It occurs to me that it kinda took Starbuck's magic touch to get the cylon raider to work. Isn't that maybe another good hint that she's one of the five? Also, it would explain D'anna's apology, for the fucked up mind-game shit they pulled on her on New Caprica. Who knows though... One thing's for sure though, there's no need for the remaining 5 to be evil. If anything, you'd kinda expect them to be good or something, wouldn't ya? Otherwise, why all the fuss? |

Registered 16 years agoLee and his brother could have been adopted.
The thing about Baltar is that they have given just as many hints as to him being human as they have him being cylon and the fact that even he is questioning it makes it seem a bit of a red herring.
Plus, the fact that he and six have such a strong connection was supposed to be quite significant in a 'first real pairing of man and cylon' kind of way (including all the temple stuff with six).
I just cant see it being him at all now, leaving Adama, Tigh, Roslyn, Starbuck and Lee. I would go for Roslyn, but, jesus, its more fun to guess at this shit than it is lost.
I just absolutely cannot wait for the next episodes and it is so much better at answering one question and posing two more than lost, too. -

Registered 18 years agoBaltar is too much of a weaselly coward to be a Cylon, then again that might be why they're keeping it a secret. He's bad for their image.
"Who? Him? No, he's not with us, I don't even know that guy!" -
When the skin job said that Adama was a cylon, he meant Lee.
That is why after destroying the resurrection ship he went a bit mental; did he see himself in a growth tube? -

True enough - but we don't know if the same rules apply to the final five. It could be the age old TV trick: "oh, not _those_ Cylons; the _other_ kind of Cylons.".gif)

I think they have to be really. The main Cyclons have become too human and aren't really very scary or threatening. With Balthar, Athena and Caprica now all on Battlestar and Xena boxed it feels like they are safeguarding them from whatever will happen to the rest of the Cylon fleet.
I wouldn't be suprised to see the Final Five come in and obliterate the remaining Cylons and then become the main focus as bad guys. -

I developed a theory midway though seaon 1 which was bloody brilliant but has been shot to pieces since then
It basically involved them getting to Kobol and finding out that the Cylons were the gods of the legends and that they created the humans. Here they lived in peace with the cylons and repopulate using cylons/human hyribs (like hera) until it became overpopulated and they leave for new lands, set up the new colonies, live there for a couple of millenia, invent cylons, cylons rebel, humans leave colonies to find legendary Kobol, find it, make peace with Clyons, live there, repopulated etc etc
So it turned out they were caught in this inevitable loop where neither side actually created the other, the cylons would always turn on the humans, the humans would always make peacce with the cylons. Also it could have referenced the previous series as being another cycle of the story.
I think one of the Cylons (the one that kidnapped Starbuck on New Caprica) mentioned in series one something about them playing out a story and that he could have been in her shoes in a different version (something like that).
Anyway it's clearly not gonna happen now -

Registered 20 years agoI think your theory is correct about the Cylons being the original Gods, but something's different in this cycle. The cyclons have discovered a God all of their own. Maybe that's why they haven't just gone arounf the cycle again.
/read too much Wheel of Time -
I've started tuning my brain out when all this crap about Gods and meaningful whispers and reveretnial codswallop starts cominbg out of the Cylons mouths.
Seeing as it wasn't THAT long ago in the story's timeline that the original and the best Cylons, the robots, were battling the humans, and then they buggered off and invented skinjob Cylons, how can enough time possibly have elapsed for the skinjob Cylons to have all this 'God' and religion stuff worked into their culture on the scale of Legendary status? If the robotic Cylons made the skinjobs, why did they let themselves become effectively slaves and the skinjobs started being boss? Why did they hide 5 skinjobs away that nobody knows about, and why are these 5 skinjobs so revered? Are there REALLY only one each of these unseen 5? Isn't that a little silly?
I just don't get it and it's spoiling the show for me now. I can't really get excited about something that makes no sense for me. -

Registered 20 years agoWell tbh the other Cylons don't believe in the final 5. And you're right about the original Cylons being sort of slaves now. But tbh we don't know how the dynamic works between the normal cylons and skinjobs. It could be the toal opposite of what you think. -

But the final 5 clearly do exist, because Xena saw them. Or are we as viewers supposed to believe that this might have been a hallucination? Lets face it, as viewers, we can pretty much assume that they DO exist.
But if they do exist, why are they hidden? What's the point? And why are they so shrouded in religious mystery? How can that have been put in place by the robots when these skinjobs are merely the product of a scientific project by the robots to create them?
All these questions I'm enjoying and I'm looking forward to finding out the answers, but it's all being spoiled, for me, by all of this religious parallels crap that's being crowbarred into the Cylon storyline.

Angels my arse. They just tell me that there's something odd about those two. Baltar won't be a Cylon, it's been built up way too much now. To reveal him as a cylon would be about as surprising as Jonathan Frakes saying he's going to direct another Star Trek film but that this one's "going to be really good". -

I'd presume it's the same reason as why monkeys are in the Zoo and not us. They evolved. -

Well, personally I really hope they don't attribute it all to 'God'. That's weak writing and kind of contrived.
Of course, that opens up the whole can of worms - 'what is God?', and there's simply no point going there, unless 'God' turns out to be some all-seeing actual PERSON (be it Cylon or human) who is able to beam stuff into their heads to help them out.

You could spin it even further, he's human, but the Cylons also made copies of him. -
