But it would have been nice if one of the <i>characters</i> (say, Baltar, what with his head for numbers and all) had asked the 'where's the seven?' question a little earlier. Engh. Doesn't bother me *that* much. Just a little bit rabbit out of the hat for my liking. True, the logical basis for a 7 was always there.

Considering what a shallow shadow of her former self Cavil turned her into by robbing her of her memories (and perhaps further tweaking her programming to dumb her down a bit) it certainly lends credence to the idea that Gaius could be Cavil's vision of Daniel.

As far as the extra Cylon model goes it's not totally out of the blue. We've know about models 1-6 + 8 for a while and had them all referred to by number, but the 7s were always a mystery until now. I'm definitely happy that despite all the recent revelations, there are still a lot of mysteries to be cleared up and theorize about. Jon Hodgman, the PC for the Apple commercials and now "the brain guy" occasionally writes for the New York Times Magazine and <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/17/magazine/17GALACTICA.html?_r=1" rel="nofollow">wrote a nice piece on Ron Moore and BSG</a> a few years back. Dan, thanks for stopping by.

The fact that the doctor called in to fix the Cylon exhibiting severe communication flakiness and all kinds of memory issues was the 'I'm A PC' guy? Sheer genius. I can only assume the writers are Mac people. Oh, also?

Not sure how I feel about this extra Cylon model - seems a little late in the game to pull this revelation out. Still, there's got to be some reason for the visions Baltar had and this seems as good an explanation as any. Makes me wonder if they'll show (in the limited time remaining) any of the other Cylon models having visions. As for Starbuck's resurrection? Maybe Ellen will reveal she built yet another model that hasn't been mentioned up until now. Hey Jason

Good thoughts on the Daniel/Baltar possibility. Not sure how I feel about this extra Cylon model – seems a little late in the game to pull this revelation out. Still, there’s got to be some reason for the visions Baltar had and this seems as good an explanation as any.

As for Starbuck’s resurrection? Maybe Ellen will reveal she built yet another model that hasn’t been mentioned up until now.
