h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Do you really want to know who it is?

yes...

I guess I have to wait years to find out if I'm going to wait until season four will be broadcasted here.

Who is it? Does anyone know? I thought there are at least half a season left to be broadcasted yet.

My thoughts are Starbuck, admiral Adama or Lee. Guess Roslin is out of question since she's always dying. Baltar would bee too obvious.

Well, I have it from Roymondo who got it from somewhere else - I'll leave it up to you to decide whether you trust him as a source

According to him, the 5th Cylon is Roslin and the cancer thing still has to be worked out. In a wierd way, it kinda makes sense.

Hmm, guess Br Socket aka Roymondo ain't the most trustworthy researcher I've met... But I assume the cancer thingy is a good cover.

Glad it's not my fav Starbuck. I've got a thing for those strong mean women, probably 'cause I can't drink like that any more

I just ordered Razor from amazon. That will have to cure my BSG abstinence a little.

Razor is awfully good. I bought it using some of my Christmas money and loved it.

As for Roslin - her being the fifth Cylon explains something which happened in the mini-series, when Lee's desperation trick to save Colonial One from the Cylon Raiders works, even though he says himself it shouldn't have.

Either the Cylons are somehow aware of the final 5 and the raiders knew not to shoot, or fate is playing a hand. Either way, it's interesting.

I read somewhere that Kendra Shaw in Razor could be the 5th cylon. There was some comment about hearing the same music as when the four new ones (Anders, Tigh, Tyrol and Foster) became aware of being cylons.

I'll have to check that one out. She's a great character in Razor, so if they bring her back into it, I'd be happy.

Just looking back through my old convos and came across this.

Do you know the 5th Cylon has finally been revealed now?

Iago

Nope

There's a horrible lack of BSG in the Far North. You have to resort to the DVDs (up to season three) or to the slash sites (that as usual mostly contain crap).

So - who?

Ellen Tigh.

A lot of the smart money was on Dualla until she killed herself, and then Saul Tigh has a vision and sees Ellen and she's says she's the Fifth.

Hm. That was a surprise. Never even thought about her.

So the Tighs are the Cylon couple #1?

Well, the Final 5 it turns out all lived on Earth 2000 years before BSG started, until Earth was nuked.

How they got to the 12 Colonies, and what happened to Earth, is still to be explained.

I'm waiting for the 13th tribe - the ones who left the Colonies and returned to earth. Since so much of old mythology is used, maybe they've used the new ageish idea of the lunar zodiac with the dragon as the 13th sign.
