Battlestar Galactica Theory

OK - so, I will post photos later of the Cherry Blossoms (they are very pretty) but for now, I will post my thoughts about only the BEST TV show playing right now...Battlestar Galactica.

First, since my Miami Vice days (I watched the episodes as they ran on NBC and of course, we lived in Maimi and we own all five seasons on DVD...) I have always liked Edward James Olmos. He is an awesome actor, and his turn as Commander (now Admiral) Adama is just stunningly great.

My BSG theories:

1) The Fifth Cylon is Captain Agathon - it just makes sense, if you go back and actually study the episodes in seasons 1 - 3, the clues are there...

2) The Five "unknown and unseen" (at least until last season when the final 4, with one holdout, were revealed) Cylon's are immortal and have existed since they were created by an ancient race of mankind and somehow outlived the conflict that destroyed that ancient race of humanity...they did not start it, but they survived, and perhaps, they resurrected the human race through genetic means to try and get it right this time. They have done this kind of manipulation many times in the past, always hoping to "get it right," thus Leoben constantly saying that "this has all happened before and will happen again..."

3) Perhaps they actually created mankind originally, hoping for some company...hey you christians, sound eeriely familiar???

4) Sharon wasn't killed by the "virus" from the probe that killed the Cylons in the Basestar at the Lion's Head Nebula because Agathon's "bodily fluids" that created their "hybrid" child made her immune somehow.

5) They will get to Earth and find that it is the present day or perhaps 100 - 500 years in the future, and discover that the Earth they find has been destroyed by the children of the humans of the 13th tribe, because they forgot who they were and couldn't stop their internal conflicts (which will be somewhat disappointing, because then the actions during their whole 4 seasons becomes nothing more than a really long nightly news segment about the mortgage crisis or Iraq). It will be something like 2 - 3,000 years ago that the 13th tribe arrived at Earth.

6) The "rag-tag" fleet of ships will be destroyed in a final, climactic battle over the Earth between the Cylon Fleet and the humans and Adama will ultimately self-destruct the Galactica, with Lee and Roslin at his side, before allowing all to be taken hostage or destroyed by the Cylon fleet. The "final five" god-like cylons will say "well FRAK us!!!" and start all over with their little experiment.

7) Agathon's and Sharon's (Athena's) child is the result of two Cylons mating, which is exactly what the final 5 have been trying for, and they hope it is the start of something perfect...


There, my thoughts about the show. I will be watching, every night possible.

So Say We All.
