Quick question...

[caffey]

...before I'll move on to watching No Exit and thus be as up to date as I'll ever be.

Are my maths skills rusty? Have I missed something? If there's only twelve Cylon models, how come Sharon is Number Eight? We know Number One through Six, Number Eight, and the Final Five. Assuming there's a Number Seven -- and really, there's got to be a Number Seven, Cylons wouldn't just skip a number -- that adds up to thirteen. So, what am I missing here?

ETA: Oookay. What do I do now? Friday is still so far away. *wails*

Took me a while to notice too, mostly because from the get-go we knew there were twelve Cylon models. When the Final Five were first mentioned, the rest had already been referred to as the seven models that are known (or at least I thought of them as such). Only when the fact that Sharon is Number Eight penetrated my mind did I realize the math was off. Must have been season three-ish, but I'm not sure. Watching basically all episodes in one go doesn't help me distinguish between seasons, much less separate one episode from the other.

Anyway. Gonna have to check out your forum and read up on the whole lost Number Seven angle while I'm waiting for the download of Deadlock to finish. Sucks to be here, occasionally. *sigh*

Ah, the marathon approach. I did that with Heroes' first season, and with the first half of BSG's fourth. It probably improved the viewing experience in both cases, but it's not something you can do a lot -- takes too much time, and if a show's still running, waiting for it to finish a story would take patience (and make it more likely you'd get spoiled).

You're always welcome at the forum, though I'm afraid you'll find it pretty quiet. Not updating in forever has that effect. But I'm working on it...
