Yeah - I am in guthmund. Something is rotten in Caprica when it comes to Adama. Not sure what it is either. I want him to be more of the shepard that I knew from the OG series, but still be a badass. No sympathy for Cylons Adama. Remember: they have a plan.

I also was pretty sure that Xena was a Cylon (and now I can't remember her name on the show but will join you in calling her that since it is better). Six sealed it for me too. Yellow journalism serves many purposes that is for sure. More social commentary for us on the fleet.

This brings up an interesting point though as far as the fleet is concerned. We pretty much have to assume that all these "skin jobs" were already on the fleet when it was formed. Now the Cylons really could not know that the Galactica would survive along with the other random ships that make up the fleet. So we have quite a few who have been represented on board the ship.

Sharon
Six
Leoben (they found another one after killing the first one right)
Reporter Guy (Doral?)
Xena

So think about this: I don't know that you could have more than one Sharon in the fleet - they might notice. Maybe you could hide a couple more copies in the general populace of the colonies that are pretty far apart. A case could be made for her surviving and joining up with any straglers no matter what in her Raptor. But for the other ones you would have to have lots of copies all over the place. They don't seem to be in communication with each other unless they are talking. So to get at least 5 copies on board various ships among 48,000 or so and if there are 12 different models you would have to have them all over the place before the shooting started.

That being the case, you would think you would have to have too many to make it work. Almost to the point that you would be in constant danger of having duplicates in the same general vicinity or circle. Moreover, with only 48k people, you would know who each of them were. The cylons would have to make sure that all duplicates were eliminated early on.

Lots of thoughts here but:

- The Cylons plan would need to be very complicated to do this with specific ships including the Gallactica surviving.
- They know the scriptures very well but clearly can't find Earth themselves
- They won't let the fleet rest and think they can hide or settle down anywhere (which is odd - not sure why the fleet is so sold on Earth rather than a more obscure planet somewhere)

To me this means that Adama (and or the President) is either a Cylon Pawn with an important role to play or a Cylon himself. Hope you followed that.

PS - I would have been horrible from that line of thought during the Red Scare or the Salem Witch hunts.
