Battlestar Galactica's Secret Cylons Tell All

I always assumed that D'Anna was apologizing to Sam, because she almost killed him on Caprica in Downloaded. D'anna didn't take out Saul's eye, Doral did.

@Venusian: Look, these episodes aired months ago. It's not io9's responsibility to keep you from getting spoilered just because you're behind.

Re: spoilers.

Above all else: the network has these actors on a PRESS JUNKET talking about this aspect of the show. This is a Sci-Fi NEWS site.

You're just going to have to learn to live with it.

@Venusian: @aninfinitenumberofmonkeys: I am astounded that you use the Internet and haven't gotten this news already.

There has got to be a statute of limitations on spoilers. Yeah, a week after it first came out is too soon, but it's been months and months.

By the way, Rhett doesn't give a damn.

@djottercreek: except that none of the other Cylons sem to have any main connection to each other_

Also having the Admiral or the President as Cylons is way too obvious - seeing as how BOTH of their immediate assistants are Cylons_

It doesn't make any sense w/ Zak either - seeing as how there's been a micro-second clip here and there_ In that case - it might as well be Ellen or Cally_ But none of them seem to have any key significance in the grand scheme of things_

Dualla is in a key position to "F" things up when the rioting starts_ And she has the tie to Lee - who has a key role - past and present in the affairs of the fleet_ Interesting_

Tom Zarek - that would just be ironic bliss to no end_ Having the original Apollo turn out to be a Cylon_ bad-Ass !!

I love the Voltron theory and the USS Enterprise reference [I caught that too]_

Col. Tigh - I had figured out when D'Anna apologized to a figure off camera in the Temple for what she'd done to them_ Thinking back thru episodes before that - the main person she'd done anything to was to torture Tigh_ So he made sense_

On Saturday night I saw Rekha Sharma [Tory] at a NYC performance of Macbeth [starring Patrick Stewart!!!]. She was standing next to me in the line for the ladies' room, and it took me a few moments to realize why she looked so familiar. I'm not a huge fan of Tory, but I'll admit that I did feel slightly giddy seeing someone from BG IRL. :)

The President is the final Cylon. And you just KNOW the reveal. She dies from the cancer and moments later comes back in a vat of goo...

I'm gonna have to go back and re-watch Season 3 - 'cause somehow I missed when Tory and Anders hooked up_

Also - I like Popplers too! Especially w/ Garlic sauce_

djottercreek — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:34:17 PDT

Does anyone remember when Number Five (Doral or something, the PR Guy Cylon) blew himself up in Season 1 or 2?

He whispered to the President that "Adama is a Cylon". That's always made me wonder. Now Lee and the Admiral seem too obvious. Maybe Zak Adama comes back in the end as the final model? He had ties to Starbuck, which might be influencing her current wackiness.

Nor can you recommend the show since the opening credits reveal the same.

Charlie Jane Anders — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 11:49:31 PDT

@Venusian: Sorry, but there has to be a limit to how far we'll go to avoid spoiling anyone for anything. If we can't even give "spoilers" for an episode that aired a year ago, then every headline will be "People In Space Did Space Stuff, Details Below." I've watched old shows on DVD before, and have just had to accept that to some extent I'll wind up knowing what happens next, even if I'm seeing them for the first time.

I'm sorry, but your inability to keep up is not everyone else's problem. This is old news. Year-old season 3 that's been rerun on SciFi more than once news.

I would also like to point out that Soylent Green is people.

@Venusian:

Simmer your ass down, chico. Nobody is forcing you to read the articles here, and nobody is forcing you to be a member of a blog community run by "idiots".

The people who haven't seen the material referenced are in the minority, and they really should think about finding an alternative to their BSG provider - maybe invest some time in learning how to employ BitTorrent (not that I would even promote 'stealing' from multi-million dollar companies 0_o).

@willsueforfood: Oh, I like that, in theory, but notin practice. The Galactica can not be sentient with its current non-emergent AI computer systems. It's all analog and slow. If it's a Cylon, it's fetal, asleep and in need of a lot of growing. The Cylon ships have those human/AI hybrids that babble on. Personally, I wouldn't want one of those things in charge of my ship.

I didn't like the idea of Tigh being a Cylon either, but I LOVED the speech he gave when he found out.

"My name is Saul Tigh. I'm an officer in the Colonial Fleet. Whatever else I am, whatever else it means, that's the man I want to be. And if I die today, that's the man I'll be. "

The final Cylon needs to be important in an ironic way. It's probably some shlub working as a janitor over on Pleasure Ship II. You know, he cleans the toilets and does the work that humans designed machines for. I relate.

Would you stop putting image spoilers on the front page you idiots. Not everyone is watching this season as it comes out. We're watching season 3 on dvd right now. If you keep doing this, I can't come to your site or recommend it can I ? And that's bad business isn't it ?

Q: What was your initial reaction when you heard you were going to be a cylon?

Michael Hogan: For me it was disbelief ... I thought that's kitschy that's cheap ... I didn't believe it, I didn't like it.

You and me both, brother.

Other Me: So say we all!
Other Other Me: So say we all!
