Not all Cylons have the scanner. Some are sexy:

In Battlestar Galactica, humanity has fled earth after a hostile takeover by AI. On their last remaining ark fleeing to a habitable planet are Cylons, AI disguised as humans, some not even aware they ARE cylons. Fantastic show.

finally got around to finishing that, it was pretty good, my only beef was

spoilerwhatever the hell Starbuck was after she came back? Also, they introduced the concept of cylons 'casting' visions, but evidently that wasn't what Gaius was experiencing? then what was it? Seemed like they were pushing the idea of christianity in a freaking science fiction show, and it completely turned me off the last season.

Better than the hyper-mormon ending to Ender's Game~

Wait did I miss something I read that like 10 years ago...

Also, I used to think the message board propaganda thing that the siblings did that radicalized more than half of the voters was far fetched and a little corny. Turns out that was the most realistic part.

They should have stuck with the fan theory that Cylonism could spread like an STD rather than... Whatever the ending was.

[-] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah another contender of 'fantastic show that produces an absurd ending that kind of ruins it'. But it was a wild ride the whole time, and I enjoyed it.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah. What was the deal with those flying motorcycles anyway?

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

A scanner is a machine that creates a digital version of a physical object, most commonly a piece of paper. But that's not important right now.

[-] TseseJuer@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

that would be a document scanner

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

So say we all. Rawr

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I thought that was Josh Gates at first.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

He probably still has the spine scanner, we just never saw it because the BSG producers are cowards.
