Calla's Thirty-Sixth Post

Alright, well this sucks. Looks from my snooping around the internet desperately seeking information about the Final Cylon that it is Ellen Tigh. This is what finally convinced me there is no other possibility

"7) Her appearance in the fleet was quite suspicious, and we know from leaked info from "The Plan" that Cavil helped Ellen get off Caprica

I'm not saying Cavil knew Ellen was one of the final five, but it does seem interesting that they would go back and visit Ellen's escape from the attack, unless it was an important thing" (http://forums.scifi.com/index.php?showtopic=2320602)

The Plan is a made-for-TV movie that will come out after Battlestar Galactica ends. It is about the cylons and their whole nuking the 12 colonies thing. (I'm personally pretty stoked for it.) Nonetheless, if this is true, and I see no reason to believe otherwise, it makes sense that Ellen is the final cylon. All 12 cylons are supposed to be in The Plan (except maybe D'Anna for some reason or another. DUMB), and it's just too ironic that Cavil helps her escape. (Especially because he's so determined never to think about the final five!)

Well, I still haven't given up hope that it's NOT Ellen. Maybe they "leaked" this info. to appease us all so we wouldn't search far enough to find out who the REAL final cylon is. Maybe Ellen is really important to explain some of the other mumbo-jumbo that is going on in the Galactica Universe. ('cause there certainly is a lot of mumbo-jumbo.) She is going to be in a strip club in The Plan supposedly. Additionally, supposedly there are like flash-back typa things with Ellen and a Six in a strip club sometime during 4.5. I HOPE this has some significance other than Ellen being the final cylon and that this is why there is such a big deal made about her.

However, this seems doubtful. All the spoiler sites have her as one of the options. . . and I am upset. I will know for sure on Friday whether I must start the angry letter writing campaign. But MAN what a missed opportunity having it NOT be Kendra Shaw. (I have resolved myself by now that it is not, unless the chick goes uncredited in everything Galactica related besides Razor.) The disappointing part of this is the whole "crawling towards the light seeking redemption bit" the hybrid in Razor said. (He's gonna be a main character in Caprica!! Not the hybrid, the man he once was! PSYCHED!) I don't remember if this seeking redemption thing was in a deleted scene or not though. . . ANYway, it also woulda been great to introduce her in the movie, have everyone think she was gone, and then bring her back. Additionally, she is not in the fleet, nor is she in the last supper picture. It just seems like such a good opportunity! They got us so attached to her, and for what? (Nothing.) PLUS: SHE'S HOT!!! (hehe.)

So, Ellen, that's just TOO MUCH irony. It was already ironic that Saul killed his wife (or appears to have killed her; who knows at this point?) for collaborating with the cylons, and then turned out himself to be a cylon. We don't need his wife to have turned out to be a cylon as well!! STUPID. Also, from what does SHE need redemption? Sleeping around too much? No, DUMB. I dunno man. I'm just sad. This is just sad. They better do the head Caprica/ head Baltar bit amazingly well or I will cry.

Everyone says there's no way to do the final cylon well 'cause it's just been built up too much. . . UH YEAH THERE IS: Kendra. Alas, it shall never come to pass.

That is all for now. :( I will let you know for most certain on Friday. I will let you know if they manage to pull it off spectacularly somehow with it being Ellen.
