      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

    Was it just loyalty for Saul at that point?

Pure Cylon pure Human, both hadn't worked, both ended in the same disaster. Putting all ones faith in the hybrid child was a bit of a stretch, but at least it was something new.

    Ellen's natural vindictiveness made her completely deaf to the circumstances.
    1) as far as Saul knew, she was DEAD when he hooked up with Caprica Six
    2) Saul had no idea his relation to Caprica Six, so initial shock is understandable, but continuing to pound the point home as if Saul knew was her bitterness.
    Maybe - just maybe - Ellen being that vengeful, spiteful piece of work is why they couldn't have kids, and not whether or not Saul loved her or not. She may have regained her 13th Colony memories, but she was still the same old Ellen.

    As someone else pointed out:
    Did Saul have any idea what his relationship to Six was when she got pregnant?
    Saul thought Ellen was dead when he was sleeping with Six.
    My memory of the series is vague, but wasn't Ellen doing Cavil while she was held on the base ship? Isn't that the same thing? Or worse, since not only is Cavil technically her son, but he is also kind of the reincarnation of her father, so Ellen was kind of doing both her son AND her dad at the same time?
    Ellen is going on about how all they need is Six's baby, and yet Ellen is the one who destroy's Six's belief in Saul, leading to her losing the baby.
    As someone else pointed out, Saul was seeing the big picture, that they needed something more than just human or just cylon.
    Ellen was just being pure vindictive because Saul's world didn't revolve around her, which is ironic because she was worse than anything she thought he was guilty of.

      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.

      @@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.

      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.

      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.

    Thank you, Ellen for causing a miscarriage.... I mean, oh poor Caprica 6 and the baby XD

      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.

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

    This show never made any sense to me, it leaves logic out in the cold.
    It assumes a machine intelligence vastly superior to our own would have all the failings we do.
    For our limited cognition, belief is necessary, we cannot comprehend (or remember), much at any one time, so we need to take things on faith.
    For a powerful sentient AI that is not the case, it would be able to asses the situation instantly, factoring in new data in real time.
    Being pigheaded and prideful, would be obviously idiotic.
    That's just my two cents.

      The Cylons are 5 years old, throwing a tantrum, if the 5 yrs Olds had nukes
      They neither have a plan nor stability.

    Personally I think it's bad writing that everyone in the room except the doctor is a cylon. It just shows that they kept trying to use the same gimmick again and again even when they shouldn't have.

      It's bad writing that everyone in the room is a cylon when the cylons are having a meeting about the future of the cylons
      Is it bad when all the people in the room are human having a conversation about the future of humanity
