I still dont care about the identity, the other stuff is far more interesting.

"Starbuck - I mean, what the hell is she if she isn't a cylon?"

Time travel?

That was her dead, only she isnt that her....yet.

Either that or theres a god that likes replicating things that hit its planet.

@twDarkflame: I'm not buying time travel... remember, Starbuck sees a crashed viper, and a burned out corpse w/ a bit of blonde hair. I'm betting the corpse is burned from the crash, it's not 2,000 years old. Which means she arrived on new earth, not old earth. So that means the resurrection device is somewhere on earth. I'm betting we'll see Ellen and possibly others (I'm still not buying "final" as absolute) during the next episodes.

Sure, that works if they were using the Greek system. I spent long nights trying to unravel the 12 cylon models as the 12 human personality archetypes posited by Jung. No simple and easy task, I tell you. Each archetype aligns with at least 2 models, with the exception of Six, who has just GOT to be the Lover.

The final cylon got left behind accidentally on Caprica after the war. He was heading for the Galactica as part of The Plan and then he remembered he forgot his, um, allergy medicine and went back to his apartment. Yeah. So anyway, he missed his ride.

So like it's all one big misunderstanding. Really. He was going to explain the whole thing to everyone in episode 3 of the first season.

Anyway, I don't know where he is now but he left a message on his answering machine explaining everything and how to avoid "this all happening again." You can reach him at CYLON-75.

The problem with the "It's all a cycle and this all happened in our past" theories, to my mind, is how do you explain, like, fossils and geological evidence of evolution and so forth?

Maybe some of the theories get into that? I haven't read them very closely.

I've actually thought alot about that last theory. The whole series has been about allegory and role reversal of the current american political-religious situation, I figured it all started with us, on earth then a diaspora, then the cylons invented, then people com back to earth. A destroyed earth fits in perfectly and the whole circular nature is covered by "all this has happened before, and will happen again."

There are a lot of ways you can go with the details, but I think this is where we are heading.

@DrEmilioLizardo: It definitely sounds plausible. They'll have to execute it very, very well for it not to be a let-down, 'cause the transcendental-cyclical thing has become a bit of a trope, and for better or worse, audiences expect Awesome Surprises these days.

I want the whole cast altogether, speculating who it is. Then as the episode closes, Adama looks to the camera and goes... "The final cylon... is YOU!"

Que cheering and party poppers.

@Davio: I fear there are people who beat both of us to it. But I do like your execution better than mine, as long as Adama also smiles and gives the camera big thumbs-up. :-)

How about Roslin but all her machinations were not subconscious. She knew all along and has been playing the fleet this entire time.

Still voting Billy.

It's the ship. The ship is the last Cylon. Moore has us all dancing around what's been infront of our faces from day one. The final Cylon is the title character.

Just my opinion.

Honestly, I've heard this theory a lot lately. Sounds interesting, but kinda lame.

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

That does sound like the birth of a baby.

Which means then that it isn't.

Actually I am willing to bet money that the "Final Cylon" will be a completely human baby born of one of the Cylon chicks. I'm willing to speculate that it will be something incredibly silly and outrageous, like the Cylons' divine goal was always to simply evolve into their makers or something. Something that will leave people groaning by the hundreds of thousands.

Wow. Not content with the ordinary, this show has actually invented new species of radically superior mutant sharks to jump.
