What Are Your Battlestar Galactica Theories?
April 24th, 2008 by 2xKnight
I got a very good comment from Marc on a previous post about Battlestar Galactica theories. I just had to point it out for those who may have already read that post.
I’d also like to invite you to share your ideas about BSG
I’ll hide the full post to keep it spoiler safe. There could be a lot of speculation flying around.
Last warning, there probably will be spoilers.
Now, check out this theory about the final cylon…

Here is my theory. It doesnt have a great amount of evidence but I do see some.
Ron Moore said that the final cylon was not in the season four promotional poster.

The last cylon may be Ellen Tigh.
Looking at the final four who are with the fleet, all but one of them had a fling with another cylon without knowing it.
Tyrol with Boomer and Anders with Tory Foster (presidential aide) with each other.
Kind of as if they were unconsciously attracted to each other.
If Ellen Tigh were the last cylon that would complete that pattern.
Then there is how Ellen entered the story line.
She had no memory of being put on a vessel and was found after being unconscious for two weeks. Very suspicious.
Adama and the president (I think) had their doubts. At the end of that episode, Number 6 asks Baltar if Ellen really did pass his Cylon detector. Answering with a smirk, he said ‘I’ll never tell’.
One downside is that I know of no instance when #3 and Ellen were in a scene together. Remember that #3 saw the final cylon and said ‘I’m sorry, I didnt know.’
I welcome your comments

That’s a pretty good theory. I haven’t heard that one before. I’m sure we all suspected her when she first showed up, but how many of us would still suspect her?
Thanks once again for sharing that with us Marc.

That is a fascinating theory and it never occurred to me! I was suspicious of Ellen Tigh when her character first appeared because of the strange circumstances but I never considered her to be the final Cylon.
I’ve wondered about President Laura Roslin but she does appear in the poster. I’ve also wondered about Gaeta and Dee Dualla. And neither appear in the poster.
I’ve also considered if Ellen Tigh might be an aged version of Six. A theory that was given some credence after Friday’s episode.
I really don’t know. I love the show and the writing is amazing. I can’t wait to see how they wrap it up but I’ll mourn the passing of such a wonderful television show!

Yeah, it would be kind of a surprise for someone that was once a suspected cylon to be a cylon at this point. The other 4 are the last people you’d expect to be skin jobs.
Gaeta or Duala… that would cause some major havoc. Between the two of them they pretty much run Galactica. I do think it’d be interesting to see Gaeta as a cylon, especially after all the time he worked with them and against them on New Caprica.
Whoever it is, I’m sure it’ll be great.
How is this for a theory? I think the old gods may be being reborn into reality. Notice that the Cylon/Human Hybrid from Hello and Athena is named Herra. The Idea that all of it had been done before and will be again and the apparrent absence of the gods( strongly indicates in season 1 that they did exhist) would indicate that the gods would have to come back into being at some point what ever they really were. It all seems to be cyclical. They never really answer the question of who were the gods or who God is ect… The gods are metephores for something that drives the humans like all of their disperite emotions,goals and Ideas where as the Cylons are or have been singular in purpose and singular in diety. Now in season 4, the cylons are no-longer a force for static or odered reality and the humans are more singular and unified. The lines are being blurred. The show is so way out in left field at this point that their is no telling what they will do.
That is a very cool idea. It would certainly go along with the way the show has changed over time. It was originally much more real than the previous version, but it’s been drifting towards a fantasy/myth/legend story for a while now.
I think that would take a lot of explaining though. As cool as it sounds, it would leave a lot of people scratching their heads and wondering WTF just happened. I guess that’s been a recurring theme this season though, hasn’t it?
