The writer strike is over - "BattleStar Galactica"

After a very long hiatus, (We we holding out for more money) and to coincide with the Hollywood Writer's strike being over, Big T and I have decided to dust off the keyboard, and gather our random thoughts again on this blog. We've missed imparting our in depth analysis of our favorite TV shows and what better show to break the silence by blogging about "BattleStar Galactica!"
This being the last season of the series - I am sure most of not all of the story arcs will come to some sort of conclusion. Who is the 5th Cylon? Do we care? Why now with the other 4 cylons? If Saul Tigh is a Cylon - why did he lose his eye? Is Kara a Cylon? That would be too easy if she was so we think her miraculous return is nothing more than a red herring.
So Tony and I were talking this morning about the season premier and we both tapped into our vast database of trivial movie story lines and compared this season with the Matrix Trilogy. We are going to predict a similar ending with the Cylons and humans living in harmony on Earth to the final scene with the Architect and the Oracle talking about the rest of the humans plugged in. There are too many subtle hints to previous movie plot lines - "this has all happened before and will happen again" is probably the most revealing.
Think about the Terminator Franchise and traveling back and forth in time to reshape the future. Or the many versions of Neo talking to the Architect - what we think is going to happen is these Cylons were "awakened" to help find earth so the new Cylons and return back to the source. These skin jobs - the 12 - are the gods these humans have being praying to - they just don't realize it. I think the humans are the offspring of skin job Cylons and Earth is where it all started. These humans attacking the Cylons are the ones that have been either effected or have lost their way. If you have a change watch Serenity again and pay close attention to the Reavers. The Reavers were fine until the Alliance tried to calm the population down.
