As an added bonus, here is the teaser for S04E11 on YouTube.

Thanks for that - missed it on TV.

In the teaser, everyone seems to assume Admiral Adama is grieving over the death of Roslyn. Since the previews of this show are pretty standardly decieving us (D'anna telling Roslyn she's the fifth) I am guessing its either Lee, Kara or Tigh who are dead.
I also wonder if next season a few years won't have passed and Hera will be more of character next season.

It looks like Tigh holds up a gun on someone, Starbuck lighting a fire ( maybe funeral pyre? ), Adama grieving - maybe Roslin.

And yeah, it seems like everyone's forgotten about the 3 Cylon-Human hybrid children - Tyrol's kid, Athena's kid, and Caprica Six's kid. They've gotta be part of something.

galactica has six nukes left, they should have blown the remaining cylons to hell when they got to earth

Yes, because blowing things up with nukes always has a happy ending.

Don't forget Baltar informed the President way back that there weren't enough humans to continue the species in the fleet, and this was before many more deaths in battle.
To survive they need hot Cylon women.
Fortunately, all Cylon women are hot!

Deanna knew there were only four of the five "in the fleet" without checking the fleet. Maybe the fifth is a character already dead, and dead long enough for Deanna to know about it before she was boxed. My guess is Tigh's wife. That would explain her mysterious appearance in the fleet and why they were married for 30 years and had no children. Also, the producers made a point of showing us Baltar was being deceptive when he ran her through his Cylon detector. Perhaps the Five have their own fleet and resurrection hub and she will return.

I was thinking the same thing to be honest Raduque!

Probably because she knew Helo was on board her ship already

Six's kid's dad is Tigh... so not a hybrid. And if Helo is the final cylon, then Athena's isn't a hybrid either.

Yeah that's pretty interesting too.

The funny thing is, if you read enough of the conjecture on the internet, good cases can be made for about 4-5 different characters, and my favourite keeps changing

On the Doctor Who front, 0408 was a standard episode, and nothing either outstanding or contributing in any way to the overall story arc. I want to see more from the daughter character, and am waiting to see how Rose comes back.

Unpossible! We've been instructed that nobody in this picture is the fifth. (Click #10, above the chalice.)

What's stoopid is that any of the "hidden 4/5" could have been blown up a thousand times in the last 4 seasons, and several almost were.

This episode opened up the idea that maybe it was the dead priest who died on Kobol, whose name I can't remember. She seemed to come to Rosylin during the jumps, and that sort of rang a bell that it may be similiar to D'anna seeing things when she was undergoing the resurrection process.
Though, I like the idea of Tigh's wife Ellen being the fifth and coming back. Especially with Saul knocking up a Six.
Catfight?

Damn! I'm usually the first one to pull that picture out and overlooked it. Although, I've said it before and I'll say it again: There are two versions of Six in that picture...

The final 5 might have their own resurrection facilities. So the last one might have been a character who has already been killed and resurrected.

You can resurrect the known skin jobs b/c it's known they are skin jobs. But if one of the 4 was shot and killed while on New Caprica or blown up or died one of a thousand other ways, with hundreds of witnesses to their death, it's not like they can just plop a new one down in her/his place. That's waht I'm talking about. What if Anders on earth was shot between the eyes by a stray cylon bullet , in front of his rebel squad?

it was the will of god that they survive, so they did.

As a later episode demonstrated, the non-humanoid Cylons have special insight on the identities of the final five. Death likely wouldn't have been by their hands.

Overall though, I think you can chalk up their survival (as well as Starbucks', Apollo's, Baltar's and many others) to the persistent theme of destiny in the show. They're fated for bigger things than to die ignominiously at the hands of a random footsoldier. The great hand guiding these events would not have let harm come to them (yet).

From the teaser, I take it that someone already known to the Galactica crew is the fifth. (Zak Adama is still a remote possibility, too.) The tone of the person who utters the words, "You're the fifth." implies it.

 

[OrByte]

well whoever the last cylon is it doesnt matter because they have all already found earth, and unless it is in fact the gun ship then he/she had nothing to do with helping to find earth.

I think the last cylon is one of the babies...and when this baby grows older he or she will be the one to make it all happen again.

This has all happened before, and it will happen again.

just a thought...

In a dark tomorrow; Olmos talks about the last days of 'Galactica'

Q. I'm not sure there's ever been a show on TV that's so relentlessly dark. Is it bleak on the set?

A. It is. I mean, we really do take it to heart. It is bleak. And it is getting darker. This last season has gotten to the point where we end up crying a lot. Emotional breakdowns. It's human drama. And when you perform in it, you're inside of it. A lot of people are dead. I'm not going to say who, because why ruin it for people, but a lot of us die.

Q. This season?

A. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. [Laughs.] Not very many of us are going make it to wherever it is that they're taking us. So we just mope along. We open the script just like the viewer. We're all taking the journey. Not only is it difficult because you lose the person inside the story, but you also realize that person is no longer going to be on the set. It's over. Unless they're a Cylon.

I'm sure s4e11 is going to be spectacular. Apparently if the Writers strike ran on too long they would have shown it in this run of episodes as the final episode period. So it seams that the 5th is revealed, and some story arcs are closed. I kind of wonder if the "Revelations" would have been different if that were the case. If it writers strike ran too long would Earth have been this super happy place and it would just be a matter of tying up all the loose ends in s4e11?

 

[DanTMWTMP]

Are you friggin kidding me? We have to wait until 2009 for this to be over?!?!?!?!

 

[Mayfriday0529]

I know i'm a little late. I just finally saw the episode yesterday. Had all the episodes recorded and finally watched the last three episodes.
That was a big shocker about Earth. I was all happy like they were until that last minute of the show.

So the show is coming back until 2009?

you suck for bumping an old thread like this. I saw the title and thought I missed a BSG special or something
