i watched this episode last weekend. i don’t think that i’ll be writing and ranting about this show as i watch it like i do other shows. Battlestar Galactica is in another league; when i watch it, the laptop is closed.

Dualla’s suicide … damn. … she felt a bit of happiness then killed herself because she had no hope of feeling that way again. damn.

i really would not have thought Ellen was the final Cylon. on SyFy Portal they posted an article breaking down the suspects for the final Cylon and i dismissed Ellen as an obvious ‘no’. i thought it would be Gaeta, especially since he had a whole webisode series devoted to him.

as for Starbuck… she died on Earth and her ship was destroyed. so she and her ship are an exact replica of themselves. just like the final five are replicas of themselves who died on earth 2000 years ago. is Starbuck now a Cylon, and if so, was she a Cylon before? was earth originally populated by human who developed a replica/cloning technology so when they died they were remade as Cylons? or what makes the replicas? something on Earth? something outside of Earth? a machine/technology? were the final five really born in the colonies? or were they created by the Cylons/Earth-Cylon technology and planted in the colonies? are they some kind of technological reincarnation placed in the genetic code of the colonial humans?

and since the ancient earthlings/13th colony are Cylon, does that mean that the original humans who left Kobol for earth, designed Cylons and were overrun by them? or were the Cylons created on Kobol and went out to be a 13th colony on their own? is my knowledge of Battlestar universe history really messed up and i’m making completely wrong assumptions?

i’m sure i’ll find out soon enough. i could go back to the battlestar wiki encyclopedia, but that site is usually so slow, i get frustrated.

my understanding is that the series has promised to answer all questions, so i shall be patient and learn them.

next week looks like a colonial civil war to mirror the Cylon civil war.
