I'm glad they explained the thought process, though I think I would have liked a more dramatic choice for the last cylon. It just seemed like it was all leading toward that. Ellen seems anti-climactic.SQThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251030404220909306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783795611509940776.post-82301890371900224592009-01-17T13:08:00.000-08:002009-01-17T13:08:00.000-08:00Oop it looks like Ron has confirmed that Ellen rea...Oop it looks like Ron has confirmed that Ellen really is the 5th in this little interview:<BR/>http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2009/01/final-fifth-cylon-ellen-tigh-battlestar-galactica-dualla-dee-.html<BR/>I nabbed. I think I kinda dig the 'pair' notion, a star crossed pair which makes you understand how protective Tigh is when it comes to Ellen no matter what she did and who knew about it. <BR/><BR/>Some other interesting questions posed and answered as well.

I remember something once when Six said that cylons can vividly imagine themselves in different surroundings. I can't remember exactly. But early on I always thought Baltar could be a cylon because of the way he always had vivid hallucinations of Six-- though I now doubt he's a cylon. <BR/><BR/>I've been thinking about it. I think Dee could be a cylon. When she was on the beach and found the jacks she lost it. I think she might have had a memory like the Chief, Sam and Tigh did-- of when the planet was annihilated. I'm not sure, but someone one another board mentioned that there was a picture of Dee on the beach in her locker and it might have been a clue that Dee had a memory of the beach on Earth. If so, that might explain why she shot herself. She could have wanted to see if she'd resurrect somewhere else. Just a thought.SQThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251030404220909306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783795611509940776.post-53590312277555295342009-01-17T11:46:00.000-08:002009-01-17T11:46:00.000-08:00SQT: Its okay, blog's been up for like a week or ...SQT: Its okay, blog's been up for like a week or so. You havent missed much. *grin* I too wish I was in CA watching it with other BSG geeks because it really is one of the best shows on television and the gambit of emotions running through my head last night was amazing. <BR/><BR/>I too thought they might bring the whole Ship of Light thing into the series due to the picture. It would also account for Kara's ship being white and perfect and being brought back to life. However, part of me hopes that they dont go too far into that old storyline where things turned all good vs evil. I prefer the questions like 'what makes us human' and such that Ron and David put out there. Still, I think Kara is going to play a big part in these next 9 episodes. They have to resolve how she came back before the series ends. I had always thought that maybe it was the fifth cylon that had saved her, that had been 'head Leoben' in the Maelstrom episode, but maybe it was Seraph instead. *shrug* I still think it was cool that for once Leoben was afraid of *her*. That takes a bit of doing you would think. <BR/><BR/>The Ellen as a red herring thing is a good notion. Things just didnt fit after the credits rolled. Something isnt quite right. It seems far too easy. I like the Ellen = Six theory and yet these final five seem to actually age and thus far we've only seen now 'Six'. Though we dont know all that happened on New Caprica, having Ellen Six and Six Six in the same room would have been odd. Would they have recognized one another? But like I said Ellen being the 5th is too easy, too simple. <BR/><BR/>Ooh I could discuss this all day. *grin* <BR/><BR/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR/><BR/>Melody: pleasure to meet you from one frakker to another.

I would have loved watching BSG with you, drinking a frou frou drink and eating brownies. Sounds like heaven. <BR/><BR/>Okay. <BR/><BR/>My take-- which isn't worth much. But still. <BR/><BR/>The Ellen thing has me confused, which is the point I suppose. I guess it's because of the Kara thing. Kara thinks she's a cylon, that seems pretty clear. But if you go back to when she was painting the picture on the wall and there was a pretty clear picture of the <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Lights" REL="nofollow">Ship of Lights</A>, which goes back to the original BSG. I don't know how close the show's writers are going to stick with the original story, but I think they're going to bring that storyline in to explain Kara's disappearance. So I don't think she's a cylon. <BR/><BR/>Ellen though... I think she may be a red herring. Tigh has hallucinated before (as cylons are prone to do) that he's seen Ellen, so she may not be the actual last cylon. Another twist might be that she's an aged Six. This might make sense since the Thirteenth Colony is made up of Cylons-- they can obviously age since Tigh has known Adama since they were young. <I>And</I> Tigh was totally enthralled with Six when she was locked up on the Galactica, and that might have been because she looked like a young Ellen. If that's the case, the last cylon could still be anyone.SQThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251030404220909306noreply@blogger.com
