<p>I was reading on the SciFI forums and came across this poster that I think laid it out very well.&nbsp; </p><p>Serious spoiler so if you don't want any heads up, don't read blow.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><em>Jeremy Prince Allen, Texas on April 22nd, 2008</em> <br />Wow... it's like you guys are all avoiding the absolute obvious: 1. As so many have said so far: Ron Moore has said that the final Cylon won't be a major character, excluding all of the ones listed above. 2. He's said that the final five are "fundamentally different" than the other 7 models. I'm sure what he's referring to is this: they don't have multiple bodies with the ability to "download" after death, they don't know they're Cylons (thus the last Cylon isn't sitting around masterminding the whole situation), and the final Cylon must be a true shock that lines up with the prophecy of the Hybrid from Razor: in the shadows, clawing towards the light for redemption, will find out the identity amidst terrible suffering. Now - people are saying that the final Cylon has to be a major character otherwise it will be "anti-climactic"... bogus. We're only THREE episodes into a twenty-episode season! When you take a look at all of the facts, all of the producers' statements and all of the most recent information in the most recent episodes you come up with the following: 1. Adm. Adama, Pres. Rosalin, Lee, Starbuck, Helo, and Baltar are 100% human - not Cylon. They're all in the Last Supper photo. 2. If Adm. Adama and Lee Adama are not Cylons then Zak can't be either. Not to mention he's dead. Rule him out. 3. Adm. Cain isn't the Cylon because she's dead. 4. Ellen Tigh isn't the Cylon because she's dead. 5. You've got only four other possible choices: Tom Zarek, Feilx Gaeta, Anastasia Dualla, and Doc Cottle. 6. Doc Cottle isn't a big enough shocker and he's definitely older than both Bill and Tigh. 7. Dualla ("Dee") has been shut out of the main story arc so far and isn't really doing much. She's not involved enough in the plot to be a big shocker. She's still a good choice provided we've got a long way to go and there's plenty of story to explore. 8. Gaeta is a really good choice: he's been heavily involved in the story line for a solid amount... AND he's on Starbuck's Demetrius mission as the resident "star chart expert". He's been highly conflicted over his own loyalties and personality (just like Tyrol - remember when he beat the hell out of Cally? - Gaeta stabbed Baltar in the neck over his loyalties). Not to mention that Alessandro Juiliani (the actor playing Gaeta) seemed very proud in an interview that the entire plot of season four is about finding out the final Cylon... very proud. He's a very solid choice. 9. Tom Zarek is the best choice of all so far. He's got a history of political terrorism, he's a cunning politician, he's currently the VP of the Colonies. If Roslin kicks the bucket at some point over the season - he's the boss! We know, thanks to confirmed spoilers, that we're running headlong into a Cylon-Human alliance near the finding of Earth (close to episode 10) and finding out that Zarek, pres of the Colonies, is the last Cylon is the best way to resolve the show! Plus Richard Hatch (the guy that plays Zarek) was a big part of the original show and is very proud to be apart of this new re-imagining. I think the fleet will find Earth, but it will be Earth of the 22nd century and the human race will have wiped itself out here. The fleet will find nothing but ruins of our civilization. Roslin is holding on against her cancer to find Earth - once they find it and find that it's a lost cause, she dies. Kara Thrace will then drop into the Sol system in Demetrius with a Cylon fleet (led by Brother Cavill and party) and will proceed to destroy much of the remainder of the human fleet. Zarek takes over the government, allows the Threes (D'anna), Sixes (Caprica), Eights (Sharon), and Twos (Leoben) asylum with the humans on Galactica. The Final Four (Tigh, Tyrol, Tory, and Anders) reveal themselves to Adama and Zarek and the fleet deals with the fallout of that - whatever's left of them. We then rare shown the great truth: The Final Five Cylons are not really Cylons at all - not like the Toasters or the Skinjobs - but they're really five of the original 12 Lords of Kobol (Ares, Vulcan, Dionysus, and Demeter... now with Poseidon). They're responsible for creating the human race and helped the humans create the Cylons. The last 7 Cylons are replications of the other part of the 12 gods and they're "Plan" (as mentioned in the beginning of the first three seasons) is to reunite all humans and the "gods" on a single planet like they were before. It's why they did what they did on New Caprica, but without the Final Five being revealed it went horribly wrong. This theory goes along with the miniseries comments by Leoben about "God wanting to take the immortal soul and give it to a new creation... the Cylons" as well as the mythology around BSG, etc. </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><br /><img id="06322a8d-f18d-4ab1-8ea7-150275a4cb53" src="http://sitelife.space.com/ver1.0/Content/images/store/6/14/06322a8d-f18d-4ab1-8ea7-150275a4cb53.Large.jpg" alt="blog post photo" /></p> </div>
