I don't really like this show but I can watch it. This new season we have new cylons right. Ok in Anonymous Post's thread on the myth of bsg it made me think. The cheif is the son of priests. Now the lords of kobol sent priests to help mankind. Now what if these new cylons are good cylons. Rodenberry once said nothing in the universe is all evil. About klingons in os when he did not have time to redeem them. Ok they seem pretty loyal. Thats what i think. OK somebody club Baltar. That little worm needs it.

Haven't seen 4.2 yet but here's my theory:
(In spoilers case you don't wanna read it, although it is just my thoughts)

Select to view spoiler:



The raiders and centurions will rebel in some way against the seven, possibly because of the communication the raider had with Sam that made them turn away. So this is my idea of a 'new Cylon'.

As for number 5:
There seems to be some kind of opposite situation set up. One human and one Cylon close to each other.
Adama + Tigh. Adama is too obvious and will irate too many fans and with Tigh now a Cylon they don't need Adama as one.
Roslin + Tory. Roslin is a favourite for most but as I think she will die of cancer (bit too much to have her survive twice) then I say she is out.
Starbuck + Sam. Starbuck definitely isn't a Cylon IMO. She will lead them all to the end of their journey as prophecised.
Chief + ? Okay the Chief doesn't fit in but that could change. His being a Cylon also means that his kid is a hybrid (like Sharon and Helo's) and that Callie is human like Helo, seeing as the Cylon's need humans to breed (unless the five can breed normally of course).

So laying this out my current vote goes for Lee (but possibly Baltar), although I have no idea how this goes about fitting it into his younger years with his father and all his previous life with other people. But I still think it's him, especially now he's changing jobs.

Also I think Baltar will sacrifice himself to save everyone (like Jesus) and if he is the fifth then this will completely throw off the seven as to why. This will also prove Roslin wrong in many ways, and she will find this out just before her death, so she dies knowing that she wasn't right, and wasn't ultimately good for them all.



There you go.
I'm sure some of it will be wrong but either way I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series.

I think Baltar will definitely do what you said in the spoilers- he has to.

I agree. Weird- after his story arc-

Edited because with this story... nothing is probable.

I've been checkin BSG out on Hula. Make sure any video you download you sweep. Any credit card info on your computer can be stolen. Not to mention those chinese free movies sites cause they like to throw a virus after you watch die hard or something. Cool enjoyed the spoiler.

Um, this post may be slightly spoiler-y, but this seems a thread for those who know it all already.

5th cylon? I'm going with Apollo. Just cause he's the only main non-cylon character I have no active reason to suspect. And perhaps his secret cylon-ness is the *real* reason he defended Dumbass the Future Jesus. And the reason he left the military. His "programming" is kicking in, and he has things to do...

*strokes chin, squints eyes, and ponders*

I do like this show. Keeps me guessing.

I think the final Cylon will be someone who we have seen in the past but who died, either Admiral Cain, Billy Keikaya or Ellen Tigh. If it is someone still living then my most likely suspect is Tom Zarek.

I've maintained from the start that Baltar wasn't human:

1. His ability to block out the world and visualize his "happy place" (his house by the lake) is a cylon trait.

2. His survival of the nuke in the pilot episode is unbelieveable and never explained. (recall how he and the #6 embrace as the explosion debris swept into his living room). I believe he "died" at that moment and was reborn in a goo-bath with a subsequent memory wipe of some kind.

3. The Red Dress #6 he sees is a subroutine running in his cylon brain. The #6 that sees images of him is actually experiencing the same thing in reverse. The fact that we just saw that Baltar now sees himself as well shows he has more than one routine running in his head.

My new question regarding Baltar relates to why the #6 he sees wears the red dress. For 2 seasons I thought she was dressing in a manner that would seduce him. But just last week when Baltar saw his own doppleganger I noticed that the psudo-baltar was wearing the same pin stripped suit that he wore when he appeared to the #6 in season 3. So we therefore have a baltar in a formal pin stripe suit and a #6 in a formal red dress ball gown. My question is therefore thus:

What is the occasion?


Do not fear me. Our's is a peaceful race and we must live in harmony.

Baltar's house was far away from the actual bombings, and there were plenty of other survivors left of Caprica after the attack. His embrace with Six allowed her to sheild him fropm the debris of the shattered windows.
