Humans came from Cylons… Not the other way around.

Dualla’s sudden and shocking death still resonates with me. Especially after seeing the episode a third time. And the scene with Starbuck burning her own body….whoa. Heavy, heavy stuff. (That scene was brilliantly shot). And RDM promises a lot more of the “heavy” and “very dark”. I’m still catching my breath from the last one. Seems we’re all in for quite a wild ride.

The fact that Ellen is the FC is not at all disappointing. If you read a recent RDM interview with Chicago Tribune’s Maureen Ryan, you’ll understand just WHY he and the writers decided to do this. And again, for those of you still pissin’ and moanin’ that Ellen is the Fifth, please go back and watch Season One’s, “Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down”. That ep is *clearly* hinting that Ellen is a Cylon. It really does make sense when you weigh everything. IMHO the other choices for the FC would not nearly have had that much of an impact or an emotional gut punch. Again, just my opinion.

Questions I still would like answered:

1. Who and WHAT is Starbuck?
2. Who is orchestrating this madness?
3 Who *really* IS Gaius Baltar?
4. What exactly is the Opera House?
5. Why is the song “All Along the Watchtower” so relevant?
6. Why is Hera so important?
7. What did Leoben mean when he whispered “Adama is a Cylon” in Season One?
8. What exactly are the Hybrids? Who programmed them?
9. Did Roslin and Adama do the nasty?
10.Why did Leoben freak out?

I have tons more questions but I’ll stop right there. As far as Ellen Tigh coming back, I totally think she will soon make an appearance. If you check out the clips on YWKTT there’s a scene when they all hurry to meet a Raptor that’s just landed, and as a Number 8 gets out, “someone” comes out behind her (we can assume since the screen goes black) and Roslin says, “Oh my gods…”
I’m pretty sure that’s a reaction to the FC, Ellen Tigh “seemingly” coming back from the dead. But like many have already stated, Ellen probably didn’t die at all and was with one of the Cavils all along.

Can’t wait until next week!

(Kandyse McClure….your grace and beauty will indeed by missed!)

As far as Ellen is concerned, go back to the Season One episode, “Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down”. There’s a WHOLE LOT going on with the writers “hinting” that she is a Cylon, than just Baltar’s lame detection test. Like how exactly did she get onto The Rising Star? How come she doesn’t remember how she got off Caprica? Why did Number Six say to Baltar, “there’s something very different (or special) about this one”. Lots of obvious “in-your-face” moments in that ep pointing to Ellen being a Cylon. And considering everything, it all fits. I’m not at all disappointed that Ellen is the FC. Not at all.

My brother and I a while back discussed there being 13 Cylons, since there are 13 Colonies. I actually think there are still only 12 known Cylon models, and Hera is the 13th, in that she bridges the gap, or connects the two together. That’s why she’s so important.
And speaking of Hera, I’m still sticking with Kendra Shaw being a grown-up version of Hera. It just makes sense. Especially since we just found out that certain Cylons can be “reborn”. Think about it: WHY did the Hybrid in “Razor” tell Kendra that he had been watching her “all her life”? What did that mean exactly? WHO IS KENDRA SHAW??! Why would they write an entire episode around that character?

A friend of mine felt vindicated when they discovered that “Earth” (or whatever the heck it is) was occupied by Cylon remains.
He still thinks that EVERYONE IS A CYLON. (”ehh, could be…”)

Okay, these are the questions I’m hoping to get frakkin answered:

1. Who and WHAT the heck is Starbuck?
2. Why are the FF so important?
3. Who is orchestrating all of this madness?
4. Who *really* is Gaius Baltar?
5. Did Roslin and Adama do the nasty?

[Okay that last one isn't so important. ]

And we DO see Ellen again, I’m sure of it since I personally don’t think she died back on New Caprica. I think she’s with Cavil and will soon make a very dramatic appearance. If you watch one of the clips on YWKTT, “someone” comes off that Raptor behind a Number 8 that manages to elicit an “Oh my gods” from Roslin. She’s obviously shocked by this “someone’s” appearance, and who else could evoke such a reaction like that? Ellen Tigh.

I say we are in for a lot of shocks and “holy frak” moments. Buckle up, everyone. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.

There is a GREAT article with great links but this forum won’t let me post the link, but put in Battlestar and Chicago Tribune and you should get it! Well worth the read! Lots of interviews and yummy insider goodness!
