| There is another possible explanation for Caprica-Six's pregnancy, maybe the [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThePowerOfLove love theory] is correct, perhaps Cylon have some sort of biological failsafe to prevent them from breeding in the wrong circumstances. -- [[User:Gordon Ecker|Gordon Ecker]] 02:57, 30 May 2008 (UTC) | | There is another possible explanation for Caprica-Six's pregnancy, maybe the [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThePowerOfLove love theory] is correct, perhaps Cylon have some sort of biological failsafe to prevent them from breeding in the wrong circumstances. -- [[User:Gordon Ecker|Gordon Ecker]] 02:57, 30 May 2008 (UTC) |

| : Considering that this episode takes place during the time frame when the Cylons are out of resurrection range, there are two other possibilities. One, that the ability to resurrect is the cause of their inability to reproduce, and when Cylons are out of range (which they rarely choose to be), they can successfully reproduce biologically. Another, more basic explanation is that the Final Five were somehow intentionally separated from the seven because one from each group is necessary to reproduce, and whatever caused them to split and not speak of the Final Five did this intentionally.

| ::It should be noted that when Helo impregnated Sharon Agathon, she was almost certainly in resurrection range. --~~

| :::True, but Helo is not a Cylon, as far as we know. -- [[User:Dharadvani|Dharadvani]] 07:19, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

| :''Pegasus'' left its entire air wing behind to guard the residual fleet, hence the need for suicidal tactics at the Battle of New Caprica. --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 18:42, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

| == Is Tigh definately the father? ==

| | |
| Tigh and Adama assume that Tigh is the father, but is that necessarily so? --[[User:SSH|SSH]] 16:45, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

| :I think we had this discussion before, but the server reset deleted it. Basically, all indications are yes. Caprica-Six has been in the holding cell for months (so was not pregnant before). Access to her was limited (consider Romo in [[Crossroads, Part I]]), and even fewer people would have had the authority to turn the cameras off. Although it's a common cliché in fiction for the father not to be who you think it is, such a revelation in this case would be a large, and rather unnecessary stretch IMO.

| == Missing Pilots. ==
| |
| | |
| This article states that the two missing pilots were most likely lost in a scene that was filmed but cut. I however, thought that Starbuck was referring to the two vipers shown when scouting Sector Delta 9. This would make sense, as the scene occurs after the discovery of Sandman's viper and the additional Mark II, and, while the fates of Galactica's other pilots aboard the Rebel Baseship are still unknown, the crew has tangible proof of two deceased or at least MIA pilots from this evidence. Thoughts? [[User:Pentagonal Deception|Pentagonal Deception]] 20:26, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

| :That doesn't really make sense with the dialogue in the scene:
| |
| ::Adama: Have the Raptors and the civilian ships begin the search from Phantom's last known position...Is that a problem?
| |
| ::Thrace: Sir, respectfully... I've already got two missing pilots and hardly enough birds left to protect this Fleet. Now you're asking me to send the remainder of the Raptors out on a blind search, looking for a ship that very well may have been destroyed.
| |
| | |
| :First, Adama orders her to continue searching from the location of a specific pilot. He wouldn't say this if he were talking about the battle site. Second, they appear to be talking about a search party, which means Raptors. Third, the pilots on the rebel baseship are already missing; all of them. They appear to be talking about additional missing people, specifically about people directly under Thrace's command at that point. Sure, far from definite, but that's the most likely scenario IMHO. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 18:48, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

| | |
| :Perhaps, but it was my opinion that Phantom was code for the Rebel Baseship, not a specific pilot's callsign. The dialogue would support this, as Kara's point of contention is that Adama is asking her to risk additional pilots to search for a ship that very well may already be destroyed. Therefore, Adama is ordering Thrace to begin searching starting from their last known, most likely Sector Delta 9. Thrace is reluctant to comply, as the crew already has definite word of two pilots separated from their birds, and this would obviously be detrimental to moral, most likely more so than the other pilots aboard the baseship, whose fates are not yet certain. I don't see the search party connection from the dialogue quoted. Yes, they are talking about sending out the additional Raptors, however, there is nothing in the quote to suggest that it is another party that was lost. I can see how this issue is so vague, there were a lot of unexplained and ambiguous issues in the dialogue of SQN. Guess we'll have to wait for the season 4 DVD or the podcast to know for sure.[[User:Pentagonal Deception|Pentagonal Deception]] 19:06, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

| == Zarek's statement==
| |
| | |
| Just how accurate is Zarek's statement that he's the only public official to have been voted in legally? While he did win an election as Baltar's running mate, he resigned the Presidency and was appointed Vice-President by Roslin, so technically he's not currently in office through an election. In addition, the "appointment-resignation-appointment" trick that created the current administration appears to have been completely legal, albeit highly unusual. If Zarek's statement is somewhat inaccurate, maybe it should be mentioned in the Analysis. [[User:Dallan007|Dallan007]] 06:48, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
