I don't like this theory.

I'm thinking Sam's brain activity has everything to do with the ship's cylon repairs. I think he might be the ship's own version of a "hybrid" now.

The thought makes me pretty sad, actually.

I hope I'm wrong.

Yeah that is kinda depressing actually.
He wouldn't really be Sam anymore. He'd just sit there and like..talk nonsense lol I mean some of the stuff the hybrid says is important but..yeah it would be like Sam Sam was gone :(

It would be like Illyria, without superpowers, a cool costume, mobility, a personality of his own and hair... not even blue hair. (And no ability to "morph" back into Sam Sam at important times to allow us the audience to have closure.)

RIGHT!
OMG yeah that's exactly what it would be like. Aww man I don't like this theory either lol

Ooooh, actually ack_attack had a similar theory that I like a bit better (although still not as much as my boy Sam STAYING Sam...): what if Sam's brain activity is related to the death of Tigh/Caprica's baby, like a resurrection or transference?

Yeah I don't like either of those theories. Mine included -- they both mean the Sam we know is essentially gone.

I'm not sure I'd be able to buy the "baby consciousness" thing because it's essentially a new life, it hasn't been taught to speak or do anything yet. Unless Tigh and Caprica's baby was supposed to be a reincarnation of the cylon god or... Daniel or something. (Which, if he is Starbuck's daddy, would be we-he-heeeird.)

Everything about tonight's ep made me sad.

... especially the lack of Leoben.
