Battlestar Galactica | A Cylon Disease?

[@NyuuMikuru1]

This is why a cleanroom is needed when putting any space thingys together. Never fails when one sick technician worked on that probe. Trillions to one by chance they found the probe floating in the blackness of space.

I wish they did more with this story line. It seemed to be dropped.

[@williamsquires3070]

Wow, that’s kind of scary; like Enterprise-D finding an abandoned Borg cube. 😳

[@catman351]

That would be Voyager that found a dead Borg cube.

Icheb was genetically engineered and had a Pathogen in his body, that could destroy all Borgs an a Borg cube.

The first time you die youll find it very liberating, after that its a real headache.

[@matterisnotsolid8295]

I thought this was an awesome aspect of the storyline. Never figured out if they just threw it in there or if they intended to elaborate on it later but canceled the series before they did.

[@Taipei_Sam]

It was supposed to be an analogy on the ethics of war and the use of biological weapons.

[@gabrielpaige3514]

Funny, I just watched the same exact episode yesterday. This deserves a so say we all!!!

“The Baseships will follow.” That’s quite a 33rd.

[@FedoReds88]

This arc make me wondering if there isn't a third power never showed that simply waiting the end of the human-cylon conflict to take care of the survivors; maybe the last cylon basestar have a short live after the last episode

[@dougclark9921]

I thought it would have been good to have a 3rd smaller group. The remnants of those who left nuke Earth. Knowing their time was up and helping the new humans to escape the Cylons. Maybe realising late on that they could coexist. I would have had the religious overtones but with the reveal being the 3rd race dying rather than angels.

[@thehantavirus]

funny thing in the original bsg series, there was a 3rd race, it wouldve made sense if they included it in bsg reimagined.

[@alfonszitterbacke318]

The ideal weapon to wipe out the entire cylon race or at least buy enough time to make an escape far, far away ... and they give it away for no real reason.

[@tdrewman]

It was Lymphocytic encephalitis. Humans over the centuries have developed an immunity to it and if they catch it is not fatal . The Human cylons did not have this immunity

[@richardmoloney689]

Shudda avoided eating bats.

[@rachelar]

This isn't in Woohan

[@sethzwicker3631]

Did they ever explains what "it" was that made them all sick and how it was from "earth"?

[@sawyernorthrop4078]

I think it was a navigational marker dropped by the 13th tribe which was accidentally contaminated with some common virus that didn't really affect humans but was extremely lethal to cylons

[@demianzarnoski3288]

Yes, it was an ordinary pathogen from Kobol, harmless to humans (and the thirteenth tribe).

[@joshuaplotkin8826]

It was a virus left over from the 13th tribe. Humans had developed an immunity to it centuries ago. Cylons hadn't. It was just bad luck.

[@josenavas9968]

When I first saw this episode my impression was it was a biological container left by accident? What happen afterwards could be anybody guess. With the effects or the consequences both the humans or cylons must deal with the issues.

[@rvaughan74]

The Raptor was programmed on Autopilot. Gaius was just along for the ride.

[@aztalyido]

The first time in this series we can see a true fear in the cylons... Am i the only one wondering why the cylons nuked the 12 colonis? They could just kill all humans with a super disease like this, and then take their planet... Its longer then the original plan, but a more faster way to find a new home...

[@fifaisscripted]

If it takes too much time, humans will find a cure, if it's spreading too fast then it's probably not lethal enough, if it kills too fast, it wouldn't spread everywhere. There would always be survivors. Nuking is fast and easy and ironically the most humane way

[@alduintheanti-dragonborn]

Besides, they already tried to do so in Deadlock, see how well that turned out.

[@aztalyido]

@@fifaisscripted I know but it will destroy the planet and make it unhittable... Its a useless plan the cylons could have achieve so much if they took the colonials tech into their own fleet instead of nuking it all... Battlestars are way stronger then the base-stars

[@richardmoloney689]

It's TV. Great TV too.

[@alduintheanti-dragonborn]

@@aztalyido Cylon technology is superior to Colonial technology, they could have built something to combat battlestars but didn't for some reason. They intended for all of humanity to die in one single strike, and it would have worked to if they had only waited just one more day. No Galactica, no civilian fleet, Pegasus would not last long under Cain's overly aggressive leadership. They don't need the colonies, they have resurrection.

[@multitudeofidols]

Somewhere the Cylons are watching humanity right now and laughing in honour of their ancestors.
