BSG: Season 4

[ex-genj]

I think you guys are way over thinking this. I now consider this show fully x-fileized, in that the creators are completely making this up as they go along. If only for the fact that 2-4 of the final five happened to magically be on one of the 2 battlestars that weren't wiped out in the war. Zzz.

Yeah, and Gandalf should have let the eagles fly the ring to Mordor.

Sometimes you need to tell the better story.

I completely agree. One of the behind the scenes video's on the website even says that they voted democratically, who the Final Five Cylons were gunna be.

However, they had plenty of time to think during the writers strike, and theres even talk that some of the season 4.5 scripts got rewritten. I would not put anything past them at this point. This is the end game.

A lot of the behind the scenes stuff they do is bullshit. Listen to the podcast about the episode where Starbuck died. It was all 100% bold faced lies. None of the off the record things they say are cannon.

One thing that bothers me is the final five. Ok, we know four of them, we know one of them was not with the fleet....so where does that leave us really? Is all the build up over who the 5th going to be for nothing as it will be someone who we've never seen before? If that's the case I'm going to be slightly miffed since they built up the five so much, and we've been sitting here guessing who the 5th was for months now.

One could hazard a guess that the final one is someone who's been on the show but is dead now, but it's been insinuated that the final five are pretty much unique and don't have other models.....I dunno, I guess that part of an otherwise fantastic season is kinda bothering me.

The writer's have three choices, and I'm almost 100% sure its going to be in one of these three categories:

1) People on the rebel baseship: HELO, BALTAR, ROSLIN

2) People who have died: ELLEN, BILLY, KAT, CALLY, CAIN, CRASHDOWN

3) People mentioned in name only, and presumably died on the colonies: JOSEPH ADAMA, MAMA ADAMA, PRESIDENT ADAR, ARMISTICE OFFICER

Admiral Cain would be pretty hilarious.

I still think it's Gaeta, and always has been since the start. Theres sooooooo many fishy scenes with him in it.

[Goofy]

haha would be interesting if it was joseph adama which would make the president and the chief of army hybrids.

Everyone has had fishy scenes. I'm convinced the writers sowed seeds of doubt around every major character in the event that they later decide to make them Cylons.

[Malakriss]

The writers have done everything to explicitly not confirm anything about the hidden fifth, in fact they've gone out of their way to omit everything possible.

D'anna saw the faces of the Final Five through her visions. But the hidden fact is that she still had to personally meet the people to recognize who they are. Drawing from this, the secret is that she only knows who 4 of them are. The robes didn't come with "Hello My Name Is ____" stickers or a location printout, plus D'anna would never reveal her ignorance and play the situation exactly as is.

Once again, I put my vote in for Romo Lampkin (Baltar's Lawyer). His personality fits, he projected the dead cat, he's been around as long as Tigh and the others, and most importantly he's someone that D'anna wouldn't know.

[x1hundredregrets]

I like Romo as a candidate, but my personal favorite is probably Doc Cottle. He was the one she saw and apologized to in the vision. Remember when she treated him like shit at the hospital on New Caprica?

Wont be Cally as two cylons cannot have a child.

I guess Caprica-Six isn't pregnant. Don't trust the internal mythology of the show, as a rule. The Cylon's seem to know very little about themselves.

[Dokomo]

Caprica-Six is a virgin pregnancy through the holy spirit, Duh.

Uh, that was Tigh, she was apologizing for the whole EYE thing?
