An EXTREMELY Detailed Analysis of Who Might Be the Last Cylon

Gnorb — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 21:53:02

Frankly, I've not seen this level of TV nerddom in ages. I bow to this person's encyclopedic knowledge of the new Battlestar Galactica.

From the article:

[T]he final member of the twelve Humanoid Cylons “would probably need to be a more prominent character than those of the Four.” . . . [T]hat pretty much limits the field to Roslin, Admiral Adama, Lee, Baltar, and Starbuck. Of course, I also happen to think that revealing some of the above as being Cylons would also be…anticlimactic, and in some cases just dumb.

So, who's the last cylon?

They all live off the fat of the land."
