Imagine it. You live with your family. A letter comes in the mail. It tells you that one of you is a frakkin skin-job, a dirty Cylon!
Don’t say you haven’t thought about it. We all know you have. Now you can watch it play out. As usual, additional episodes inside. Be sure to get through them all, episode 1.4 is by far the best!
I’ve been wondering for a few weeks what the new hook of the show would be. I mean, they had the whole “Who is the fifth cylon” thing going for so long, I think a lot of people were kind of lost without it.
Not anymore!
“She knows the truth!”
WHAT!?!?! Truth!? Truth about what? Why earth is a radioactive dump? Why the cylons lived there? Why the final five had no idea they were cylons? Why dogs like to fart and pretend that it didn’t happen!?
One thing is for sure… She was able to be reborn and she was nowhere near a resurrection center… At least, not one that we know of. They are still very close to earth, I am guessing there is one there.
Also, I am guessing that by the end of the series we are going to see the end of Galactica. The ship is a dump, falling apart, and they’re already hinting about it.
So what is it people? What’s this big truth that Helen, the final cylon, knows?
It’s official. The fifth Cylon is Helen.
Well, color me surprised. This one I didn’t see coming. As the episode went on I was sure Starbuck was the final cylon. I guess that’s what the writers and creators wanted me to think. Well, they got me, and in a big way.
I find their choice to be interesting for a number of reason, most importantly, Helen is dead. Or, at least, we think she’s dead. If I understood the series correctly, the final five cylons do not have the ability to be reborn if they are killed. This single fact makes them all the more special.
So is Helen alive or dead? Right before she was killed on earth she mentions the fact that “Everything is in place… We’ll be reborn together.” Does this mean there is a resurrection center there on earth? Maybe on a nearby planet? Whatever it is, all of the final five cylons were killed on earth and obviously reborn at some point, probably many times as they grow and age just as regular humans do… So how are they doing it? Post some comments below!
And I can’t even get started on what I think about the whole Starbuck situation… I think I’ll let that one simmer for a while.
