BlackGeekdom Science-Fiction from a Different Perspective

In a previous post, I said that Dualla was the 5th cylon.  I was wrong.  It has since been revealed that Ellen Tigh is the final cylon.  Point of fact, she was not even on my list of possible cylons.  I mean, how was I supposed to know that she would die and be resurrected?  Does it all make sense?  I don’t know.  She collaborated with the cylons on New Caprica.  Twice Saul has thought that she was dead.  However, I still hold out hope that there is something to Dualla.  I know she killed herself in “Sometimes a Good Notion” but that doesn’t mean she’s going to stay dead.  She was humming the song and she also seemed to have a connection to the doll that she found on Earth.  But back to Ellen.  Anyone who says that they saw it coming is lying.  But I will say that the whole story, or at least the part that has been revealed so far, by Anders is quite intriguing.  It raises many questions.  Who created the cylons that lived on Earth?  How did they come to leave Kobol and separate themselves from the other Tribes?  Were the skinjobs and the centurions created by the same person or people?

Next, I wanted to talk about the whole issue of Daniel, the seventh cylon.  Ellen Tigh talked about Daniel with John.  John corrupted Daniel and his whole line out of jealousy.  I think Daniel is Starbucks father.  I think Starbuck is a hybrid like  Hera.  At first I thought Starbuck was Daniel.  That somehow the corrupted  Daniels had survived and maybe the DNA corruption done by John  actually caused the Daniel line to change into a female, but that seems farfetched.  After watching “Someone to Watch Over Me” and seeing that Starbuck had “imagined” the piano player, it occurred to me that that could only be her father. 

Now, lets say that Daniel did not die when John destroyed or corrupted the line.  What if his programming survived John’s machinations and somehow  bouncing around everyone’s head.  I think he’s the Deus Ex Machina.  He’s in Baltar’s head.  He was giving Caprica Six and Roslin visions.  He played the song in the final five cylon’s head.  Think about it.  He has undone everything that John Cavil has tried to accomplish as it relates to the final five.  Who’s behind putting the song in the final five’s head?  It had to be Daniel.   Is it a coincidence that the visions stopped when Caprica Six got pregnant?  Could that have been Daniel trying to be reborn?  And visions return when the baby dies?  Who else could have been pushing Kara to help them find Earth?    When Kara was a child, in a flashback her father said that he too was an artist.  Ellen said that Daniel was an artist.  And now we know that he was also a musician.  It adds up to me.

Finally, I have a rant about that simp Tyrol.  Roslin told him not to listen to Boomer.  That she was basically a manipulative bitch.  And what happened?  She played on his feelings for her and she got Hera for Cavil, punked Helo, and beat Athena’s ass.  But is it really that possible that Tyrol could be so stupid.
