Subject: There's a few bits and bobs from Ausiello...
In reply to: sparkle I love Helo as well. 's message, "THANK YOU! the cast is so big, I lose track." on 16:40:54 08/13/07 Mon

Midseason, three Cylon models are rumoured to be boxed, permanently. Ausiello goes on to say that the three models will be all of the same sex, although this isn't confirmed yet.

Speculation at the moment seems to lead to it being either the Cavils, Dorals and Simons *or* the Threes (who's getting unboxed; Lucy Lawless is back midseason for two or three episodes), Sixes and Eights (minus Athena and Caprica, natch).

In terms of storyline, I could see reasons for both groups being viable - with the men, it could be simply a matter of "tying up loose ends" as they head into the final arc. With the women, it would lend itself to the storylines of Athena and Caprica - both of them would, effectively, be human, as they've now achieved the pinnacle of humanity - mortality.

That's another reason I firmly believe Caprica is dust by season's end - her storyline is *all* about becoming human, and to fully achieve that she has to "achieve" death, because that is the one hard difference between Cylons and humans.

I'd prefer it be the guys simply because they are not as interesting to me. I love all the female cylons and find all of their variations interesting. I do get what you're saying about Caprica Six though. I'm still wondering what they are going to do with the "new" cylons. Will they come out within the fleet? What will eventually happen to them? Will they be triggered in some way? There was a reason they heard the Hendrix song, and I'm dyin' to know why!

It was a trigger left by themselves, or some other version of themselves, to "reboot" their Cylon circuitry should humanity ever come this way - I'm thinking that finding Earth isn't going to be the good thing they're hoping for, and that the "final five" are somehow going to be needed to help avert a disaster that could befall the entire human race.

I agree about the Earth thing. Especially if Starbuck ends up being one of the final five. Maybe they are the founders of Earth in some way and Starbuck's "reboot" is related to their triggering. It is interesting that the 4 that were revealed are all in strategically important roles on the ship. Ok, I really just can't wait now!

But they were the leaders of the rebellion on New Caprica!

Those groups of three bring deep meaning like a quest for humanity in only some of the characters.

What else do they bring to the plot?

The men are aggressively anti-human - the war mongers.
The women are progressively moving toward a less violent approach. Three underwent quite a change when she got hold of Hera. Athena and Caprica are seeking humanity outright.

I think that boxing the women is a return to the Cylon strategy of genocide - just in time to include the Earth. Boxing the men moves the whole Cylon race in the direction Caprica is going.

Besides, I really don't want to see Boomer boxed.

I think we'll see her again, but if we don't (or we only see her when the Eights get boxed)? Then Boomer's arc has really been the most tragic storyline to exist in this universe.

Boxing the men could happen. Ron Moore has said in a few interviews that this year will see old alliances crumble and surprising new alliances take shape.
