Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mark Hope" data-source="post: 4153081" data-attributes="member: 27051">There is also the fact that Baltar's cylon test did actually work.  He just lied about the results (and then altered the test anyway) so no-one thinks it works, when actually it does.As for the episode, me and the gf both loved it.  I was particularly pleased to hear a reference to the Tomb of Athena and the star-projection that the characters saw there.  It suggests again to me that the ancestors of the colonists left Earth and founded Cobol (which is why the star-map in the Tomb matches the view from Earth - whoever made it would have had to have been to Earth or come from there in the first place.)After the fall of Cobol, it seems likely to me that the 13th tribe went back to Earth, following the path they had taken from there to reach Cobol in the first place.  Like other posters, I strongly suspect that cylons were made on Cobol in some form, or possibly even back on Earth.  I also feel that Starbuck is involved with the Beings of Light from the original series.  Maybe they are the very first cylons or something like that.  I certainly think that the Beings of Light are connected somehow to the virtual "in the head" versions of Six, Baltar and Leoben.  Virtual Six outright claims to be an angel, iirc, and virtual Leoben says that he never really was Leoben at all.  Maybe they really are angels of some sort.Next episode can't come too soon!</blockquote>
