Before the very last episode, or maybe after I’m going to have to host a BSG party and play all of them at once.

And I suspect Anders might have resurrected on that ship that was orbiting Earth thousands of years ago.

Maybe Daniel, Starbuck’s father and Baltar are the same model . . .

“Not “A” does not imply “B” especially as this show concludes.”

Could you be more specific? Where was I implying ‘not A’ was ‘B’?

Sean,

Not “A” does not imply “B” especially as this show concludes.

…Actually, Hodgman was the most annoying guest blogger Boing Boing has had so far. Guy couldn’t grasp the fact that the use of ALL CAPS for emphasis has a limited welcome that he quickly overstayed. Which is why the only real disappointment was that the episode didn’t end like this:

Nurse: “He’s checked out. There’s nobody home.”

Starbuck: “You motherfracking bastard. You said the operation was a success!”

Hodgman: “Hey, he should have booted up OSX just fine! He’s a Mac, not a PC!”

Starbuck: “Frack YOU!”

[Starbuck punches Hodgman square in nose, splitting his glasses at the nosebridge, and ramming cartildge through the back of his brain.]

Starbuck: “There. Let’s see if you can fix *that*, jerk.”

You’re right, I misstated that. I was thinking about Ellen speaking about her father, but forgot that Tryol said the Cylons on Earth could procreate. However, Ellen & the others clearly were more ‘in touch’ with humanity and what it meant to be human, as they deliberately instilled these qualities in the 8 models they created for the 12 Colony Cylons.

So I’d say the basics of my argument might stand – they essentially thought of themselves as human, so aging was something they may have wanted or seen as necessary to their nature. Then again, Tory mentioned that the humans on Kobol invented them, and given the plotline of the new Caprica series it doesn’t seem impossible that they all started out human but eventually adopted Cylon bodies. I like the cyclical nature of that – every human is a Cylon but every Cylon began as a human.

“And Ellen made John Cavil in the image of her father, but he was like a child to her. And then she slept with him on New Caprica. That’s just messed up on so many levels.”

I brought this up to the people I was watching the show with, and they promptly asked me to shut up. Haha. I noticed the Lucifer/Satan connection as well as a Cain & Abel parallel with John & Daniel.

And my bet for Daniel is Baltar.

And Ellen made John Cavil in the image of her father, but he was like a child to her. And then she slept with him on New Caprica. That’s just messed up on so many levels.

As for the seventh cylon, Daniel, I’m pretty sure it’s Starbuck’s dad, the artistic piano player. I mean why else was Starbuck glowing with the other cylons? At first, I thought Daniel could have been Daniel Graystone, but then after going back and rewatching the episode I realized that could not be the case since they final five reached the colonies during the first cylon war and then made the skin job cylons. And Daniel Graystone obviously made the robot cylons before the first war.

But my question now is what time period was it that Earth had all of these cylons? If they left Kobal 3,000 to 4000 years before, they couldn’t be during our time period. I say this because modern man has been on Earth for way way more than 4,000 year. I don’t know how long off the top of my head or anything, but I know that the Bronze Age was about 3300 BC and modern man began to write about 3, 500 years before the time of Christ–or about 5, 500 years ago which is before the time the 13th left for Earth. I know it’s just a show, but the writers have been pretty good about other things so why not history?
