochondrial Eve's descendants eventually married into enough other families that we now all descend from her. But she isn't the "origin" of humanity.

Not exactly. Maternal DNA passes unchanged through the female offspring. Meaning direct female desendents would have her DNA. But male DNA would all recombine.

Thus why the female cylons were all cycling at the same time😂🤦‍♂️

They were the ones that were adamant about their belief in "God" and yet they did everything in their power to avoid eventually meeting him. Most real religious believers either wait patiently for the day they get to meet their creator, or they rush madly towards that day. But the Cylons were terrified of it even though they considered themselves "HIS" most loyal servants.

Swirl.

You kind of have to understand why though, she just found out her partner - for thousands of years, is having a baby with one of their children. Her mind was blown and her emotions completely out of control. And with good reason.

Especially not the toaster.

falcon3268, In what ways, precisely? It wasn't as if she displayed an inward looking or recessive personality type before that occurred. From my perspective, she's simply communicating a desire here, to fully embrace her identity's true roots, not to become some big Kahuna. Her being straightforward and clear in advocating for that future doesn't matter, and I don't find anything objectionable about it.

Was the Professor involved, or was it Mr. Howell.

@@annoyed707, Maybe, it was Colonel Mustard, using a revolver, in the library.

Saul was always at his best when he was Ellen-free.

Yeah, writers evidently out of meaningful story ideas.

The ones they chose though, pretty much all of them were unexpected left hooks. They were so integral, that it was insane to find out that they weren't what even they believed themselves to be. It was an incredible plot twist.

That's a racist term besides human cylon models deserve pity there stupid and have no free will if they did there would be more like Sharon agathon Athena who said no to there programming

its possible, cavil cant reprogram himself not to sleep every, i think they mentioned that, in the PLAN or one of the episodes. I can imagine humanoid cylons dont need food or water since they used to have resurrection.

@@thehantavirus even if a Cylon doesn't eat or drink water during its existence and end up dying and being resurrected it would have taken food, er nutrients, and water to grow their replacement bodies in the first place just like a baby in a womb.

The Leobon said that they needed food, that's why he and his models wanted to side with the humans. I think the Cylons think they can grow their own food.

No they can't, but I guess their baseship has enough ressources and recycling abilities to run for extended periods of times, if not indefinitely if they can replenish from time to time.

ellen looks at what tigh did as bad, because it was his decision, without her. brewing a coffee not under the control of ellen is just as unacceptable as knocking up six, on the other hand, if he would asked her, she would even support to pair as long as she fancied it.

Because she’s the worst kind of controlling spouse-a hypocritical one.

Her relationship with Cavill though was theoretically so she could protect Saul and others that mattered to her - realizing that Cavill was hopelessly insane and capable of anything.

so was Tyrol and Boomer if you see it that way.

the sick thing is he really is old enough to be her dad. yuck!

Tammy Martinez you say that after knowing he is her “father” but he had no idea. When it happened he was a commanding officer of the fleet and Six has POW. Such things happen, unfortunately.

Convergent evolution.

Skinjobs were an attempt to emulate humanity that hit way too near the mark. The skinjobs destroyed the Cylons almost as much as they destroyed the Colonials.

I don't remember when he got the injury, but if that was after the destruction of the Resurrection hub, it's because resurrection is no longer an option, for any of the cylons.

This was after the destruction of the Cylon hub.

It’s nearly like they destroyed the resurrection ships, oh wait they did

actually they're more like genetically engineered humans with artificial organs, bone marrow and blood work. (effectively the discount versions of what mother nature actually provides over eons of evolution) .. so no not robots - but grown by robots as sleeper agents to infiltrate humanity ... or separately to act as leaders capable of mimicking the successful aspects of mankind to form their own robotic civilization

Sort of sad you believe so, this was one of the very best Sci-Fi series ever. I just watched "The Expanse" for the second time and I am honestly not sure which is better IMHO.

Couldn't agree more. That nonsense was due to them needing to cut production costs. The series was at its best during the expensive to make action scenes.

The only show I can say that I loved, then simply abandoned. I'll never watch seasons 3-4. Breaking their own lore to make established characters Cylons was beyond stupid.

But the whole Final 5 storyline was a convoluted mess, and the Tigh/Ellen backstory was the only time the showrunners asked me to truly suspend my belief. Angels I could buy into, Tigh and Ellen being ancient Cylons was an absurdity that took me out of the show.

Worst plot devices: it was all a dream, dead character supernatural so comes back to life, a character suddenly is out of character, and all preceding history and psychology is inconsistent (like the final five, a Deus ex machina).

@@suekoi3885 They are only the "worst" because they have been so overused to have become pedestrian. When Bob Newhart woke up next to Suzanne Pleshette, demonstrating that the entire series had been a dream sequence within his previous series, it was brilliant because it was new and unexpected. When St Elsewhere revealed that the entire series took place withiin a snowglobe, it too was something we had never seen. I agree with you within the context of 21st century lazy writing, but disagree vehemently as a general rule of using fantasy and dreams as plot devices, which are as old in cinema as The Wizard of Oz. (n the book, Dorothy REALLY went to Oz.) Also the entire Battlestar Galactica reboot was steeped in the spiritual. To not use it in regards to Starbuck's return would have been the waste of a plot device that had already been established... My problem with the Final Five is that they were called the "final five", whereas within the context of the story (especially from the point of vue of the Cylons, they should have been referred to as the "original five". They were only the Final Five in relation to their reveal order, which WAS lazy writing.

I think he was definitely the most divided of the five. On one hand, he had fought with Adama on Galactica for years, and had given blood sweat and tears to keep the ship going. On the other hand, he was never loyal to Adama like Tigh was. Not to mention his own wife tried to kill his son when he was revealed to be a Cylon. So he definitely had sympathies on both sides.

Dont even ask about Starbuck...

Six and Eight came over with Tory from the rebel Basestar.

Because only Helen has her full memories, the other 4 only partially.

@@user-yq3fz9ch5q Ellen didn't seem all that bright even after resurrection.

@@Hunpecked exactly, either off her Prozac, or in a drunken stupor.

Jesus M Chavez, That's a bit of an exaggeration to blame her. Caprica was at a loss to perceive the precise antecedents of what was going on between Saul and Ellen, so it's understandable that she would be upset by the rancorous dialogue. However, I think it's quite a stretch to conclude that Ellen purposefully wanted her to miscarry. In fact, it would directly contradict the reasoning of her decision to leave with the others on the Baseship, i.e., Cylon culture surviving going forward, via the birth of Caprica's baby.

Well then don't watch. Some of us don't have that problem and want to watch with others who appreciate.

I never understood too but I'll give it a shot maybe did they find a way to mimic a human reproduction system like some incubator genetic cloning?

Because they're biologically the same as humans. No metal parts or motherboards. They are strong, just under a centurian.

It's more of a Comrade-In-Arms love.

Saul loves Adama like a brother and comrade. And loves Ellen romantically. Nothing gay there. It just happens that he appreciates more his buddy than his troublesome wife, since she always dragged him down and Bill, on the contrary, helped him to stand up.

@@moteroargentino7944, Well, your last contention wasn't true every single time.
