Fifth Cylon

Starbuck = Fifth Cylon who rezed on Earth.

Good call. Unless she was a hallucination a la Chip Six and Chip Baltar (or Scorpy/Harvey from Farscape). Show creator Moore says Katee Sackhoff will be back among the main cast next season, though.

We're definitely supposed to assume Starbuck is the fifth Cylon. I don't know--based on the fact that they're making us wait so long, I'm feeling like everyone really must be a Cylon. It would be MASSIVELY GHEY if they came back in like a YEAR and said, "Oh, just kidding!" But it's like I was saying to my geek boss today--Adama has known Tigh for decades, right? How the hell could the Cylons have developed the skinjobs so quickly after the schism?

I don't know. Maybe. Maybe not. It was a great scene though, and made up for the fanfiction lameitude of everyone singing "All Along the Watchtower" beforehand. (Sorry, but it was lame.)

Using Dylan/Hendrix makes me wonder about their connection to Earth. And the timeline in context with the real Earth, too, for that matter.

They must be some sort of other race of Cylon. A race that didn't interact much/at all with the other skinjobs and toasters. Not even D'Anna realized it until they revealed themselves to her (I guess she apologized to Tigh).

Also:
Tyrol has a son! That makes for a second half-breed.

Ron Moore: "They're Cylons."

[elemess]

Yup. And he's not tipping his hand about Starbuck.
