BSG "Razor" commercial break 4

L: Flashbacks are (over)used as a storytelling device.

L&E: Why is Quiznos giving us summaries of the action right after it happens?

L: Quiznos: explaining plots for stupid people.

E: I have a prediction. Last season they revealed all the cylons, and then realized they need to make some more people cylons as well for dramatic effect.

L: 15-year-old girls!!

E: Right. (blank stare) So, they've introduced the Guardians as a third group of cylons with some other, unrelated goals---and new humanoid cylon models!

L: If Adama saw all these things 41 years ago, why didn't he mention them? Ever? Also, if they encountered this second group of cylons somewhere in the middle of season 3.0 (to judge by the existence of the Pegasus and Lee Adama as its commander), then why was it never mentioned? It would have been important in subsequent episodes of season 3.5.
