So I have been doing a little thinking about the 5.

Tigh is supposed to be one of the 5 correct? How can that be? As he served in the first cylon war(with Adama) when there cylons where still only robotic and not synthetic.

Thoughts?

That's pretty good, but would that make him the first synthetic made? I am having trouble with timeline.

How about that the final five are actually some of the first synthetics made? Sent out into the population before the others were created?

could it be a cylon trick that they aren't really cylons.  The revealed four were all on the planet (New Caprica?) where the cylons occupied them.  maybe the cylons did some mumbo-jumbo brainwashing to eventually turn them against the humans.

does anyone remember about 2 seasons ago that Adama was accused of being a cylon?

I called Tigh out after the Lucy Lawless character's dream where she said, 'I'm so sorry for what we did to you.' (Since she was the one that removed Tigh's eye.) I've been pretty right on for the most part of this series.

Moore is leaving a lot of clues, and a lot of red herrings as well. Did everyone already see the 'Last Supper' picture that Moore and company put up? One of the spots is vacant, and that's supposed to be the final Cylon.

Uhm yeah, but D'anna also wanted to shoot Anders in the rubble, so she could have been remarking on seeing him as well. I don't remember her lines verbatim, but she said "I'm sorry, I had no idea."

The last cylon could be Gaeta (he's kind of like a silent puppetmaster/mastermind) or Dee. The last five cylons are all "right hands" of humans. Ronald Moore said Starbuck and Roslin are not.

Hera and Nicholas are hybrid babies we know of.

The last cylon isn't supposed to be revealed until the end of this last season, so expect a shocker. Lee maybe? Haha. What if Apollo is one?  Oh, Admiral Cain?

Tigh being a cylon, well, the five cylons of the 12 are "special" to begin with. They don't have copies. They check out as human. They appear in dreams and altered states of consciousness like beings of light from the original series' beings of light. It doesn't bug me he's "old."

Gaeta also freaked out about something Baltar said to him that made Gaeta stab him with the pen!  I don't remember if Baltar saw what Deana saw in the temple.  Gaeta makes a good suspect to be the last one.

And then there was that hybrid or whatever at the end of 'Razor' who told whatserface that Kara Thrace would lead the human race to its oblivion...but I still don't think Starbuck's the last one.  

This is going to frack with my head for awhile.  I watched the first 3 seasons on DVD, having to watch the 4th week by week and having to wait is killing me!

Tory not important? She is, though. Ronald Moore said each of the Dylan fans were to depict a "human" reaction style to their newfound identity.

I think Ron Moore is on record saying it's not Roslyn.

I'm pretty sure the Final Five programmed the skinjobs,an perhaps the raiders and centurions, to obey them.

A fact that has been pointed out in a number of places - how the frack did CENTURIONS evolve themselves in to the skinjobs. They are, as far as we can tell, pretty dullwitted (but since they can't talk, we don't know for sure).  But remember what the hybrid said "All of this has happened before" - are they stuck in some fort of repeating timeloop? I guess we'll find out.

That would be God, the one true Cylon God who made them, right? The one true Cylon God made the hybrids, too, which run the baseships, right?

The Centurions seem so dim-witted because the skinjob models slapped those mind control devices on them. Remember, six and eight and Leobens took the doodads off. They were some kind of higher-function inhibitor.

The ultimate question is, if they were so smart and had this God to begin with, then why make 12 humanoid models? I mean, there has to be some good evolutionary reason for it. The 12 models are based on 12 real individuals who once lived? One from each colony?

Enemies brought together by impossible longing. Enemies now joined as one. The way forward at once unthinkable, yet inevitable. And the fifth, still in shadow, will claw toward the light, hungering for redemption that will only come in the howl of terrible suffering."

I'm pretty sure Roslin's not a skinjob. It's also not Kara. The only really outlandish possibility is that Adama himself is the 5th... which would make Lee a hybrid. I'm not saying this is likely, but it's an interesting idea.

Sounds to me like Baltar and Roslin are the two enemies. Baltar was longing for death and Roslin has terminal cancer and had that vision of the boat and shore. Sounds like they're teaming up.

"And the fifth, still in shadow, will claw toward the light, hungering for redemption that will only come in the howl of terrible suffering."

Is this Gaeta? Does he want redemption for his lost lower leg? His suffering or the fleets suffering? or maybe Cylon suffering? so confused...

Okay....

1. Galactica is the Opera House. It is where all the players are staged.
2. Six is the dying leader of a dying race.
3. Kara Thrace is the harbinger of doom for the Cylons (since Galatica will be destroying the resurrection hub) meaning that the Cylons have no way to regenerate, and since they can't procreate amongst themselves, they're a dead race.
4. Gaeta is the fifth. The song he was singing was describing the happenings on Galactica and the basestar.

I'm totally OK with Gaeta being the last cylon if that's true.

But the cylons are not dying if they can have babies with humans. I think that's the "inevitable joining." I don't know why cylon humans are infertile to begin with -- it's odd. "God" gives all its creatures a way to procreate. Birds and bees.

This still does not explain the hybrids on the base stars. Who the HELL are they? Where did they come from? How come they know so much?

This is my all-time most beloved SF show, for many reasons. But the level of violence is occasionally ridiculous to the point of being pointless. In particular, was anyone else annoyed when Boomer gunned down the lead Six in this last episode? I mean, right after she lobbies the other Cylons to grow beyond distrust of the humans?

I go back and forth between thinking of the 'enemy' either as maniacal killing machines, aor creatures worthy of some form of salvation, because, as she points out in her speech to the council, they are discovering what is missing in their own lives: a sense of the preciousness of life. And also because humans are painted as being so catastrophically flawed themselves.

------------------------------

Actually, since the Cylons cannot procreate, and with the resurrection hub destroyed have no extra bodies being made, they ARE a dying race. When the Cylons have a baby with a human (which they have to be in love with the human to accomplish) that baby is a hybrid. Neither Cylon nor human, but a new race.

The hybrids on the base stars came from the baby camps like the one Starbuck saw on occupied Caprica. They are engineered humans.

I'm convinced the 5th is Gaeta as well. His character's profile has really been amplified this season and this last episode nails it.

Remember when the captured 6 was beating the crap out of Tigh. The explanation for why they don't shut out the pain was that they learn from it. Seems like the the ordeal of Gaeta is part of his awakening. His singing is also related to how the remaining 5 discover themselves (remember the song only they could here before they realized who they really were). I think that was deliberate.

Best episode so far this season!

Ok, if Tigh is the father of Six's baby, then we know what the five are really for....procreation.

That's what would make them special. Cylons being able to procreate with Cylons (which the first 8 models cannot do amongst themselves) would mean that they don't need the human race to survive. It's just as good as a resurrection ship.

Also, from a genetic standpoint, having 5 Cylons that are fertile not only amongst themselves, but with the other 8 models gives a greater genetic diversity for a race to survive. Very cool, and very well thought out by Moore and company.

Tigh has to be. Who else has been paying Six visits in her jail cell? Makes you wonder... I think it's Tigh because Doc Cottle caught it. A little DNA test.

But if this whole thing is about genetic diversity, I will be disappointed!

I had watched it earlier before you made the post, but damn, I knew it was too good to be true -- finding Earth was one thing, but ... if you have already watched it, well, you know. I bet my husband there's some Planet of the Apes secret cave coming... The fifth is in there, not with the fleet. WHY do we have to wait until next year for the conclusion?

*spoiler alert*

The final episodes. By then we'll have a new president and the Raiders will be playing for the playoffs.

I was reading the Battlestar forum and read that they reached Earth and it was a nuclear wasteland.

I didn't understand their premature celebrating. As far as they knew, the earthlings might not have been friendly and now this group of cylon "allies" knows where Earth is located. Oh wells, I still loved the episode.

I loved it. On a side note, I found out Hotdog is really Edward James Olmos' son. :p I had no idea.

I have to check the other forums...

Yeah, nuclear wasteland. I guess the writing team wanted to show all the jubilation to contrast it with the depression and disbelief on their landing and discovery of their new home.

during the entire episode, the only thing on my mind is that with all the technology, they were only able to give Gaita a "pair" of crutches... WTFrack....

patrick, the 4 hour pilot is really incredible.  the show has had its ups and downs since, but it's been hard to not follow it to see what happens.

not really a spoiler, but stop reading if you haven't been watching...

one thing that has bothered me among many things you could question...why is there only one doctor, out of all those tens of thousands of people?  there are tons of reporters, activists, lawyers, freedom fighters, and all sorts of other kinds of people in the mix.  but for some reason we're supposed to believe there would be only one doctor, he'd be a chain smoker, and he'd somehow be able to tend to those tens of thousands of people all by himself.  that is really just not at all plausible, and has bugged me from the start.
