April Fourth

This is some pretty hefty stuff right here. The latest Entertainment Weekly has an article about Battlestar Galactica. This picture, very Last Supper-y, is pretty interesting and telling (especially if you read the spoilers from RDM. Hmmm... very, very intriguing. It also says that the official air date for season four is April 4th.

I'm going to talk about the spoilers now.

Most interesting to me is the introduction of Natalie, a new version of Six. She "assumes a leadership position for a group of cylons with a separate agenda from the rest of them." I'm wondering if she's going to be heading a group of cylons that want to forget all differences and merge into the human race? I think whatever the agenda is, it's human friendly, given that she goes by a human name. Although I'm not sure how well this goes with my opinion that she's pointing at Helo and Sharon, who in turn look freaked out. RDM said he didn't want to say who these two were looking at, but whoever it was "was definitely reacting." Um, the only one reacting over there is Natalie. I'm pretty sure it has to be her. I don't know if she's pointing at them accusingly or if she's pointing at them to say "look, we should follow their example and overcome our differences." We'll see.

BOO on Lee not returning to flight status. Although if this means he's going to be a lawyer now, and if that means he'll get more monologues like he did at the end of season three, I don't know how sad I am about it. Anyway, I'm still a little upset about him not going back to being a pilot, but whatever. That doesn't necessarily mean he won't get to fly anymore... and anyway, you'd think that with the serious shortage of pilots they have in the fleet, they'd be able to get over his idealism and let him fight if it came to it. I'm just saying. And wait... wasn't he flying at the end of season three? He was the one that found Starbuck, right? I'm a little vague on the details from last season, it's been such a long time.

"The only one embracing Starbuck is Anders." Hmm. I guess everyone will think she is a cylon after all. Which just goes to show that she probably isn't one. Also, the final cylon isn't at the table... or at least I'm pretty sure that's what the last comment from RDM means: Someone is missing from the table because the last cylon has not been revealed. Although I suppose they could have put in another duplicate of one of the other people - there are two Tricia Helfers, after all. Still, it's way too obvious for Starbuck to be the last cylon. I will be so pissed if that's the case. (I think maybe I could handle it if it were done well and made sense, but I have no earthly idea how they could make that make any kind of sense. But whatever.)

Is it April 4th yet?
