Being a cylon could also explain Tigh’s herculean resistance to alcohol.

I’m told there’s a torrent of Razor floating around. I may pull the trigger on it tonight.

I like the idea of God being played by Dirk Benedict. That would be cool.

2) I’ve heard Moore say that the Final Five are fundamentally different from the seven cylons we’ve already seen. What I’m hoping he doesn’t do is plant some sort of retro continuity macguffin in Razor that doesn’t fit with everything we’ve seen so far.

A friend of mine has a theory like yours that fits with the idea that “all of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.” He believes that this is one big long repeating cycle: Humans on Earth migrate to Kobol, then to the twelve colonies, where they create cylons, who eventually create humanoid versions of themselves, who drive the humans back to Kobol, and back to Earth. And then you start all over again, like The Matrix.

One thing about the “signposts” that the humans have encountered on Kobol and afterwards: they were obviously put there by someone who knew the way back to Earth, which means that they probably came from there in the first place. How would someone know what the constellations looked like while one was standing on Earth, unless they had been there already?

1. Katee has said in numerous articles that the show creators have told her that Starbuck is NOT a Cylon.  I don’t think this is a red herring, since cast and crew have never directly lied in interviews. So I trust that.

2. Ronald Moore has said that the four Cylons revealed in the season finale will challenge our notions of what Cylons are and what their history has been.  I’ve been digesting this for a while, and this is what I think:  I think we’ve never questioned the timeline that Cylons were robots that build better versions of themselves that looked like humans.  What if Cylons STARTED OUT looking like humans (perhaps they’re aliens? Mutants?) and have been manipulating things for a long time…even creating the robot Cylons long ago…and laying the seeds for their revolt.  Maybe this has all been planned to get the Colonials out of the colonies and looking for Earth, and everyone is playing into the hands of the original Cylons (what we now call “the final five.”)

Thoughts?

I can’t posit any theories other than what you’ve got, but I really hope that, for example, if Baltar ISN’T a Cylon, then SOME explanation is given for the fact that the hallucination in his head delivered him real information. Even just the chip theory would solve that problem. I also hope some explanation is given for Starbuck’s return and strange supernatural powers.

Startbuck could be her own clone, created from the uterus or cells or whatever were taken from her on Caprica. That’d be interesting.

Can’t wait for Razor. Love seeing the 70’s toasters in action, although the one in the preview looks like a CGI ragdoll.

I’m not 100% sure what the things in Baltar and Caprica Six’s heads are, but they have to be “real” because they were able to give noth of them important information. Maybe they are what they say, emissaries of some godlike power.

Have you seen the Season 4 trailer? Starbuck is most definitely alive.

Does anyone have information on how to see Razor in the theaters?

This is very well thought out though.  Up until this, I was pretty squarely in the “it’s lame it’s Tigh” camp, but you’re right.  It was post-first war so it actually makes a lot of sense.  What are your theories to the Six/Baltar connection?  She starts seeing him in her head after she resurrects, what’s it all mean?

It’s going to take a lot for me to buy that Starbuck is alive, and that she’s been to Earth… or at least, it’s going to take some smart writing.

The interesting bit, as we head into the long stretch towards the new season (can you believe it doesn’t start till April!?), is that we should see more of the Earth/Caprica connection.  I forget who, but a question was asked about why does it seem like a lot of Earth technology exists in BSG world, and it was hinted that there was a very good reason that Earth and the Colonies were connected.  Now, we have a Bob Dylan song that four folks, from different planets, seem to know.  For a moment, I thought it was that they were receiving a signal from Earth, almost like tuning into a radio station, but really I’m confused by it all, but still interested.

Razor is bad ass btw.  I highly recommend to those that can to see it in a theater.  Not that I did, but I would have loved to.
