EJO said he'd walk away from the show when unrealistic things like blue skined aliens walked around on set

Personally I liked the show but I quit once everyone started listening to Bob Dylan and Girlpower-Starbuck came back from the dead

that to me is when the series got stupid and unrealistic

ratings and the drop in viewers prove EJO's acting performance only has so much coolness, the show has only so much pull when the story starts to go way South

True. Which makes me think that they won't go there. I still think it would be a good statement though.

I don't know, somehow I have faith that the ending will be some kind of homecoming. And I really hope it happens in a way that pulls together at least some of the strange plot odds and ends that have been left dangling over the seasons. I really do hope the writers have been planning for it, and don't pull some kind of Stephen King Dark Tower series ending. *shudder*

I'm hoping they wrap those loose ends too. It's a bit too much like Lost right now in that respect.

While I did like the ending to the Dark Tower Series (the only person on the planet I think, also I kind of saw it coming), I don't think I would like that sort of ending as far as BSG goes. They do have a lot to answer for.

As for predicting: I haven't a clue. Not even a bit. And I'm usually very big on predicting. It's part of what I love about this show - there are so many possibilities that I can see many different outcomes, and I bet none of my sad little guesses are anywhere close. I was way off about the fifth!

I'm big on guessing too (I was right when I guessed they'd find the Earth in ruins), but was off about the fifth. I'm wondering if what they gave us about the fifth was a red herring however.

BTW, where the hell will they go with that? And doesn't it add to the creepiness of Tigh seeing the face of his wife on #6?

I wonder the same thing (which makes me think red herring). And yeah, it is creepy that he sees her face on 6. Kind of like some sort of odd cylon necrophilia in a way.

Several scenes and lines from this week's show lead me to believe they are setting up Adama as the "dying leader," and since the two part finale is entitled "Daybreak," I think they are going to steer clear of a totally depressing ending.

You bring up a good point. I was wondering why Adama was downing so many pills.

Oh I think the will as well. Going all the way back to "33" the show has been about finding hope in the worst situations and the last few episodes, things have definitely gotten pretty bad. I'm happy with the Helen choice although I had wanted it to be Billy. Boy, wouldn't that have driven the president over the edge.

Anyway, I think you're right, Adama is the dieing leader. Still don't know what's up with Starbuck but I think Gaeta (that man has a chip on his shoulder the size of a leg) and Zarek will be shuffled off soon. I think right now they're resolving minor character issues and slimming down the cast so the very end can focus on the major characters and plot issues such as the starbuck thing and where will home end up being, wtf is up with Baltar, etc.

I'm still not convinced it is Helen. As someone said earlier in the thread it might have just been Tigh's mind playing tricks on him. I really thought/think its Dee, she was having flashbacks on the planet playing with those jacks(IMO). I posit that Dee killed herself so she could download into another body and tell the others about Earth.

Ron Moore said flat-out in an interview last week that Helen really is the 5th.

"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

Yeah, and I recall he also told us that Starbuck was dead.

Ellen might be the Fifth, but I think there's one more to be revealed. Thirteen colonies - thirteen Cylons.

And so far, that seems to have been true.
