    Head Six\ Balthar Six
    Yeah I'm curious about that too but I doubt they could give an interesting explanation so perhaps it's better to leave it open.

    Starbuck
    I couldn't care less about her. In fact if she didn't appear in the final episode I'd be delighted :pac:.

    Daniel
    Meh, not bothered about him either.

    The Song
    Nonplussed here too.

    The Nebula
    The Temple of Five
    Wasn't that already explained as having been built by the Final Five on their journey from Earth or something :confused:.

    Why Laura Roslin and Caprica Six have been sharing dreams

    Yeah, a bit curious about that too.

    Why the cylons cant reproduce
    Isn't that 'cos they're machines :P.

    I'm not really expecting much by way of answers and there's a high risk that any we get will be unsatisfactory.
    Way back in the miniseries Six met someone in Caprica City before the attack and she complained they were late. I don't think they ever established who that was.
    It would be kind of cool if it was Tigh or Adama :pac:.

    If there are answers in the finale I'd prefer if they linked back to earlier in the series i.e. S1 and S2. The flashbacks in Daybreak Part 1 is slightly getting my hopes up but not too much.

    The Cylon God is the one thing I really hope we find out.

    Daniel has already been explained as just a reason at to why there was no number 7 cylon skin job. I thought they will elaberate much more on that. However the Daniel model might be explored a bit more in the upcoming Caprica prequel series.

    Roslin had a blood transfusion from Hera which probably explains the visions she had. Hera's mother Sharon had similar visions of the Opera house too afaik. The only explanation is that 3 have in common is cylon blood and the ability of the skinjobs to project images betwen each other as shown by Boomer and the Chief about 2 episodes. Hera probably projected the image of the Opera House to Roslin, Caprica Six and Sharon. This will probably tie in with how Hera fits into the whole plot would be my guess.

    My overall theory is though that we are not going to get all the answers to everything. As I said there is the Caprica series coming up along with the BSG movie "The Plan", it would make sense for some of the answers to be addressed in them otherwise full closure next week would make these meaningless imo.

    On the vision of the Opera House, i'm thinking that maybe its foreshadowing the finale:
    Baltar and Six will rescue Hera from the colony?

    Baltar's visions of Six, and at one point another version of himself need to be explained. That's too big of a thing to just leave it open to viewer interpretation. It was such a huge part of the story in S1&2.
    Another example of how they inroduce something really interesting you believe over time will be answered but in truth won't be, was when a version of 6 appeared on Galactica and Gaius thought it was one of his visions when she was in fact real to everyone. She disappeared around a corner and nothing else was ever said.

    The head characters were explained by Anders. They appear to those that are key to the survival for the next cycle to begin.

    Baltar is supposed to go with Six and rescue Hera and the new cycle will begin from there - but if he doesn't what happens?

    4x15 No Exit - When Anders was in sick bay just before the surgery to have the bullet taken out of his head.

    "Back on Earth, the warning signs were different. I saw a woman. Tori, you saw a man. No one else could see them. Gallen you thought ..."

    Hmm interesting. I hope they reference it again just to clarify it. I don't want that to be the explanation entirely. Its like saying ...." Why is Baltar seeing people in his head?" answer " Because he just is."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,132 ✭✭✭silvine


    Balthar and Six. He's been having visions or what not since episode one so I want an explanation!

    Fact. Anders did not officialy answer it. Baltar is not a Cylon and the cylons had this vision thingymebob added to their 'circuitry' (for lack of a better word) so how is he seeing visions - is he going to be Daniel? Hardly if Cavil had them all boxed, why wouldn't he box the guy they needed to start the war on the colonies.

    Gone off in a tangent, Cylon projection couldn't apply either because Baltar's head 6 knew what was going on all the time and what was going to happen.

    How does a character or show 'officially answer' anything??

    When he woke up in sick bay Anders said he remembered everything and that the cycle was starting again.

    As a viewer of the show you've been privvy to information that the characters are not - i.e. that Baltar and Caprica have been seeing head characters since the beginning of the series. In 4x15 we learned that in the previous iteration of the cycle - Anders and Tori were the ones seeing the head characters - a revelation that it appears people didn't pick up on. At the time Anders and Tori were key to the survival of the skinjob Cylon race.

    It was a different experience for Anders in the current cycle because he wasn't aware that the head characters have been in play the whole time. Back on Earth, Anders and Tori obviously shared the information with the other members of the final five, but in this case, Baltar and Caprica weren't exactly blagging "I see head people!". The two characters haven't even acknowledged it to each other.

    Forget about the projecting business - that isn't the same thing and there is no circuitry required. Adama was projecting a life with his ex-wife on his wedding anniversary but he isn't a cylon.

    Edit: In one of the earlier seasons Head Caprica told Baltar that she was an Angel. Thinking about it there is a parallel between what happened on Earth in BSG and the biblical story of the destruction of Sodom and Gamorrah. God decided that the two cities were to be destroyed by fire and brimstone but before the deed was done, two angels were sent to tell a guy called Lot to take his family and clear the area. The head characters appeared to Anders and Tori and told them similar - that's why they rediscovered the resurrection technology and headed for the colonies.
