'''The Toaster''' is a device on Earth | '''The Toaster''' is a device on Earth reknowned for its ability to make the popular breakfast food served with butter, jelly, eggs, or other confection. Toasters come in two, four, or even six-slot models. | ||
[[ | [[Image:Centurion_armor_old.jpg|thumb|left|A Cylon Centurion, which technically cannot make toast, but is known for toasting Colonies.]] | ||
The laudable term is also used as the nickname that the Colonials have for the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]], due to the fact that the original models resembled "walking chrome toasters" because of their highly reflective metal bodies | The laudable term is also used as the nickname that the Colonials have for the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]], due to the fact that the original models resembled "walking chrome toasters" because of their highly reflective metal bodies ([[Miniseries]]). [[Cylon-Related_Hallucinations#Baltar.27s_Internal_Six|Number Six]] and [[Helo]] have both expressed that they consider "Toaster" to be an offensive racial epithet ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]], [[Flight of the Phoenix]]). | ||
The reference implies that toasting bread and other foods was just as enjoyable on the [[Twelve Colonies]] as on Earth. | |||
Ironically enough, it was the use of a toaster to make breakfast that drew the Cylon "toasters" attention to Helo's fallout shelter ([[You Can't Go Home Again]]). | |||
It can also be said that the Colonials enjoyed the act of shopping for toasters. [[CAG]] [[Lee Adama]] enthusiastically made a point about shopping for toasters on [[Original Battlestar (RDM)|battlestar]] ''[[Galactica]]'', after the electricity (an important element for any toaster) went haywire ([[Valley of Darkness]]). | |||
It should also be noted that a few [http://www.hammacher.com/publish/72500.asp# elite model] toasters have been known to communicate by sending or receiving "waves." | |||
