As far as I remember, their "bible" is just referred to as The Sacred Scrolls.

Great episode, awesome reaction! Although we're well into season two, some BSG fans consider this episode to be the actual end to season one, since it wraps up some major early plot arcs and sets the stage for the true search for Earth in place of Adama's previous make-believe search. As for what Head Six really is, it's still a mystery but now we have more clues... which of course doesn't necessarily mean we have more clarity. First, we know she's not a Cylon agent being broadcast into Gaius's consciousness by a chip implanted in his brain. Second, we know she told Gaius that a rather unusual baby was on its way before he had any knowledge of it, which at least undermines the theory that she's just a projection of his subconscious mind. And finally, we know she wants Gaius to believe that she's an angel of god sent to love and protect and guide him. Of course what she told Gaius opens up multiple additional possibilities. She could be what she says she is. She could be something else, but believes she's what she says she is. She could be something else and believes she's something else, but has a reason to mislead Gaius. If all this makes you feel like you're back to square one don't feel bad, as the final scene touched off a wave of fan confusion and debates after the episode was first broadcast. Fun fun fun!

One of the things I find interesting is how Cylons talk about human's horrible behavior, as if they didn't just exterminate some 99.99975% of the human race (assuming 20 billion). At the same time, dehumanizing your enemy, while an effective way to get people to attack, kill, and continue fighting (as shown by several regimes over the millennia), is extremely dangerous. These are such complex situations they present, and unlike so many shows these days they are natural parts of the story, rather than "expectation subversion," or inserted simply for shock value.

Head Six doesn't say anything without a reason and what she didn't say is that they were going to destroy the human race. In addition I think it's interesting that you automatically assumed it was a male figure who abused Starbuck as a child.

Shirt ordered. As for standing on Earth, I always thought it was something similar to a Star Trek holodeck. Putting the arrow in its spot triggered the door to close and the holographic lightshow to begin. We know they had advanced technology on Kobol before the exodus, because they were able to build huge colony space ships and set off across the stars. I figure the Tomb of Athena lightshow was another example of that.

They had that tech available in the Colonies too (and more), but it became access restricted starting with the 1st Cylon War.

What does Ellen Tigh do all day? Drink. Hatch plots. Drink. Think of new abusive behaviors to try out on Saul. Drink. Inappropriately flirt with whoever or whatever is nearby. Drink. Repeat.

I love this episode. I think the very root of what and why Six is, is clearly relayed in that final minute. Six is a guardian angel sent to protect Gauis. "To what end?" "To the end of the human race." There's two ways to look at that statement; 1) an intent to destroy humanity (a.k.a.- the cylon attack), or 2) to the ends of time which strikes me as more plausible in that the cylons want to experience love, and create life. Perhaps the head that is Six in Gauis' mind is a corporeal angel (not literally a cylon) who has been directed by God to protect humanity, through Gauis, to the 'end of humanity' or until the end of all time: "all this has happened before and all of it will happen again." Head-six has said that multiple times. The story, the path of humanity is ever turning, building, destroyed, and rebuilt. In that, Gauis is an instrument to be used to that end. That's why head-Six demanded he put aside his pride and ego and accept God. On top of that, we have Sharon, a very different cylon, one with enough 'human-ness' in her to fall in love and conceive a child; kind of like Mary conceived Jesus, though Mary did so through the power of the holy spirit whereas Sharon did so through the love she had for Helo, (and he her) apparently a first for all cylons. Sharon is intent to be her own person, not labeled as 'everyone else' or like all cylons or a member of the cylon group. She wants her own destiny, to be her own self. There's a reason she wore that red jump suit through this whole episode while everyone else was dressed in contrasting dark, plain colors. Red is passion, blood, life, death, resurrection, sacrifice, danger, & courage. Sharon will have a half human/cylon child. That child is pivotal to Six and her purpose to lead humanity to their end which on another thought, might be their destination; Earth. And what is Helo and Sharon's unborn child's purpose? I think the writers are planting that seed as we watch. Head Six is a toughie. An allegory, a symbol, multiple metaphors. An angel, a real cylon here, then gone, replaced by an hallucination, in the form of an angel who takes on various roles in both the spiritual and the real. In sum, the writers of BSG are an amazing team. The depth and scope of the Aristotelian model are fully fleshed out in these screenplays. The scope and thread of every detail is impeccably documented in text, performance and spectacle. They don't make them like this anymore.
