Tigh and the other 3 turning out to be cylons3.
Starbuck showing up alive and well (quite possibly the last of the Final Five :confused:)
4.
The season ending on a cliffhanger :bored:

1. Baltar getting exonerated
[SPOILER]Agreed, this was no great surprise.[/SPOILER]
2. Tigh and the other 3 turning out to be cylons
[SPOILER]So you actually think they're Cylons? Not gonna happen. And if it does happen, I wash my hands of this whole show. But it's not. [/SPOILER]
3. Starbuck showing up alive and well (quite possibly the last of the Final Five :confused:)
[SPOILER]Would the fifth not be the president? She's interacting with the Cylons on a much more pronounced level than anyone else. (Was she hearing the music too?)[/SPOILER]
4. The season ending on a cliffhanger :bored:
That doesn't count.
There's just no way that what's being implied - [SPOILER]that we're being introduced to the Final Five by way of Jimi Hendrix[/SPOILER] - makes any sense.

[SPOILER]Why not? When she saw the Final Five in "Rapture", D'Anna said "You! Forgive me, I had no idea." - seeing that she hadn't interacted with THAT many humans, who could she refer to? I can only think of Tigh (in regard to the fact that he was being thoroughly abused while in captivity), and Baltar (because of his unpleasant position as a scapegoat?)[/SPOILER]
Why would you dislike so badly it if they indeed turn out to be cylons anyway?Fafhrd on 26/3/2007 at 06:37

I've seen this expressed on other boards, and frankly I don't get it. How can they NOT be, at this point? They all heard the music, they were all drawn to the same place on the ship, the restoration of power to the fleet happened immediately after they acknowledged what they were. What evidence supports them NOT being Cylons?

I'm willing to suspend an awful lot of disbelief for this show, but there is simply no explanation for how all these Cylons ended up being posted to the one battlestar to survive the Cylon onslaught. It's so utterly beyond reason that I've discounted it completely, and actually have more interest in figuring out how Hendrix fits into all this.

[SPOILER]I think there's a hand yet to be played here - a third option. I think Bob Dylan's lyrics are meant to signify influence from EARTH, not the Cylons. I really doubt that these four are the final five. And if they are... well, I think the writers could have been a bit more clever. On the other hand, my greatest fear is a revisit to Galactica 1980.[/SPOILER]

Malygris, I think you're being too narrow in your notions of what the Cylons are.
[spoiler]Just because whoever may or may not be a Cylon, that doesn't mean they are Cylons of the same kind as the good ol' toasters or even the seven models we've seen. It is quite possible that the final five are something entirely different and not sleeper agents such as Boomer was.[/spoiler]
The music used actually makes me think a) that the writers have a plan (OMG, they're all Cylons! :p), and b) that the issue of Earth will be a lot more interesting and out there than anything I imagined previously.

But it's already been established that the Cylons who wiped out the Colonies don't know who the final five are, and that the final five's connections to the rest of the Cylon race are tenuous, at best, and that speaking of them, or trying to find who they are, is taboo, hence the boxing of Deanna and her entire line.
And "this has all happened before, it will all happen again" is from the HUMAN holy texts.
