don’t you think her losing the baby some kind of comeups for her killing that baby in the mini series just thinking about that:D
Audra & Sean were saying on the podcast about how kids can sometimes spook them?
Then this sad thing happened :

This kid IS spooky 
Sorta like Damien from The Omen or something…
Interesting point, demo. We like to humanize them because as human beings we all believe in redemption, but CapSix broke a poor infant’s neck for seemingly no reason.
I always took it as she killed that baby to spare it from the impending nuclear holocaust. She had a pretty distraught look on her face as she walked away from it.
I thought of that but don’t see how that’s acceptable. The baby is going to have a pretty quick death by living in Cap City anyways, and to leave the mother with not muhc time left only to grieve over her precious child is cruel.
I have been to WAMPUM, Pa. I was a Zombie in the original Day of the Dead and we filmed in the mushroom mines in Wampum. Not a whole lot there, except the mushroom mines. might have made me crazy if I was a kid living there…
so what more natrall death , fate had that baby dieing on caprica with it parents. not with the help caprica 6 snaping its neck:eek:
I didn’t see it that way at all. I think she looked surprised due to finding out how easy it was to kill the baby. This may have been her first time handling a human child, her curiosity tempted her to see how fragile it was, but upon finding out she felt remorse.
It’s not acceptable. But in her skewed sort of morality, it might have been. Hear this out. She seems to have an obsession with kids. They’re new, they’re potential, and they’re blameless because they haven’t had the chance to screw things up yet. Caprica believed (at least in the beginning) that humanity as a whole had wronged the Cylons, but a baby had no part in this. So since it was likely going to die in a matter of hours (and even if it didn’t in the initial attack, all it would have waiting for it would be a horrible lingering death of radiation poisoning, which is one of the more awful things I’ve had to read up on in real life) better that it die a quick, more or less painless death. ETA: Forgot to say that she probably didn’t care too much about the mother, for much the same reasons as above: the mother was an adult human and had (in Caprica’s eyes) committed her sins against Cylons already, and therefore deserved to die how the other Cylons had decreed. Or something.
Look at people like Andrea Yates (drowned her kids a few streets away from where I live) who killed her children because she didn’t want them to live in a corrupt world, or the parents at Jonestown who poisoned their children for much the same reason. It’s wrong, but in their minds it made sense.
I’ve depressed myself
This is how I interpreted it the first time I saw it, as a new experience gone horribly wrong.
But it doesn’t change the fact that she killed an innocent baby, and if the show’s got a creed, it’s that you cannot hide from the things you have done.
curiosity killed the cat:D
I thought it showed what sort of villains the Cylon would be. They’re not complete monsters, but rather have a twisted morality that we can at least comprehend even as we can’t accept it. Simply put, she was remorseful, but she did murder that child deliberately.
I think the baby was serving a completely different function. It was providing resurrection capability for a final five - Sam. The fetus moved about the time Sam’s brain activity went flat. Sam’s brain activity came back when the fetus died. Maybe that’s how the Cylon(z) turned resurrection into procreation all those years ago. It’s not to say the love component wasn’t involved. As soon as Caprica 6 realized - even if subconsciously - her baby wouldn’t be coming into a “perfect home”, her cylon body may have rejected the fetus - subconsciously. That’s my theory - and I’m sticking to it.
i hadnt noticed the timing on sams brain/ babys life, but since u pointed it out, i really like that thought… its dif. but its cool
