Battlestar Galactica 4x12: "Revelations"

So... let's see. D'Anna came back to life and is the new cylon leader. The four cylons were outed, Tory went to be with the other cylons, Chief doesn't really care what happens to him, Tigh is loyal to the end and Anders is like a lost puppy and needs to come live in my closet. Roslin tells Lee that he'll have to be president after she's dead, and somehow they magically get to Earth in one jump after Starbuck's magical viper woke up and told them where it was. And they get here and nobody's around because we all killed each other with nuclear bombs. Or something.

Good thing the writer's strike ended because if it hadn't that would have been the series finale, with maybe a few minor edits (like telling us who the final cylon is). Which would have been extremely disappointing.

I don't know what's going to happen but here's my theory. It goes with the "all of this has happened before, all of this will happen again" motif. I think that the final five cylons are the cylon models that evolved from the cylons the people on Earth made. And they had a war with the humans just like the ones from the Colonies did, and they blew each other up. Towards the end of the war, maybe as a very last resort, the cylons, who in a reversal of roles are the ones who believe in the pantheon of gods from the colonies (because on Earth we believe in the one true God - you know how it is), sent off one of each of their models to try and find the Colonies. These models obviously succeeded, but their programming got messed up somehow and they forgot who they were. And the last cylon is someone who we've seen but has died. Possibilities my sister and I came up with: Elosha the priest, Admiral Cain, or that other girl from Razor, what's her face. Priest Lady has Roslin's head vision going for her, but I think the chances are decent that Admiral Cain is the last one. It wouldn't be any more surprising than Tigh being one. Although I guess we technically saw her as a teenager in Razor (extended version has those scenes), but Tigh even said in this last episode, "how do you know cylons don't age?" So it's possible.

I'll be honest - my caring what happens on this show is really waning, so it's a good thing there's only half a season left for me to be bothered with. It's similar to what happened with Grey's Anatomy (only not nearly as bad) - nobody is ever allowed to be happy and everything is just so downer all the time. Which makes sense because the human race almost got exterminated and stuff, and they were wandering around aimlessly through space trying to find Earth, but still. It really takes a toll on me to watch a show like this. It's well written and well acted and all around really well made, but it just makes me weary. Oh, and the fact that they never tell us anything. This last season moved along at a snail's pace. The rest of it probably won't be like that. They're on Earth now - supposedly - so things will get interesting. I hope.
