What happens when cylons download? This episode centers around Caprica Six and Boomer as they become "heroes of the cylon" Meanwhile, on Galactica, Sharon gives birth to Hera. hide show
This was an episode I had been waiting for. BSG had great stories up til this point but very little done from the cylon point of view. There were always small bits on Caprica during the Helo/Sharon storyline but it was nice to see the show get into more detail.
How resurrection works and the consequences of reawakening with all of your memories make this one of my favorites. I found it interesting that as Caprica Six and Boomer were embracing a more human approach that Roslin was forced to go a more cold and calculating approach with Hera.
Great twist with Six having a head Baltar. I'm hoping that at some point we learn the real purpose of the "head" characters.
A different point of view... hide show
I love the way this episode had a totally new point - the whole Cylon in Carpica thing - "our" Sharon not giving up her old life and still believing.. It was great to see and Number Six - having her ghost as Gaius has his ghost. What a great twist.
And when those two - cylons who really were different met and what happens - I have no idea what they two will do but whatever it will be, it will be amazing.
And then things on fleet - Sharron's baby is born and president makes decision what is logical- and how they all took it..
Very Interesting Episode. hide show
This storyline is an interesting break from the usual storyline we are used to seeing in the first season. In this episode we get to Six on Caprica. She is the original model which seduced Baltar into giving her access to the Colonial Defense Networks that resulted in the destruction of the colonies. This happened all the way back the original pilot episodes. For her actions she is now heralded and named Caprica Six. What also great is the Sharon model that shot Admiral Adama is also in this episode. We get to see what the cylon perspective on the war and how the cylons are living in their conquered territories. What neat is how there is a Baltar Imprint on Caprica Six the same way Six is talking to Baltar on other episodes. It's a change of scenery but really worth watching as there is a few surprises.
My Favorite Episode. hide show
This is actually my favorite episode of the series. Baltar and Six are my favorite characters and this episode is so pivotal in the developement of both Caprica Six and Sharon. The paranoia with the possibility of Sharon being boxed. The pure delicious evil of D'anna (#3 I think). The very beginning of the Neuro-Baltar. Notice how real Baltar is the first one to be vocally against Roslin's plans for Hera. This is the first real picture into Cylon life and the first time that we really see that Six did come to love Baltar. After the destruction of the Colonies all we have known is the Neuro-Six and she was, to understate, not always focused on showing Baltar love. Very suspensful episode and one that I have gone back to watch repeatedly.
