Oh, right! I remember that radiation stuff from the mini now. Interesting. So it appears that there are some kind of physiological differences there.

But yeah. I would highly doubt that the Cylons would be all the same. They do not seem to have a shared consciousness. Therefore I think they are all very individual.

What is interesting is the fact that Sharon mentioned that she is not “wired” – which suggest that they might be “wired” sometimes. It is possible that they are able to “sync up” their minds when needed.

Ok, first off you have soooooo much right even with seeing the show just part way.

For the technical side: How can you tell them apart.. Baltar created a detector (part way bsing, part way getting ideas through six) which detected Boomer as a cylon so it likely works. Now, he switched it to detect everyone as human for fear of finding a real cylon and getting himself killed.

They have also been shown to be vulnerable to certain kinds of radiation from the mini. I don’t rightly remember what Ragnar Station had that made them sick, but it ‘clogged up with pathways’ so they must have some kind of mechanical stuff inside.

For the esoteric side: I have really liked the comparison to twins the most when it comes to cylons. In particular after this last episode with Apollo’s ‘you are all the same’ to which Sharon replies ‘you don’t know what you are talking about’. I think there is only one Sharon that wouldn’t kill them all on a whim and that’s this one. She’s unique because of her experiences with Helo.

I adore that Adama pointed out ‘love is just thoughts’ because given that… she loves Helo, even if its with software.

The mini and the episode ‘Flesh and Bone’ may be ones you would want to see to get a better feel on what makes cylons different.

As for the preview and is Sharon a good guy… previews are very smartly cut and Sharon is on whatever side keeps her and Helo safe.
