*It appears that, in season 3, everything that's happened to [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]] since his election has served (from a dramatic or storytelling perspective) to strip away his arrogance. Particularly the suicide attempt provoked by [[Cylon-Related Hallucinations#Baltar's Internal Six|internal Six]] in [[Taking a Break From All Your Worries]]. -- 21:08, 30 January 2007 (CST) | *It appears that, in season 3, everything that's happened to [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]] since his election has served (from a dramatic or storytelling perspective) to strip away his arrogance.

*In [[Exodus, Part I]] it was mentioned that the Cylons are stretching their resources thin. I suspect that the Cylons are at either in a civil war (likely between the earlier and later models, although possibly between two divergent branches) or at war with some other civilization. I suspect that they destroyed the Twelve Colonies because they were paranoid about the possibility of fighting a war on two fronts. -- 21:56, 30 January 2007 (CST) | *In [[Exodus, Part I]] it was mentioned that the Cylons are stretching their resources thin.

*[[Ronald D. Moore]] has stated that there are already hints in aired episodes pointing to the last member of the final five.

*If one of the [[Final Five]] dies, their consciousness will be transmitted to the nearest Resurrection Ship. It is likely that this will result in either transmission to the nearest resurrection facility with an appropriate body (either on the Cylon homeworld or in one of the hypothetical Final Five fleet's resurrection ships) or the boxing of the consciousness and an error message transmitted up the Cylon hierarchy. -- 01:23, 18 May 2007 (CDT) | *If one of the [[Final Five]] dies, their consciousness will be transmitted to the nearest Resurrection Ship.

These "Cylon elders" from the early production run(s) are likely candidates for the Cylon leadership. -- 04:14, 28 March 2007 (CDT) | *All twelve of the humanoid Cylon models were around during the Cylon War, and some or all of them may have been around earlier.
