May we have a source on the information entered in [[The Farm]] artice, particularly the stuff regarding the detailed plot that was just added?

A writer from 83.208.88.147 added what was an unfortunately mangled addition to the page regarding Galactica-Boomer's origins as well as a question on the farms' use. I don't believe the writer is a native English writer or speaker and it was difficult to interpret, much less edit at first. I paired down the question on how viable human embryos could be used, which was an insightful question. However, in a second element the writer suggested (I think) that Boomer may have been legitimately born by humans who were not Cylons but controlled by the Cylons. This flies in the face of what we do know of humano-Cylons. | |||
Number Six, in the miniseries is genuinely surprised at the small frailty of a human baby, strongly suggesting that humano-Cylons are generated as a mature adult and never as adolescents. We know from this episode that Cylons can't biologically create life by gestation like humans, nor are they compatible at the genetic level without some help (in Helo's case, love). While the writer has a point that the Cylons may have placed their creations within the Colonies much earlier than 2 years prior to the events of the miniseries, we haven't any evidence as yet that supports this. All indications thus far suggest that the Cylon infiltration was a recent event. That doesn't mean that the Cylons didn't do their homework, since Boomer's life history apparently holds up to scrutiny from others and from Boomer herself. It should be noted that Boomer believed she was truly human and never had doubts until her nascent programming become more active and she began missing blocks of time. I hope I gleaned and rewrote the writer's thoughts appropriately in the areas where their contribution wasn't patently contradictory to the data we know.

Revision as of 14:17, 16 August 2005
Three more battlestars? Yeah, right. Kuralyov 21:47, 12 May 2005 (EDT)
fixed it
I have no idea where the "three battlestars" comment came from (with a full complement of vipers and crew??), but I replaced it with a more accurate sentence.
Question regarding Detailed Plot Information
May we have a source on the information entered in The Farm artice, particularly the stuff regarding the detailed plot that was just added? Thanks! -- Joe Beaudoin 23:03, 17 Jul 2005 (EDT)

Boomer's Origins
A writer from 83.208.88.147 added what was an unfortunately mangled addition to the page regarding Galactica-Boomer's origins as well as a question on the farms' use. I don't believe the writer is a native English writer or speaker and it was difficult to interpret, much less edit at first. I paired down the question on how viable human embryos could be used, which was an insightful question. However, in a second element the writer suggested (I think) that Boomer may have been legitimately born by humans who were not Cylons but controlled by the Cylons. This flies in the face of what we do know of humano-Cylons.
Number Six, in the miniseries is genuinely surprised at the small frailty of a human baby, strongly suggesting that humano-Cylons are generated as a mature adult and never as adolescents. We know from this episode that Cylons can't biologically create life by gestation like humans, nor are they compatible at the genetic level without some help (in Helo's case, love). While the writer has a point that the Cylons may have placed their creations within the Colonies much earlier than 2 years prior to the events of the miniseries, we haven't any evidence as yet that supports this. All indications thus far suggest that the Cylon infiltration was a recent event. That doesn't mean that the Cylons didn't do their homework, since Boomer's life history apparently holds up to scrutiny from others and from Boomer herself. It should be noted that Boomer believed she was truly human and never had doubts until her nascent programming become more active and she began missing blocks of time.
