Here is a link to an interview that is well worth the read. http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2009/01/final-fifth-cylon-ellen-tigh-battlestar-galactica-dualla-dee-.html
Firstly, it makes clear that "the blaze" happened the same time earth was nuked. So clearly, this was the same war. I'm not sure if the centurions rebelled or the humans found the cylons before settling on the twelve colonies or what. But both of these nuclear explosions were from the same war. . So why has Kobol reginerated itself so fully and earth is still a wasteland? The blaze may not actually be a nuclear holocaust, but massive fires or something. That would be the simplist explanation. However, there might be a supernatural answer instead.
Secondly, the interview sparked my thinking more deeply about Cavil's connection with the final five. Clearly this model, or at least some of the individuals in that model, knows who they are. He has been messing with them this whole time! Brother Cavil talked to chief trying to convince him he wasn't a cylon. On New Caprica, he slept with Ellen and tore out Saul's eye (potentially. I don't remember for sure if he mentions who did it, but Cavil is the one who talks about changing his calendar markings and is the one who lets him out finally. He probably was the one torturing Saul.) On Caprica, Cavil was in the resistance of which Anders was the leader. The only missing piece is Tory. Tory seems so random though! I mean, she was a part of the New Caprica resistance. She was actually in charge of getting Hera safely off the planet (which she failed to do.) But she hasn't been a major character. I think they needed a hot young woman to sleep with Baltar who was also high up in the Presidential administration in order to complicate things there. . . which Tory fits. But I wish she had some connection to Cavil. It would just make it so much more perfect! I hope it'll turn out that way in The Plan.
The stuff about D. is depressing.
Finally, what I learned from this interview is super exciting! Read Chief's original flashback before they had to cut it all for the budget's sake. . . BOOMER. Boomer will come back. I am sure of it. And I am sure they will be together, at least briefly. It makes me so excited.
On a related note, the Caprica series is shaping up to be super confusing. What I have gathered from reading the beginning of the pilot script and watching one scene which has been filmed and edited is that basically everyone has the capacity to act as humanoid cylons. They have virtual reality clubs. You conciousness is downloaded into a virtual copy of your body and you can do whatever. Meanwhile, you body is sitting there vacant, like the bodies of the cylon models. When you die, you consciousness is re-instated into your physical body. Sound a wee bit like resurection to anyone else? Additionally, you are able to make copies of your body and consciousness in the virtual reality world. They then become independent entities. . . which freaks the hell out of me, because what happens to them when they die! AHHH. Scary as hell. It's like virtual reality cylons in that people think they are not humans, yet they have the same consciousness and abilites as humans. But basically, it brings more of the what makes a person a person theme that galactica started. EVERYTHING'S INSANE.
UM, finally I would just like to tell you that the one day when Tabby did the frogface thing, it made me laugh like the ghostband does! I kid you not. It was unexpected and thus hilarious!! But, for some reason I didn't write that the day I wrote about it. I dunno why.
Love,
Calla and her kitties who are asking for food!!
I guess we shoulda bought TWO beds!
