SPOILERS for episode 411 of course, but if you're any kind of BSG fan you wouldn't come into this thread until you've seen the most recent episode anyway.
james t kirk: I think this is a case of seeing something because you want it to be there. I really don't see RDM going in that direction at all.
willravel: I'm not sure how you can so definitively say we know who the fifth is and we know a lot more about Starbuck. If Ellen is the fifth, then it seems we know a lot less about Starbuck. If Starbuck is the fifth, then we know a lot more about her, but what's the deal with Ellen?
What I think we do know - and this isn't really anything new, because it has been brought up plenty of times before - is that all of this really has happened before, and all of it will happen again. In the end, I think they truly are all cylons - just different iterations - and most of them will die, leaving a small faction to start the cycle anew, maybe on Kobol. They could also go in the Matrix direction where the cycle is broken, but I think that would be less interesting.
Oh, and will, what third party? As much as I was a proponent of a third party to the story before, I'm growing more and more confident that humans (who I now think have been long dead) and cylons are the only characters to this story.
Either way, I'm excited to see what's next!
