Battlestar Galactica

So I'm watching S3 lately. Up to episode 8 now I think.

Did I miss something? Do they now have a definitive cylon test?

In episode 3x7 (I think?) that guy that served with Adama and was shot down by him in Cylon space before the war. I thought he was one of the cylon models. I'm sure I've seen him before, or am I going nuts?

But Doc Cottle tells him he's run the genetic tests and he's definitely human. O_o

So do they now have a Cylon test? When did they get it?

The guy in 3x7 is not a Cylon. You might recognize him on Alias, but he's never been on BSG before.

As for the Cylon test, Baltar was working on one in S1 and S2, but it kinda fell to the wayside.

*nods* Ah, so that's where I know him from. Thankyou. It was bugging the heck out of me. :)

As for the cylon thing, the doc says his tests show he isn't a cylon, so I thought that was interesting.

Ah, so they must still be using Baltars test. (Its just not mentioned that much, so I forgot.)

Yeah, as soon as he came on the screen I was like DIXON! :-)

Yah, now that you say it, it's so him. :)
I jut assumed he'd been a cylon in an earlier ep or something. It's beena while since I watched BSG.

In S1, Baltar flubbed up his tests because Six told him that the Cylons would know that he knew how to find them and kill him. So everyone was not a Cylon. However, since then, Doc Cottle has been messing around with Cylon DNA due to Hera, curing Roslin's cancer, etc. and they can tell a little more easily and are back on track. But I also think that they've deduced that the other models aren't with the Cylons that are trying to kill them and that they've seen the ones they need to worry about.

OK, that makes sense. :)
It's been a while since I last watched the show adn I had fogotten about Hera.
