Talk:Downloaded/Archive 1

If this episode has been dropped so Resurrection can be split into two, then aren't we still missing an episode? --Redwall 00:06, 21 November 2005 (EST)

Yes. --Peter Farago 01:14, 21 November 2005 (EST)

I've heard new rumors that this ISN'T the Cylon POV episode; that this episode covers the fate of Galactica-Sharon, but the "totally" Cylon POV episode was another one entirely. There may be hope yet. Besides, I think at the least Lawless has actually filmed scenes for it; I don't know if the one that was scrapped ever went past script phase.

RDM says in the downloaded that this is the cylon POV episode. Plus, theres no time left for one this season, the season finale starts next week. --Antagonist 17:52, 26 February 2006 (EST)

However, new developments: I got a link to a scan of the February edition of Scifi Magazine, in which they answer questions from the official messageboard: http://pics.livejournal.com/reedfem/pic/0008a1hf ---->I can't tell if Grace Park is being SARCASTIC or if she was serious. (BTW, like 5 of these questions are from me, notably the Blade Runner one, the Geena Davis one, and the "new evil Sharon?" one). --Ricimer 12:51, 5 December 2005 (EST)

Hmm, I'm pretty sure I saw a copy of Simon in the cafe on Caprica. I'm removing the "possibly archival footage" thing. --Mojorising1985 23:24, 24 February 2006 (EST)

They're saying it was a body double on TWOP. --Peter Farago 23:27, 24 February 2006 (EST)

It's possible it might have been a different actor. What does TWOP stand for? --Mojorising1985 23:31, 24 February 2006 (EST)

This episode was very good. I have one problem with it: Not Enough Leoben Conoy. Philwelch 23:37, 24 February 2006 (EST)

Yeah, I was suprised we didn't see him on Caprica. I mean, they even had Simon (or at least who I believe is Simon).

Someone claimed Leoben was on Caprica: where? I did not see him, though I will rewatch it. I will delete this info until it can be confirmed. --The Merovingian 00:58, 25 February 2006 (EST)

You're totally right... he wasn't there. Not sure why, but he wasn't. Drumstick 01:05, 25 February 2006 (EST)

The TWOPers found a body double wearing his miniseries costume here. (link to post) --Peter Farago 01:14, 25 February 2006 (EST)

• He was there. He walked by 6 several times, and was sitting in the cafe. You don't see his face because they couldn't get the actor. Kuralyov 01:15, 25 February 2006 (EST)

Blade Runner reference I about fell off the couch when the cylons were referred to as "skin jobs"--George w chomsky

Trust me, they know that we know. --The Merovingian 02:16, 25 February 2006 (EST)

Is it really Apollo in the picture of the Galactica crew that Sharon holds in her appartment? Because it's so small I can't be sure. --The Merovingian 05:30, 25 February 2006 (EST)

Can we get Roslin's "if I wanted to airlock a baby..." comment in the dialogue section? (both for its hilarity and the likelihood of it coming up later) I'd do it myself but I don't have a tape for the exact wording. --Redwall 14:09, 25 February 2006 (EST)

Added that quote. Maybe these two questions should be added as well, but I'd like to know how others think about it: - Why did Roslin eventually decide to have the baby adopted instead of killing it? Why Was Baltar not notified of the baby being kept alive? Roslin never shared her suspicions of Baltar being a Cylon sympathizer. Were Admiral Adama and Col. Tigh even notified of this? --Gen00b 16:26, 25 February 2006 (EST)

Check the Analysis sections: Roslin has no real "evidence" against Baltar, so she's not going to bring her suspicions into the open yet. --The Merovingian 17:48, 25 February 2006 (EST)

That's my point, really. Roslin didn't even inform her vice-president. Even if she's doing it because of the presidential elections it wouldn't make sense, because Baltar seems opposed to abortion (and so he could use the accusation of Roslin being a baby killer against her).... --Gen00b 06:01, 26 February 2006 (EST)

Actually, I think Roslin didn't tell Baltar far more because she suspects he's involved with the Cylons, than because she's worried about the election. --The Merovingian 12:59, 2 March 2006 (CST)

After viewing the episode I have one serious question, where did they get a "fake" baby to fool Sharon 2 and Helo? A parent would notice if the body wasn't their own child. While a friend of mine suggested body used was resultant of the offscreen abortion from "The Captains Hand", this wouldn't work, as that fetus was only 4 months along, and would have been far less developed, and only 1/3rd the size (approx.) of baby Hera. Is their a master Wax Sculpter somewhere in the fleet?--Strato

I don't think there's a canonical answer yet (and there may never be one). Some people have speculated that they use the baby of Hera's new adoptive mother (who mentioned that she had recently lost a child). At any rate, I think at this point they're all guesses (though the fumarella leaf origami theory hasn't gained much headway recently). --Steelviper 12:22, 2 March 2006 (CST)

Lucy Lawless character's name

Last episode, she was "D'Anna Biers"; this episode we find out that her Cylon name is "Number Three". In dialog, she actually constantly refers to herself as "Three" "Number Three", etc. (well, they don't actually say "Number" aloud, but still). The scifi.com episode guide credits her for "Downloaded" as "D'Anna" but I think that's just miscommunication/they're easing into calling her "Number Three". Either way, I think we here on the wiki consider her "Number Three" now more because A) it is cooler, B) individual Cylons can have fake human names, but this refers to the individual, not the model. I.e. "Galactica-Three" = D'anna, but other Threes do not. Thoughts?--The Merovingian 14:42, 2 March 2006 (CST)

I see you noticed my change. :) My thought on this was that we should refer to the specific character (i.e. the model with Galactica's fleet) as D'anna. ALl others should be Three or Number Three (the single number would bemore preferable). I liked how in the beginning of the episode synopsis she is referred to by her "D'anna" guise, but as soon as we find out her model number, she's referred to by that exclusively. It lets our reader know that THIS was the moment of change. Joe McCullough 14:53, 2 March 2006 (CST)

Yes, that's what I intended when I wrote it. --The Merovingian 14:55, 2 March 2006 (CST)

An excellent plan... Joe McCullough 15:00, 2 March 2006 (CST)
