Telencephalic Inhibitor

In Season 4’s “Six of One“, a device called the telencephalic inhibitor is introduced. As hinted to in an early Season 3 episode, “Precipice“, the Significant Seven Cylons had ensured that their own robotic servants would not rise up against them. The means of this accomplishment is this inhibitor, which prevents centurions higher brain functions, and thus ensures that they’ll never rise up and kill their masters.

In a dangerous move, Natalie’s faction—which advocates further pursuit of the verboten Final Five—removes this inhibitor, which allows the centurions to make up their own minds about Cavil’s lobotomization of the Raiders. (This came about after the Raiders recognized Samuel Anders as a Cylon, and broke off the battle at the Ionian Nebula of their own volition.)

Anyway, now that you’ve looked at another cool prop, we’re going to start “paperwork week” starting Sunday night. (At least it’s Sunday night in Vancouver. Gotta love those time-zones!)

We’ve got a lot of cool paperwork-type props to show you, so don’t despair! Besides, the trees were already dead. It was just made useful. Deal with it.

And, of course, if you have a specific request on something you’d like to see featured in a future blog, we’re now taking requests. (Read: Joe will take your requests, since he writes 99% of the content you see daily on the site, anyway.) Simply join our shiny new forums and hit this thread.

Good hunting!
