Warning: If you aren't all caught up on your BSG watching, you may want to skip this post until you are.
Battlestar Galactica is starting up again this Friday, and we know who 4 of the final five Cylons are (and have for nearly two years now). It seems that the suspense over the final Cylon has been built up to the point where no matter how well it's done, it will be considered a let down. That said, I figure why not add a thought of my own* on the subject.
If we know who eleven of the twelve are, but we also know that Tigh and a 6 are going to have a baby, do we perhaps know who the last model is? After all, unless things work out very differently when a mommy Cylon and a daddy Cylon love each other very much, the child should be completely Cylon, but different than either parent. Of course, this is just a thought and far from being any actually answer. I honestly don't have any clue what's going to actually happen. Really, I think most of us have already had how we thought the show would end pulled right out from under us, so predictions seem kind of futile.
I guess we'll find out soon.
*Another thought that I did find interesting but that is not originally my own: Forget asking "Who is Number One?" or even "Who does Number 2 work for?", we should be more concerned with the identity of number 7. We know who 1, 2 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 are, but supposedly there are no model numbers for Tigh, Anders, Tyrol and Tory. If they don't have numbers, why did the original seven skip the number 7 and have the Sharons as number 8? Ok, I'm not convinced that this means anything other than that the writers decided not to have model numbers for the final five until after they assigned the first seven, but it could mean something. And if nothing else, it gave me a way to work in references to The Prisoner and Austin Powers.
