Hunter2005, I felt it necessary to roll back your last contribution to the article, [[Cylon agent]]. There is no aired information I can recall that supports your speculation about apparent age and downloading pain, and we truly do not know the cause of the pain that the Cavils have in relation to other models that may have had more or fewer downloads. Please see the policy on [[BW:FANW|unsupported speculation]] for more on why I believed the contribution was not germane. If you have a specific aired source or reference, please readd the comment but note the source as a footnote. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 07:12, 11 December 2006 (CST) | Hunter2005, I felt it necessary to roll back your last contribution to the article, [[Cylon agent]].

*I just saw this is why I took so long to respond. Spencerian, perhaps at the time it was speculation, and it was, but I never meant for it to be purported as a fact. I did qualify it. I do think that since the Cavils are the oldest appearing model and since one of the units of that model was the only one thus far to complain of the increasing pain of resurrection it is a reasonable possibility that it is age related. The one on New Caprica on Colonial One said that after the third time downloading it "..felt like a red hot poker in his brain" IIRC, I think it is a reasonable leap to say that perhaps it is age related. In the interim since that scene and since you have removed my speculation, we have learned that D'anna Biers (and I believe it was the reporter from "Final Cut" and not any old Three) has been repeatedly "killing" and downloading herself, well past the three times that that "red hot poker" pain that Cavil unit suffered supposed to have kicked in I would surmise. D'anna has never once complained about the pain (beyond that of the normal resurrection process that is) despite almost certainly beyond the three that New Caprica Cavil had, leading me to to think that the pain that Cavil unit felt is probably unique perhaps to not only that particular unit, but that model which if we use the actual age of the actor who plays them, Dean Stockwell,mimics a man in is late 60's early 70's. In contrast the three models which Lucy Lawless plays seem to mimic a human woman in her mid 30's to early 40's. Lucy Lawless is 38, so there is apparently, an approximately a thirty year difference in age. Whether the Cylons built in the effects of age into the Cavils is speculation, but Dr. Cottle did rue the fact that the Cylons didn't improve the plumbing while trying to save Sharon's baby opens the door that they followed the blueprint of mankind '''''too''''' closely. Or maybe they did so for deliberate reasons, since the degeneration of life is the natural order, and Cylons seem to want to be part of the natural order, they built in age in the models that are apparently old.

Revision as of 04:18, 20 December 2006
Welcome to the Wiki. Feel free to tell us about yourself on your user page. Also read the Battlestar Wiki:Standards and Conventions project article, which details the policies we use in editing pages (this differs from many other wikis in consistent use of phrasing, abbreviations, format, and the like). --Spencerian 14:32, 22 January 2006 (EST)

- I just saw this is why I took so long to respond. Spencerian, perhaps at the time it was speculation, and it was, but I never meant for it to be purported as a fact. I did qualify it. I do think that since the Cavils are the oldest appearing model and since one of the units of that model was the only one thus far to complain of the increasing pain of resurrection it is a reasonable possibility that it is age related. The one on New Caprica on Colonial One said that after the third time downloading it "..felt like a red hot poker in his brain" IIRC, I think it is a reasonable leap to say that perhaps it is age related. In the interim since that scene and since you have removed my speculation, we have learned that D'anna Biers (and I believe it was the reporter from "Final Cut" and not any old Three) has been repeatedly "killing" and downloading herself, well past the three times that that "red hot poker" pain that Cavil unit suffered supposed to have kicked in I would surmise. D'anna has never once complained about the pain (beyond that of the normal resurrection process that is) despite almost certainly beyond the three that New Caprica Cavil had, leading me to to think that the pain that Cavil unit felt is probably unique perhaps to not only that particular unit, but that model which if we use the actual age of the actor who plays them, Dean Stockwell,mimics a man in is late 60's early 70's.

Or maybe they did so for deliberate reasons, since the degeneration of life is the natural order, and Cylons seem to want to be part of the natural order, they built in age in the models that are apparently old.
