Also, this has the prettiest theme tune I've ever heard.
Guess what - apparently the American version is different. The network insisted that this was too depressing for American watchers and said it should be more uplifting. So the vocals were removed.
They want him alive, for... something? Is he supposed to lead them back to the fleet? If so, does Caprica!Boomer know she's a Cylon?
Both questions are answered within the season, though the first later rather than sooner. But you'll know by the time you finish the CDs.*g*
And yeah, she probably shouldn't be covering up for herself, but I can't completely blame her.
Same here. Volunteering to say "I think I could be a Cylon, please arrest me" would truly be superhuman. Especially given that Boomer must know how the last Cylon suspect ended up. The fate of the next Cylon to be found out isn't very encouraging to accuse herself, either.
Yes, the Cylon plan goes beyond "wipe out humanity" now. Again, season finale. At least for one major part of the plan. Though there was one clever clue in a Balter/Six conversation in an episode you already saw.
Speaking of Baltar, imo he's the one character we can be 100% sure of is NOT a Cylon. Firstly, that would have made Six' original mission superfluous. Secondly, I take it you assume he (the original Baltar) died in the blast and the one currently running around is a copy who doesn't know he's a Cylon. Again, I don't think so, both for internal and meta reasons. Internal reasons are that as of now we have no reason to assume the Cylons can actually copy existing human beings. If they could, there would presumably not be only twelve human-looking models. The big meta reason is that Baltar, in the original BSG, was the human who sold out the human race. (He also was a dull evil overlord, but anyway.) New BSG Baltar is someone more complex, and he had not intended the original sell-out, but he's still fulfilling the Judas/Ephialtes/Skylla role in the mythic narrative. This would not work were he a Cylon himself.
Moreover, what would be the emotional impact of "oh, Baltar is a sleeper agent"? Zilch. Mind you, I think (that's not a spoiler, just speculation) that we're going to find out someone other than Boomer on the Galactica is a Cylon sleeper agent as well, but as with Boomer, it's going to be a "nice" character. Billy perhaps, or Gaeta (he plots the jumps, and that would explain a lot), or Cally, though I think it's going to be a male.
