Re: Shunning: I'd buy that if he weren't the only one missing, but every other model is represented, even the ones we've only seen a few minutes of (Simon). Some of them are even there in plural. So it feels more intentional than that to me, somehow.
I love, love love the idea of a larger Cylon culture, though I'm not sure that I buy it. I could see the other five models working on Caprica, though, or something like that. Also, I was tossing around ideas earlier, and we got to wondering if the Cylons even -- I mean, do Cylons automatically recognise all other Cylons? It would actually benefit them not to recognise the ones who are infiltrating humans and that sort of thing, so what if only a few models of the infiltrators were produced at first? I want badly for there to be a reason other than dramatic tension that we haven't seen the other five models at all.
I got the impression that Leoben had heard about her before Galactica, too; he knew way too much about her for it to be guesswork or anything, you know? It had to have been very specific research. It makes me wonder, though, if Six thinks that Gaius is foretold in the Cylon mythos, maybe Starbuck is, too. Leoben is something of a mystic anyhow, more so than even Six's enigmacy. I certainly don't think that Gaius was an unplanned target, and I don't think that Starbuck is either, even if I can't quite come up with the reasons for it yet. There has to be something.
Majority opinion seems to be that it was just a short while before he reappeared, so I probably just misread it -- I suppose that's what I get for watching things in the wee hours of the morning.
