BSG - Spoiler Thread
damn, Dualla doing what she did certainly got me to sit up...

I wonder what the explanation is for them finding Starbuck's old viper there? Did she go through some sort of time wormhole?

I don't remember seeing anybody speculate on Ellen Tigh as Cylon #12 - I saw a few people guess Cally, but no Ellens.

Very good episode overall, though.

1. I just finished watching it, and I must say that I was quite surprised by D's

final decision. Where did Ellen resurrect, because surly the Cylons would have noticed. Did she resurrect on Earth and she's waiting for them? I have more questions than answers.

3. Its a totally flipped show.
Just for some examples.

They have a picture of the cast at the last supper, with 6 standing where Christ would sit in other paintings.

The "radiation" of Earth happened 2000 years ago, another slam on a certain belief.

Baltazar speaks about lots of doctrines about self.

And even the so called good Cylons say they are rebels, (and have even numbers). While saying everything must die, again against idea of there being more then life. Even to the point of trying to end 'resurection' of other cylons.

Although I still learn alot from it, I flip most of it when watching.

Show tonight was about hopelessness, suicide, despair.

And they have the gall to play 'watchtower'. Which hurts as many people as it might help.

But that song has many interpretations, beyond the scope of this post.

4. Ellen ...

There was some speculation about Ellen a long time ago, and it resurfaced among a couple people I know from a BSG forum after that "Last Supper" pic was released. That picture was a clue, and it came out that the last Cylon was not *in* the picture. There's a subtle, but clear gap where the cup sits on the table.

I didn't buy it at the time, but, naturally, it all makes sense now.

Well ... as much sense as any of it makes considering we now have even more questions than we did before.

Excellent episode. That made me not quite so irritated I'd had to wait so long.

6. Yeah, that ...

... and about a billion other things. :)

I'm more interested in the Starbuck story than I ever was.

8. Maybe those 5 cylons were the ones who survived?
Because where would they get the models to build the other 8?

7. If that's Starbuck in the viper
who is the person claiming she's Starbuck? My speculation: She's Ellen, only younger. That's the only way it works for me & explains her relationship with Tigh. Was the viper armed with nukes? If so & the wormhole was a time wormhole, then could she have caused the explosion that destroyed Earth?

Dualla--didn't see that one coming at all. I was hoping she'd get back with Lee, but oh well.

I don't wanna wait until next week!

10. That's a VERY interesting idea...and it appeals to me, because I'm not cool with Ellen being the
fifth cylon. If Starbuck is young Ellen, there's still one out there.
