In this world, you’re either a Cylon or a Cyloff.

So here we are, less than sixty hours until the Battlestar Galactica season premiere, and I am trying very hard to keep it together because there are just sooo many burning questions I want answered - and preferably answered before we’re forced to sit through another episode about a stupid rogue toaster cylon.

Questions like, what will Starbuck’s hair look like (short-ish)? Will I see Lee Adama in a different, less weenie light now that I know he has a British accent (yes)? And most importantly, if this article about the prequel series Caprica is to be believed, then could Bill Adama be the twelfth cylon (disappointing)?

I mean, I suppose this could be possible which would make Lee a half cylon. What should we call those anyway? Not halflings because that’s just gay elf-y.

Half breeds? Cyloffs?

CYLOFFS.

And what kind of powers do we think Cyloffs have? We already know they can kind of cure cancer and that is Totally.Not.Funny. (let it go Kiala, GODS), but what else do we think they can they do?

Here is my list of five possible Cyloff powers that neither a Cylon nor a Human possess.

1. When lost, the ability to navigate a spaceship without turning the stereo down.

2. Wash and go hairstyle.

3. Operate on two hours of sleep and a pint of whiskey.

4. Swing both ways. AC/DC.

5. Turn straw into gold.

Ok, now it’s your turn. GO.

1. Male Cyloffs can stay awake after sex.
2. Female Cyloffs aren’t cold all the damn time.
3. They always know where they left their keys, cell phones, and glasses (they don’t need glasses, they just wear them to be stylish).
4. Are capable of staying up after ten with regularity, even after they turn 33.
5. They can totally take Larry King.

By the way, I think we’ve decided we have to get rid of cable after the NBA season ends. What are the odds that BSG will call it good by the beginning of June?

They have theme music follow them around at all times that is perfect for whatever situation they are in.

They’re probably shape-shifters (that’s just a guess).

Deanna Troi feels… extreme… sadness. An overwhelming sense…. of… despair.

Oh wait, wrong series. “shit.”

Hi. I have nothing to add. But I need to leave a comment because I didn’t yesterday because I was hiking and enjoying nature and ignoring the internet. Not you. I wasn’t ignoring you. Just the web. But I texted you and that’s a little like leaving a comment on a blog. Right?

Okay, seriously. SOME of us have just started watching the damn show (nearly through Netflixing season 1)… how about a little spoiler warning?!?

Is “Netflixing” a word yet? If not, it should be.

POSSIBLE SPOILER. I’m just so very excited about the conversation that has to happen between Chief and Boomer now.

Right? I mean…AWKWARD.

Oh and Nels..I’m sorry but if you just started watching BSG there is no way you’re going to be able to avoid spoilers. NO WAY. Unless you become a shut in. Which I highly recommend.
