I love that when I saw that, it was almost like asking a one handed man to clap. Brother Cavell too me is becoming the most interesting and most human like Cylon.

It went well with the moment later on when the Cylon's offered Baltar back to the humans, and Baltar's lament that he missed the company of humans when he arrived back on the Galactica. He's rapidly becoming very lonely.

I thought Adama was in that decision concerning Hera, guess I missed something there. We know that there is some heat between the two of them on a personal level of the gushy kind. But they've never seen eye to eye on a professional level. Adama has been a good commander from the point of view of putting his people first.

I doubt that she will betray humanity, but I can see her taking a Raptor and sneaking over to the Cylon's and selling her soul to hold her kid again.

Definitely shot around Kamloops.

That reminds me of the old bar line: "Sure I'm married honey, but I don't have to be a fanatic about it." I am now ready to thow a party upon seeing her horribly mangled body in the wreckage.

I'm really trying to see the one redeemable character point with her, but its just not there. If you were to compare her, she'd be the most Cylon of the humans. There has to be a spiritual moment, or a redemption where Starbuck hits rock bottom or she becomes a 1D spoiled brat of a character who's completely unlikable.

We know that Starbuck has a roving eye, but Anders is pretty much like a drug addict with her, and the rescue is a metaphor for saving her soul. I have no doubt that Ander's will become the Galactica's red shirt and die on his way to save her. Lee will blame her for Ander's death and the rift will really deepen, considering it mirrors Lee's brothers death.

I doubt that we'll ever see the face of god in the series or the gods. however I do think that we will see the faces of the Cylon's representing the gods that the human's worship. It amazes me in how the Cylon's mirror the greek gods.

6 is definately Aphrodite, the temptress who was also the protector of sailors (human's).

Sharon would ironically be Hera, the mother godess, compassionate but jealous and vindictive at the same time.

Brother Cavill would be the god of war ares, nasty and always in a state of brutality and blood lust.

The doctor Cylon would be Apollo, the god of healing and prophesy.

Lucy Lawless's Cylon would be Artemis, the goddess of childbirth who also had a fierce temper and would bring death with her arrows.

The scumy unshaven Cylon would be Hermes who was the puralator courier to the gods and a guide for dead souls, but was also a notorios prankster.

So who's missing, who are the last 5?

Of course we're missing the Zeus figure, the god of gods, angry jealous but with a roving eye, but considered to be the creator of creators. Possibly the first of the human looking Cylons.

Hephastus was the god of fire and craft but was lame and driven to distraction by Hermes and his pranks. Might we see the flawd but brilliant cylon (Baltar if he is one would fit this role perfectly)

Poseidon The god of the seas, who constantly fought change with the gods and was jealous of his own domain.

Hades The god of the dead who dwelt away from the other gods in his own underworld.

PAN - The shunned god because of his appearance as a half goat half man, but was the peacemaker among the gods with his easy listening afternoon drive music.

Anyways, I think if we're going to see the faces of the Cylons, its all of the Cylons who represent the gods. But I don't know if I believe that the 5 are hidden among the humans at the moment, but might have broken off with the Cylon's to go to Earth, which would explain at least part of the greek mythos and roman mythos.
