Battlestar Galactica Season 4-Expect Spoilers

Post by **Sorus** » Sat Apr 19, 2008 7:25 pm

Soo... the four are showing their true colors. Not surprising, though.

My speculation on the fifth - basically the more I think about it, the less idea I have. That's part of the reason I love this show.

Some good guesses already listed above, probably better than any of mine.

For shock value above and beyond what has already been revealed, it would pretty much have to be Adama, Roslin or Apollo. For that reason, they are too obvious. Likewise, Starbuck and Baltar are too obvious. (But what *is* the story with Baltar?)

The scene in the episode last week when Anders faced the Raider did remind me a bit of the flashback scene in Razor where Cain faced the Centurion. Though it could be argued that the Cylons were already pulling out then and it was just a coincidence. Still, the idea appeals to my sense of irony. For that matter, what about her sister? She was abducted, the timeline is about right...

Nah... it's going to be someone more obvious.

Hmmm, I need to watch Razor again, because I can't remember that scene.

Re: Friday night's episode - wow, what a killer episode (no pun intended.) Hated to see Cally go. This season so far is living up to my expectations.

Yeah, it's almost Gap dark.

I approve, though I did like Cally.

Minor annoyance: Why do they have surveillance cameras in random corridors, but not in essential, high-risk places like hanger decks and oh, I don't know, maybe the brig?

I'm sticking with my theory because I don't have anything better. I know it's unlikely in the extreme. Still, the raiders are more perceptive than the skinjobs, at least in this matter. Makes sense that the centurions would be the same.

If it is someone still in the fleet, why didn't they hear the music?

Also, I need to watch the Eye of Jupiter episode again, but didn't D'Anna apologize after she saw whatever it was that she saw? What was that about?

I think that everything that happened in Razor is extremely relevant to what is happening now.

Soon there will be four, glorious in awakening.

Struggling with the knowledge of their true selves.

The pain of revelation bringing new clarity.

And in the midst of confusion he will find her, enemies brought together by impossible longing, enemies now joined as one.

The way forward at once unthinkable, yet inevitable.

And the fifth, still in shadow, will claw toward the light, hungering for redemption that will only come in the howl of terrible suffering.

I can see them all.

The seven, now six, self-described machines who believe themselves without sin.

But in time, it is sin that will consume them.

They will know enmity, bitterness, the wrenching agony of the one splintering into the many.

And then they will join the promised land, gathered on the wings of an angel.

Not an end, but a beginning.

Some of it is obvious, some of it only now becoming clear, some of it still what-the-frak?

And why were they still abducting people?

Excellent, excellent episode.

By the way, anyone notice that the weapons locker was 1701D?

Yep.

Really??? Holy cow!! I actually couldn't read the numbers. Not sure why not. I was distracted by something or other.

I think the music has to also be a clue as to who the 5th is. Who wasnt onboard the galactica, or in the fleet for that matter.

I assume anyone in the fleet would have heard it.

Cara Thrace was gone by this time. Maybe its her...

She's too easy of a choice.

Agreed, I just don't see any of the 4 major characters (Roslin, either Adama or Starbuck) being the 5th Cylon.

I think, like Saul, it's going to be a major "WTF?!?" moment.

I still say it's gonna be an Adama: Zak or his and Lee's mom.

Nope, or Baltar - though I still wonder how he survived the first attack way back in the very beginning.

Not to mention all the other stuff about him that currently defies explanation.

No one here is exactly what he appears... Oh wait, that's Babylon 5.

Sheridan's the last Cylon.

Nobody sees that one coming....

Post by **iQuestor** » Wed Apr 23, 2008 11:06 pm

I think its ... Daggit!

OK, ten points -- who knows who daggit is?
