Battlestar Galactica anyone?

Enemies brought together by impossible longing. Enemies now joined as one. The way forward at once unthinkable, yet inevitable. And the fifth, still in shadow, will claw toward the light, hungering for redemption that will only come in the howl of terrible suffering. I can see them all. The seven, now six, self-described machines who believe themselves without sin. But in time, it is sin that will consume them. They will know enmity, bitterness, the wrenching agony of one splintering into many. And then, they will join the promised land, gathered on the wings of an angel. Not an end, but a beginning.” – Hybrid, Razor.

The more I watch the show, I can’t help but see the similarities to the story and the 2nd and 3rd Matrix films. Ellen, the mother, the Oracle, figured out the missing component for life. An Architect? Or maybe someone that was created in his image…

- Daniel, the 7th Cylon, is Gaius Baltar.

- The final 4 cylons (not ellen) were at one point Hybrids. They existed in a perfect, sub-concious state, whcih is how they are able to preceive the future as easily as the past. Part of that knowledge was released when Anders developed a blod clot in his brain.

- This would be a fun twist: What if the colonies where the final 5 originated was the realm of the original Battlestar Galactica from the 1970s?. They are both made up worlds, so maybe Ellen and her group of 4 were the link between those worlds? I first thought this when I saw the intro for the latest show. It started by saying “40 years ago”, then showed an image of the Cylons from the original Battlestar show. If ‘everything has happened before’, what if that was the preceding version?

No way Daniel is Gaius. Gotta be Kara or someone totally different. Best episode this season– in my opinion.

But where did Kara’s brand spanking new Viper come from?
