Anal Battlestar Galactica

Okay, so this is going to be packed full of spoilers for those who haven’t finished Season 3 of Battlestar Galactica and has some stuff from what’s been out in Season 4, so far, even though I haven’t seen any of the episodes.

That said, I started watching Season 2.0 again last night and there’s a scene in the episode where Chip 6 shows Baltar some of the massacre that took place on Kobol before the exodus. He protests that the gods and humanity lived side by side in harmony on Kobol. The Chip 6 tells him that everything that’s happened before will happen again.

And here I started thinking: 12 Cylon models, 12 Lords of Kobol. Could it be that the Lords of Kobol were Cylons? The Cylons can download their memories and share them with others. If one dies his or her replacement will be along shortly wearing the same face. How does that not appear to be a god to a human?

I’m sure I’m not the first one to notice this or even think too much about it, but since I didn’t want to actually work today, I used the Battlestar Wiki and Wikipedia to compare the 13 Colonies with their zodiac counterparts and the 11 Cylons that we know and the 10 named Lords of Kobol, along with the one who’s not named and is the Cylon God, on a neat little table. I also did one list that lines up the Cylon numbers with the traditional order of western zodiac to see how well that might line up.

Colonies	Astrological Partners	Symbol	My Cylon Pick	Cylon by Number	Comparison God
Aerelon	Aries	Ram	Saul Tigh ?	Brother Cavil Ones	Zeus
Tauron	Taurus	Bull	Brother Cavil Ones	Leoben Conoy Twos
Gemenon	Gemini	Twins	Boomer/Athena Eights	D'Anna Threes	Aurora
Canceron	Cancer	Crab	Galen Tyrol ? (12, according to actor blog.)	Simon Fours	Apollo
Leonis	Leo	Lion	Samuel Anders ?	Aaron Doral Fives	Ares
Virgon	Virgo	Virgin	Tory Foster ?	Natalie Sixes	Artemis
Libris	Libra	Scales	Aaron Doral Fives	?	Asclepius
Scorpia	Scorpio	Scorpion	Natalie Sixes	Boomer/Athena Eights	Aphrodite
Sagittaron	Sagittarius	Archer	?	?	Athena
Caprica	Capricorn	Sea-Goat	Simon Fours	?	Poseidon
Aquaria	Aquarius	Water Carrier	Leoben Conoy Twos	?	?
Picon	Pisces	Two Fishes	D'Anna Threes	Galen Tyrol 12, according to actor blog.	Hera
Earth	**Gaia or Terra**	N/A	N/A	N/A	Cylon God

And so, in the end, I have Athena, the Lord of Kobol who killed herself left without any Cylon to match up.

I also matched Athena up with Sagittaron/Sagittarius. According to my minimal research into the zodiac Sagittarians: "Keyword: "I perceive". Freedom loving, straightforward, extrovert, philosophical, intellectual, fun-loving, arrogant, adventurous, expansive, optimistic. Can be blundering, scattered, careless, jealous, too-serious, tactless."

Huh, sounds to me like Starbuck fits that description almost perfectly. Could she be the final Cylon?

Ron Moore said that final Cylon was not in the "Last Supper" photo, but that could be misinformation. If not, then who could it be?

If I’m right with the gods=Cylons thing, then it’s a woman. But who?
Could Ellen Tigh have been a Cylon? She fits the Sagittarius list as well as Starbuck did. Will she turn up on Earth upset, even though Tigh killed her? After all, didn’t the Three who saw the final five say that the last Cylon model wasn’t in the Colonial Fleet?
