Am I the only one who noticed that the Earth they showed in the final shot (or at least North America) doesn't look like present-day Earth? It looked pretty well-forested, and no cities are evident on the surface. Doesn't our Earth look pretty built-up from orbit?

You cant see any cities from space, if that's what you're asking.

However, Tigh can't be a Cylon. Adama knew him when the Cylons were still toasters. Unless they used him for one of the models and killed the original, but that's too convoluted.

No, he did not. Adama and Tigh first met sometime after the Cylon War when the military demobilized. When Adama got reinstated, he helped get Tigh reinstated too. As we don't know when the Cylons infiltrated Colonial society.

But again, the military would have records that Tigh served in the War. Unless the Cylons used a template for Tigh...yeah, that's the only way I can figure outta that.

If that's the case, well the human models age as in the flashbacks we saw, Tigh had hair.

Oh, and can they fucking stop picking on the Chief.

Frankly, I think the only real way you can tell that Earth is inhabited from orbit is because of the lights on the nightside.

Not from that shot's perspective anyway.

Didn't notice, but I'll see if I can catch that the second go around.

If it is, it could be either early Earth or, more likely, Earth after the 13th tribe left.

I don't think this Starbuck is real. It just can't be. I mean, where the hell did she get a new Viper?

This could be well after the civilization in which the Twelve Colonies came from and the 13th colony returned to had fallen, so signs civilization might be somewhat buried at the moment.

I think, far more important is this:

If she did get a new Mk 2 Viper. HOW THE HELL DID IT GET THERE WITHOUT A MOTHERSHIP.

5

This was a great cliffhanger because it left a bunch of questions and no answers.

Th guitar stuff was good, but the vocalist for the song was pretty blah.

And I bet they shot the scene with Kara JUST with Jamie Bamber, and no one else saw that part of the script.

So is this image bogus? (Warning, very big)

It seems to me that there's quite a lot of motherships there. An entire fleet of them, in fact.

Have a very nice day.

Oh, the deception! Moore and Eick, you win this round!!

CaptJodan · Post by **CaptJodan** » 2007-03-25 11:32pm

No one else reported this odd contact. Not that that's saying much, but it does track with what happened to Kara.

WAIT A FRAKKIN SECOND!

CHIEF HAS A SON, DAMMIT!!!!

CaptJodan · Post by **CaptJodan** » 2007-03-25 11:33pm

I think I'm going to give it a 5 for shear mindfuckery, and it finally had me paying attention and caring from the moment Lee went on his idiotic tirade until the end.

Perhaps that huge brown out that hit the fleet was a side effect of Starbuck arriving.

These final five just seem.....different somehow. There was SOME reason why the others didn't speak about them anymore. Maybe they have some kind of other power, or maybe the final five were from the 13th tribe originally, maybe not Cylons but humans that the Cylons pretended they were based off of...and....yeah this is sounding more retarded the more I think about it.

Post by **fgalkin** » 2007-03-25 11:36pm

I think the (not so)Final 4 are hearing things. They can't be toasters, not Tigh or Tyrol.

Have a very nice day.

So Does Athena. It seems that Human + Love + Cylon = Baby. If Tyrol is a toaster that is.

It's not bogus or fake. It's simply a photo that was taken on the set during shooting. In the final version of the episode you can't see their identities because of the post-production lighting effects. What you're seeing are just the extras they used on the set in costume to represent the Final Five in Three's vision.

Me too. All five of the people who were hearing the music were on New Caprica and all of this started happening after Six arrived. I think she may have accidentally triggered the mindfuckery switch.

Braedley · Post by **Braedley** » 2007-03-25 11:38pm

Even if that photo isn't a fake, it really doesn't matter. They wouldn't tell the actors who actually play the final that they are the final five. Hell, those four probably don't know for sure if they are part of the final five.
