That was more just watching how their characters behaved in those circumstances. They had no knowledge of their true nature. What were the actions they would take as human beings in those situations, given who their characters were? That’s how they developed. It was the irony of the fact that they were all fundamentally involved in the resistance against the Cylons was interesting to us.
WARNING: Spoilers about the first episode, which already aired, yet you may have not seen. So check it out if you’ve seen it.

This is starting to sound like a soap-series instead of a sci-fi-show.
It’s weird to know that something as dramatic as the ‘last’ traitor is decided at random instead of fixed as part of the overall story-arc …
I’m very satisfied/interested in the direction they took
I was somewhat disappointed with some of the decisions they made with the episode and with the story arcs, but with what Ron Moore says in the interview, it make a little more sense now, and I can’t wait to see next week’s
I still say they’ll all turn out to be Cylons
Then when they find out they’re all Cylons, the humans show up in an advanced fleet and the end of the series is left with another cliffhanger that they’ll never come off of except in books and computer games.
pretty happy with the revelation so far but for me that wasn’t the big thing, my girl dee dying crushed me
the scene with the Old Man and Tigh is Emmy-worthy. I am not yet sure how I feel about the choice for the final Cylon, but I’m really excited about the way the story is unfolding! Still crushed over Dee, though.
I loved the whole thing, but I was hoping the last cylon to be someone more relevant…. my money was on Rosslin. Oh well…
I can’t really complain about any of it because I’m still simply in awe over how FRACKING GOOD this show still is.
The other day, I was trying to come up with something – ANYTHING – from modern entertainment history to compare it to (technically, intellectually, philosophically, emotionally, story-wise, performance-wise, general-edge-of-your-seat-ness) , and I couldn’t.

So if they (The final 5) were all alive 2000 years ago, then what the heck is the Caprica spinoff about? I thought that was supposed to be about the creation of the cylons?
see in my mind Humans have left the galaxy altogether, either in exodus or extinction. but the Cylons don’t know how to exist in a universe without humans so they keep recreating humanity and then chaseing them in a futile hope that they’ll lead them to “real” humans. And in the end they’ll just start over agian and again and agian.

I have just one question : WHAT THE FRAK IS STARBUCK?!!?
Also, I hope the rebellion/mutiny doesn’t chew up too many of the remaining episodes :\
The picture above makes me sad that they haven’t worked Dirk Benedict into the series yet.
I’m still waiting for them to work in those white light alien gods/angels from the original series. Maybe that’s what starbuck is.
Loved the episode. Dee killing herself made soooooo much sense. Love it all!
SPOILERS:
Starbuck is a Clone/Hybrid, basically one of the Ancients.
I would like to watch BSG because it looks good, but Ron Moore is a homophobic asshole who ruined Star Trek, so I refuse.
Carver I’m not the biggest fan of Ron Moores work honestly outside of BSG and Star Trek I think his work is poo but I don’t think he is Homophobic in any way.
@matt Well, he was pretty adamantly opposed to there being gay characters on any of the shows. That’s homophobic enough for me.
@Carver
You might be interested to know that one of the main characters on BSG was recently revealed to be gay.

I must say that I gave up reading the inteview about one third in. I’ve realized I just don’t want to know how much they hadn’t known. For instance, the fact that when D’Anna said that line in the opera house to one of the final five, in fact they had no idea what it was all about. So it was just something that was supposed to sound mysterious and very now-she-knows-but-you-will-have-to-wait-for-months, while in fact they shooting blanks. Ok, I get it, it’s how it works. But it can’t help but undermine the whole premise. Not that there’s anyone who still believes “they have a plan” (now that the line was even dropped from the intro). I like where the show is headed but I just don’t want to know anything outside of what I see on the screen.
I’m thinking Ellen as the 5th cylon is a red herring, and the 5th is actually Starbuck. If Ellen really is the 5th, that’s the lamest plot twist I’ve ever seen.
@ Negrin
This all stands in perfect contrast to Babylon 5, which had it’s first four season (of a total of five) almost entirely planned out before shooting began.
