I disagree.
At this stage the fact that we can wonder and theorise and make up our own solutions to all these questions is great. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Granted, if it doesn't get picked up for a second season, or if there are NEVER any answers, it could get a little tedious.

Yet another fantastic ep tricia helfer and jamie callies are really 2 brilliant actors whether there together or not, Shame appollo only had a tiny amount of lines yet again but thats what happens when you have a large cast.
The toilet scence was just fantastic i was laughing quite a bit, but I wasnt to sure of the roslin/baltar conversation when he was locked up then the quick turn around at the end I wouldve liked to have seen something more confentational like her apologising to him 1 to 1 before they went out to the press.
Despite that another great ep.

It makes you wonder whether it's all a simulation was it #6 who did that to Boomer's locker?

Her programming was certainly beggining to come through when she was around the downed raider she didnt care that the chief was there.

Hmmmm....dunno. Bit of an odd episode for me that one. Ok, but, a bit of an enigma.

How about Adama's ability to sort out that something is wrong with "Shelly Godfrey" (nice last name, huh? a little homage to Mary Shelley plus a reference to the evangelism of Six?) based on something in her kiss?! What's that all about? I mean, they don't know that one of the cylon models specializes in sex and intimacy, right? So what tipped the hand about Shelly? She had a pass at him and then he gave her this look like he was going to eat her liver with fava beans and then sicced Tigh on her out of suspicion. Did I miss something?

I think it was more the fact that someone as dam nice as 6 was coming onto an old ugly git like adama ;D
Seruiously I don't know It may have been the things she said/what she did or the fact that he trusted baltar more, remember it would have been quite conveniant for the other doc to give "Shelly GODfrey" that disk right before he died.

. Growing frustrated with the lack of answers. I hope they don't fall into the same trap that eventually killed The X-Files. Gotta agree - if they keep on spinning out more questions they are going to start loosing some threads! And that is just going to annoy the hell out of me. Not that I didn't enjoy it but where is the casino! i.e. an episode that is just a see the bad guy shoot the bad guy because my brain is starting to hurt. Starting to think Mr Moore has overly projected the intelligence (or at least my IQ) of his audience.......

The thing I find intriguing, and maybe this is a theme that's appeared elsewhere in sci-fi, but think about how Baltar represents the so-called "Advanced" thoughts on religion, that is, that there are people who think that only "idiots" and "the brain-dead" would have faith in God. The Cylons, however, are soulless machines, but they in turn seem to exhibit faith and encourage faith in God, the machine teaches the human, the child is father to the man.
Now we know that the Colonials as a whole, have "gods" that they believe in, but the Cylons refer to "God" as the only God there is.
So when it all comes down to it, is this series a holy war? A war between montheistic cylons and pantheistic colonials?
Or...is the god that belongs to the Cylons, merely trying to use them to bring the humans back to him?
Either way, it's pretty intriguing.

The look on Tyrols face when Boomer was "bonding" with the raider was priceless - you could hear the cogs whirring in his head. I have sneaking suspicion it was him who left the message on her locker - what pills was she taking?

. Growing frustrated with the lack of answers. I hope they don't fall into the same trap that eventually killed The X-Files. Yes that is a potential hazzard, still last nites episode was worth it for "no more Mr nice Guyus". Nearly every show follows a formula with padding episodes. eg Star Trek with the holdeck, however I am yet to spot a pattern with BSG TNS and that is probably one of the reasons I like so much. The 4400 on the other hand might well have been called "Bride of the X-Files" If the Baltar storyline is such it seems a better way to pad out the show than having them nearly walk into a Cylon trap disguised as a casino every other episode.
