I removed the 'Cylon agent' label, as Hera is only half-Biocylon and certainly not, at the present time, an agent working for the Cylons. 3/2/2006 21:24 P.M. by Noneofyourbusiness
- That's why, when I did a preliminary write up, I didn't check off "Cylon agent" by putting "y", but left "???" question marks, hoping someone would get to deciding on this eventually.
- Yes, but unfortunately that still caused the article to say 'Cylon agent'.--Noneofyourbusiness 20:35, 16 March 2006 (EST)
Frankly, I had the wacky idea that we should consider the Hybrids a third race with their own article, but this didn't meet with much support, and as Hera is the only current Hybrid, it doesn't make a lot of sense just yet. --The Merovingian 23:10, 2 March 2006 (CST)
- That makes perfect sense to me. The hybrids are definitionally different, and hugely important. Still, you are correct....not a whole lot to say about them just yet. --Felix Culpa 21:06, 16 March 2006 (CST)
Someday, she will grow up to become one of the main characters of the reimagined series. -- John-1107 17:19, 5 March 2006 (CST)
- Anyone think we should put a cap of her very-cool debut in the Cylon Baby Commercial? --Sauron18 5 March 2006
character name
"Isis" is the greek name of an Egyptian goddess. It's interesting that Maya would name her so. It's probably nothing, but since tha writers like to play games with names and callsigns, could it have any significance? Isis was associted with several Greek goddesses by Plutarch and Herodotus.

- Both Hera and Isis are mother goddesses--Noneofyourbusiness 20:36, 16 March 2006 (EST)
Silent Baby
Anyone notice how unnaturally silent Hera is? I mean, Roslin and Maya trust her to be silent enough to take her to every class they teach (judging by the crib being in the school). Is this possibly due to her Cylon nature? I thought it interesting to notice.--Sauron18 14:15 June 06, 2006
- Now that you bring it up, Hera is now a toddler, which means she should be walking about (or trying to) and should be more alert that what I remember in the show. A year-old in a crib is usually an invitation for noise: toddlers are explorers and don't like to be restrained as much. I don't necessarily agree with your comment--not all babies are vocal or cry for no reason--but it's an interesting take. --Spencerian 14:39, 6 June 2006 (CDT)
- Well it's true, every baby is different, but I think that under those conditions (lots of noise, cold) a baby would normally not be as tolerant. I don't know, maybe she isn't silent because she's a Cylon, but she feels the noise and cold less because she's a Cylon. Could be either, I'll investigate further on babies that age.--Sauron18 15:54 June 06, 2006
Guys....we've seen this baby post-birth for a combined total of 5 minutes of screentime; that's not much to judge her behavior on. She's not particularly silent. --The Merovingian (C - E) 15:56, 6 June 2006 (CDT)
- And she was a premee too. Sometimes premees have to have a little extra time to develop to catch up with the time missed in the womb. --StrayCat0 15:49 June 06, 2006 PST
No superaging like in other scifi shows
From the website "http://www.geos.tv/index.php/article/bg2/1727?PHPSESSID=fa1d0b29c7298d00dffc9cd8929330ca" quoting an interview with David Eick and Ron Moore with Michael Ausiello from TV Guide, I have the following quote: "Probably one of the most interesting developments of the series is the birth of the Cylon hybrid, little Hera/Isis (seen at the end of Season 2). Although she will not age rapidly (as has been done in other sci-fi series), she will probably possess "physiological differences that make this child different than a human child." The rumors posted on the boards that another hybrid child will be born on New Caprica have proven to be false. There will only be the Hera/Isis hybrid baby, although a new type of Cylon will be shown in Episode 305." I haven't verified this against TV Guide's website and I don't necesarily know how much of this could be placed in the article page. I was thinking that there was something with the "physiological differences that make this child differnt than a human child" part. Anyways, fruitful for discussion maybe. --StrayCat0 14:09 June 29, 2006 PST
- This really doesn't need to be worked into the article (kind of why I didn't do it myself when I read that), but yeah they've repeatedly said they aren't going to do what "V" did and make it grow faster. The "new Cylon" is not a "hybrid" like the Human/Cylon Hybrid, but a "hybrid" in the sense that it's kind of the intermediate stage between Centurion and biomechanical humanoid Cylon, an earlier model. That will be interesting, but not to be confused with the Hybrids. --The Merovingian (C - E) 17:19, 29 June 2006 (CDT)
- As a true irrelevancy, "Angel" also rapidly aged a child. --CalculatinAvatar(C-T) 19:32, 29 June 2006 (CDT)
