One of Six
"One of Six" was better than the premiere.
Here are my first thoughts:
Here are my first thoughts:
There are many moments and lines that I loved like Cavil's "they are tools, not pets" and "I'm machine enough to admit that I was wrong!". Although there were bits of dialogues in the episode that I couldn't understand. Please articulate!
What's Cavil's number by the way? Now we know that Leoben is a Two. Mmm Leoben...I hope we'll see more of him.
Bill Adama is drinking more than Saul Tigh used to.
Tory still has hair issue., yet not as serious as Laura's. Sorry dark humour here.
The hybrid still "vomits metaphysics" and says that "transformation is the goal" for they won't turn against their own. Perhaps the hybrid is clueless.
Boomer still betrays the people she's supposed to belong to, in this case the Eights. She turned against her own!
Kara still annoys me. I know there are Katee fans out there but I do think she keeps overplaying.
I liked how fragile and afraid Laura Roslin looked in the opening scene. But don't shoot anyone when you're without your glasses, silly woman! She only managed to damage the frame showing a picture of Bill and her...:- ) I like those little details (like Saul shooting Bill in the eye in the previous eppy). Bill nailed it when he said that she was afraid to die and that her death "might be as meaningless as anyone's else"! Cruel but true.
Poor Laura. Kara Thrace is a brat.
And I loved the Doctor Baltar and Mr Gaius scene. It so makes sense that now he keeps seeing himself. He used to be considered a genius. Like a rock star he picked women he wanted to shag until he became obsessed with Caprica – that obsession being the result of a mix of lust and guilt since she used him to annihilate mankind– so she was in his head for a while. Now he's been worshipping by people who see him as a prophet. What a boost for Gaius' ego ! At the same time he's in introspection mode, he's been found not guilty yet in the previous he thinks he deserves death for what he did.
No wonder he's obsessed with, haunted by himself now.
The shot of Gaius/Tory sex was very kamasutra-like.Tory shows her foot but doesn't want to flash her boobs. Can we say that Gaius is definitely really intimate with the Cylons?
I was right! Lee is going to work for Zarek !!!!! Tom Zarek must be the Fifth.
I have never been happy about the romantic Kara/Lee 'ship but I didn't dislike the Lee/Kara kiss and I found the Lee/Dee scene quite touching too. Lee has depth at last! And Jamie Bamber was good in the Farewell scene. It was nice to see Apollo shaking hand with Athena and I liked the Lee/Karl hug. But who wouldn't want to be hugged by Helo?
I'm still a bit confused in regard to Helo's rank and function. He seems to be CAG now...and Tigh seems to be XO again yet it isn't that clear. I liked the fact that Bill trusted Helo when it comes to Kara.
Helo is damn sexy when he enters a room, carrying a box.
Six and her Centurions reminded me of the opening scene of the miniseries. A new war has begun, a civil war. "We're finish voting"...Mmmm the Cylon utopia is biting the dust. There are indeed turning into human beings.
But the Six are playing with fire. Beware of sentient Centurions! I wonder if Caprica is aware of what's going on...

Perhaps the original programmers that Cavill referred to dumbed down the Seven, just as he attempted to do with the Raiders, so they couldn't think about the Final Five. Equally, maybe someone out there in the universe flipped a switch, just like the Six did for the Centurions, and gave the Final Five their self-awareness.
I doubt Six's new regime will last long. The Colonials used Cylons to fight their battles for them, and it didn't take long for the Cylons to rebel. Now that these Centurions have higher brain functioning, perhaps they'll realise that they've been used as disposable cannon fodder for the last several years and turn on their masters.
All this has happened before, and all of it will happen again.... :-)
As for the Cylon numbering scheme, this episode finally answered it all. As far as I can make out:
1 - Cavill
2 - Leoben
3 - D'Anna
4 - Simon
5 - Doral
6 - Six/Gina/Shelley etc.
8 - Sharon
Of course there's a number seven missing, but I think that's probably due to the fact that back when the whole Cylon number thing began, the writers may not have thought up the concept of the seperate five Cylons.
As for wanting to see more of Leoben, I sort of suspect we will. Logically, the Leoben-Six-Sharon's would box their enemies, so perhaps it'll be a while (if at all) that we see Cavill, Simon and Doral again.
