Maybe it's Jesus!!!!

No I read where Ron Moore said the 5th Cylon is not a new character.

So, in my mind that only leaves the small group that wasn't with the fleet at the time she made that statement. Or she was lying.

That quote by D'Anna leads me to believe that Ellen might actually be the one.

u2sarajevo · 09-16-2008, 05:22 PM

So..... Admiral Cain WAS part of the 13th Colony and an adviser to the President!

Ah...season 2.

24.

Got it.

You watching that? That's good stuff.

u2sarajevo · 09-16-2008, 09:26 PM

Yeah.... My brother got into 24 recently so I am borrowing his DVD's as he buys them. I finally finished S1, and started S2 today. Good times.

I swear, the ending to S1 was gut wrenching. I figured she would still be alive.... you know they always end shows with everyone living, at least the people you care about. That was shocking. I can't imagine how powerful that would have been had I seen it when it aired.... knowing I'd have to wait so long to see another one.

Kim in S2 seems a bit off so far. Don't spoil me though. I've only seen 1 episode.

Maybe I should mimic you and create a "Rediscovering 24" thread?

edit: also, I had NO clue that Nina was a (what Mrs. Weasley called Belatrix)! Even though they hinted to it in the intro.

nikeball · 09-17-2008, 12:04 PM

I would vote David Palmer for President. Palmer > OBAMA + MCCAIN

lol look at this.

"You have heard my voice countless times, yet you do not know my name."

So whomever it is has been going by an assumed name? That's all I can flesh out from that quote.

Flacolaco · 12-04-2008, 02:33 PM

I don't even have what I feel is a good guess at this point.

u2sarajevo · 12-04-2008, 02:40 PM

So the new "Last Supper" picture.... Roslin is gone. Is that because she is dead? Or I mean will end up dead?

Those clues really aren't helpful. The 2nd one I was thinking Laura Roslin. But none of the other clues point anywhere around her that I can tell. The Starbuck one is interesting. Is that when she was painting aboard Demetrius?

u2sarajevo · 12-27-2008, 12:46 PM

I just watched webisode 1 (of a 10 part series) on scifi.com now.

WHY did they have to go there? I don't even want to watch the other ones. Why do we have to know that? Seriously.

I rewatched ep. 10 last night with my wife (who is now caught up with us all). I am still convinced it's Ellen Tigh. My wife seems to think it's Gaius. Either fits though, because neither was "with the fleet" when D'Anna makes that remark.

Flacolaco · 12-27-2008, 02:39 PM

I heard that about the webisodes and didn't even watch the first one.

I'm not sure why it's such a trendy thing to do...or if they faced some kind of protest from some group for not having any characters on the show like that...(actually they have, haven't they? That admiral and the six?)

Whatever...it's needless.

11 more days til Grace Park

a post like that would be worth so much more with pictorial representation.

@ work. Pics on google images = too steamy.

Flacolaco · 01-12-2009, 10:10 AM

So apparently Sci-Fi is doing Battlestar all day long on Friday, starting at 7:30am with the last 3 episodes of season 3, followed by all of season 4 up until the new episode at 9:00pm.

The temptation to call in sick and 'nerd out' all day long is strong.

u2sarajevo · 01-12-2009, 10:19 AM

I know.... and if I hadn't just watched all 10 episodes with my wife the past couple of weeks I think I would do it.

I am pretty geeked up for Battlestar. Something to take my mind off of failed Dallas sports teams.

Flacolaco · 01-12-2009, 10:21 AM

See, I've been meaning to do the re-watch of those 10 with my wife as well, but I have been pressing pretty hard on my LOST re-watch (all 4 seasons). I have 12 more LOST before next wednesday to get through.

I think we will end up settling for and early dinner in on Friday night, and we'll watch the last 3 or 4 episodes of season 4.1 before the new one at 9pm.

Flacolaco · 01-16-2009, 11:11 AM

Do you know what day it is, U2?

u2sarajevo · 01-16-2009, 12:05 PM

I do. I saw all the webisodes and it's quite *shocking..... and recommended to watch.

* shocking for a webisode series anyway.

u2sarajevo · 01-16-2009, 12:05 PM

Needless to say.... I'm primed for the season.

Flacolaco · 01-16-2009, 12:19 PM

I was just reading some various articles about tonight via Google News.

Various critics from various papers have nothing but completely awesome things to say about it, saying that there are numerous surprises and twists, etc, but they all complain about how Sci-Fi left off the final 3.5 minutes from the press screener, because apparently it's that big of a deal.

And I will try to watch those webisodes later, I guess if you recommend them. How many are there?

u2sarajevo · 01-16-2009, 12:28 PM

10, the first couple are kind of annoying.... well they are webisodes so they all are. but the material is somewhat shocking. And let me preface that with letting me distance. But I found it important enough to watch if you are a fan.

Flacolaco · 01-16-2009, 10:25 PM

Frak me

Flacolaco · 01-16-2009, 11:09 PM

Well...Mary called it.

And I've seen that theory on countless sites...I feel slightly let down, but that was such a great episode I don't care. Does that mean that she's coming back to the show?

And the stuff with Kara...yeah. What's that? How creepy was that?

Is anyone else starting to think that maybe they're just all Cylons....

I never thought of that...but it certainly fits "all this has happened before, and will happen again" or whatever.

That was great...I'm so glad its back.

I was spoiled about the Kara body thing, but not about Dualla. She's a spare character....won't miss her.

Burning the prophecy was pretty hard core.

The Ellen thing was easy enough to figure out...the producers had eliminated most of the cast through their hints.

I'm glad Tigh has a new reason to live.

I'm feeling guilty for thinking Gaeta was super creepy.

Flacolaco · 01-16-2009, 11:36 PM

So...what is Kara?

I'm just starting to think of the story...

The 13 tribes left Kobol in search of a new home. 12 of them settled and became the 12 colonies, blah blah...One left to find earth. They're the 13th colony.

So now it turns out the 13th colony were Cylons all along....but the rest of the colonies weren't? How does that make any sense?

I am excited. That was awesome (and intense...and dark...really DARK) and somehow they have to wrap this up in 9 more hours?

Flacolaco · 01-16-2009, 11:39 PM

They had me with Dualla, btw. I totally thought they were revealing it right there...she found the jacks and she cried (I thought maybe she remembered her old life on Earth) and now she's in a good mood, they said she was "glowing"

And then they took it the other way.

And that's when I started thinking..."okay...maybe she WAS the 5th, and she realized it and killed herself!!" Which I thought would have been a totally unexpected way to go with it...

mary · 01-17-2009, 12:03 AM

If Kara is a cylon, I don't think she is the same kind as The Final Five.

Tigh and Ellen weren't resurrected, they were "born". They age.

Have the cylons ever used "born" to describe resurrection before?

u2sarajevo · 01-17-2009, 01:20 AM

Okay that was dark, huh? I knew it was Ellen when D'Anna changed the number of final 5 in the fleet to 4. The only other explanation was either Kara or Baltar(or Roslin, or Helo), and I convinced myself that was not going to be the case. Although the Kara body thing freaked me out. I hope we will find out more on that end.

How is Caprica pregnant with Tigh's baby also? Can we revisit that?

What I don't get though, is how did they determine the 13th colony bones were Cylon bones? or whatever. I don't get that. They lost me on that point.

nikeball · 01-17-2009, 11:03 AM

Throughout the last episode i kept thinking the last one was Starbuck. I mean it all fits. She died crashing to Earth. Then she was Cylon-reborn and got a new ship. Then the last minute. Tigh's wife Ellen.

There better not be 100 loose ends or an open-ended series finale because that would make me very angry.

Also..how did Gaeta lose his leg? I don't remember that at all.

edit: I wish Sharon Valerii was the mother of my children.

At this point..what is the difference between Cylons and humans? Apparently...these "frakking machines" bleed, have babies, get sick, die, and decompose into skeletons...where's the machinery, exactly? Where's the electronics? What is the difference? (and is that going to end up being the whole point?)

I think he got shot by Sam when Kara was on her earth-finding mission and the crew was about revolt against her.

That's what I remember, but I could be wrong.
