Speculation

[icepixie]

These get progressively crazier as they go on.

- Daniel is Kara's father. (This isn't so much speculation as all-but-confirmed information as of the latest episode.)

- Cavil & Co. show up and there's a big space battle. (All but assured given the way they've been saving on SFX this past half-season.)

- Helo got Boomer pregnant when she tricked him into having sex with her.

- Daniel has something to do with the Opera House vision--notice that the tape Kara has is titled "Dreilide Thrace: Live at the Helice Opera House."

- Laura Roslin is NOT DEAD ARGH ARGH. Kara will give her hybrid blood and all will be well. They will have a joint vision of the Opera House and Daniel/Dreilide will make an appearance of some kind.

- Galactica herself is the dying leader who won't see the promised land. She's toast after this episode or the next. No way is she jumping again. (BTW, anyone else notice the new cracks in the word "Galactica" in the credits since the Chief discovered the hull breach? So cool.)

- Bill Adama is going to die any day now from this mysterious condition for which he pops pills, but I think he'll see the promised land first.

- There is still a promised land somewhere. The Lords of Kobol might have to get involved to help them find it.

- Hera's pattern of notes is also a starmap of some kind. I don't know where it's going to lead, but it'll lead somewhere interesting. (Olympus? The real Earth?)

- The piano player in the latest episode is another being like Head!Six and Head!Baltar. These beings are the "angels" Anders was rambling about before he went into his coma. Those who can see them are bound together in some manner. (OMG, is Kara the child Head!Six and Baltar were supposedly having way back in S1? Or even weirder--Kara is the baby that Ellen and Saul Tigh tried to have--Daniel stole her away and raised her on Caprica!)

- Some kind of encounter with the Lords of Kobol will allow all Cylons and all humans to interbreed easily. Centuries later, there are no pure humans or pure Cylons left. Resurrection doesn't work on the new hybrids...until someone who looks remarkably like Ellen Tigh develops new technology that will allow a person to download him/herself into a new body. Fade to black.

- The cycle of war and death somehow manages to stop with this generation. (This, I think is the craziest prediction of all...)

I am THOROUGHLY UNSPOILED for the final four and wish to remain that way. But please give me your thoughts on my cracked out speculations!

Oh, the "Deadlock" thing was just phenomenally idiotic. The Helo/Athena bit was long enough ago that I'd forgotten it, assuming I hadn't blocked it out in the first place, in a fit of "You did NOT just say something that stupid, did you?"

Let me know what you come up with if you run with that theory. I guess I was sort of figuring that the Cylons would have to be in the God position, except for the part where, if we're interpreting that image strictly, it falls apart at Athena. Yeah, that's why I said it wasn't well-developed...

Me too. I'm hoping it goes out in a blaze of glorious storytelling, though.

Me too, and I honestly suspect that it will. Just based on the mutiny episodes, we know they've still got it. I think we tend to forget that a bad episode of BSG is better than a good episode of almost anything else, so I have faith. :)

Why does it fall apart at Athena? I was also thinking the Cylons would have to be God, and it works with her--she can't reproduce without Helo. (Or do you mean she's the only Cylon who's reproduced, period, so the sample size is too small?)

Hee. And I have been really, really into BSG since this last episode. I keep thinking about it, wondering what the last four episodes will bring, really wanting it to be Saturday...

Why does it fall apart at Athena?

Because I'm taking it WAY more literally than you are. If the Cylon has to use the human womb as a vessel, the way that it works in that whole nativity story thang, it falls apart at Athena, 'cause she's obviously not human, and Helo's not a Cylon. I haven't come up with any other way to figure out who "god" is in that scenario, see? Toldja it wasn't a well-developed theory ;)

Is it really four episodes now, or is it three? Dammit, I will be in Florida for one of them, which will make watching difficult and being spoiled unbelievably easy...

Ah, I see. I was definitely more loose in my interpretation.

It's four episodes, but three weeks--the next two Fridays are one episode each, and March 20th is the two-hour finale. (Actually, I guess it's technically parts 2 and 3 of the finale, but whatever.) I'll be home for spring break on the 20th, so I can watch it as it airs instead of waiting until the next day! And yeah, spoilers will be hard to avoid--I'll be lj-cutting, and I'm sure most people will, but even just the number of entries people make can be a spoiler as to the impact of the episode, you know? I'd turn off the intertubes until you can watch, if it were me. :D

OH NO THAT'S EVEN WORSE!!! I'll be at my parents' in Florida and will have a hard enough time getting one hour to watch, much less two! Aaaaaaauuuuuugggggghhhhhhh!!! Lords of Kobol Scheduling, why do you hate me so???

[icepixie]

You could stay up late and watch the second showing? (Or do you not have reliable access to a TV?)

[alto2.livejournal.com]

I could stay up, but my clock resets around Mom and Dad since they don't usually stay up as late as I do, so I'd probably sleep through half of it. TV is also a problem--there's a TV in the bedroom, but when I was there in December, it only got network stations. And if I try to watch in the family room, my parents will get pissed because they won't be able to sleep (this is a house in Florida, remember, which means lots of glass and tile. The place is a sound chamber. It's very, very difficult to get a glass of water quietly in the middle of the night; watching TV could be impossible).

Best I can probably hope for is to get Dad to record it on the DVR after we all go to sleep, but still... sigh.

[icepixie]

Are you bringing your laptop and will you have internet access? It'd be a day late, but there're always downloads...

[alto2.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the only other option. Definitely yes to both questions, though if it's a 2-hour finale, that's gonna be one mighty big file. Still, in theory, it can be done. And I'm already on the day-late schedule, just like you. Beats being three weeks late, for sure!

Doesn't make me any happier with the gods of scheduling, though!
