Speculation on Battlestar Galactica (RDM)
Plausible Speculation
- It appears that, in season 3, everything that's happened to Baltar since his election has served (from a dramatic or storytelling perspective) to strip away his arrogance. Particularly the suicide attempt provoked by internal Six in Taking a Break From All Your Worries. -- 21:08, 30 January 2007 (CST)
- In Exodus, Part I it was mentioned that the Cylons are stretching their resources thin. I suspect that the Cylons are at either in a civil war (likely between the earlier and later models, although possibly between two divergent branches) or at war with some other civilization. I suspect that they destroyed the Twelve Colonies because they were paranoid about the possibility of fighting a war on two fronts. -- 21:56, 30 January 2007 (CST)
- The five priests of the One Whose Name Cannot be Spoken aren't the final five, but they may have been the previous cycle's equivalent of Cylons. -- 00:43, 1 February 2007 (CST)
- Apparently four of the final five will be revealed in the season finale. If Baltar is a Cylon, I strongly suspect that he will be convicted, executed and then wake up in a Cylon rebirthing tank surrounded by three other Cylon models. -- 02:00, 5 February 2007 (CST)
Wild Speculation
- If Baltar is not one of the Final Five then he's half-Cylon like Hera, which would push the origin of humanoid Cylons back by 2 or 3 decades. -- 00:43, 1 February 2007 (CST)
- If the Cylons have an equivalent of the Imperious Leader, it is probably a network of Hybrids and similar Cylon supercomputers, however most short-term decisions are delegated to the humanoid models. -- 02:07, 6 February 2007 (CST)
- Baltar died in the nuclear blast on Caprica, got resurrected and subconsciously blocked out the memories which contradicted his cover identity. -- 01:38, 28 February 2007 (CST)
- In at least some of the previous cycles the Cylons (or their conterparts) wiped out the humans of the Twelve Colonies (or their counterparts) and interbred with the humans of Earth. Every modern human has at least a small amount of Cylon (or Cylon counterpart) ancestry. -- 01:48, 28 February 2007 (CST)
- Of the Final Five, at least one is obvious (such as Baltar or Starbuck), one is unexpected (such as an Adama, Saul Tigh or Cally), one is unheard of (a new character) and one was presumed dead (such as Kat, Ellen Tigh or Billy Keikeya, this may overlap with either of the first two categories). -- 00:31, 2 March 2007 (CST)
- Maelstrom will have a scene in which Starbuck wakes up in a rebirthing tank and kills Leoben, although it may be in a dream. -- 00:34, 2 March 2007 (CST)
