1) The special effects looks better than ever.

2) Was it that clear who the last 4 cylons where?

Any comments?

Sure.

1) The special effects looks better than ever.

Indeed.

2) Was it that clear who the last 4 cylons where?

Umm... yes? There were 7 we already knew about, then the 4 were revealed rather dramatically at the end of the Season 3 cliffhanger. The one in doubt is the final one... which the Xena-bot saw and then died.

My biggest comments here are that... if Tyrell is a cylon, then isn't his and Callie's baby just as uber-stem-cell-riffic as Hilo and Sharon's? Food for thought, there. Plus, you'd think that now that they KNOW that they're Cylons, Sam would be less "lookit me Starbuck kicked my ass" than he is... so far I'm unimpressed with the four of them.

[DukeP]

Yeah, I thought that as well. But DO they know, like REALLY really know - that they are cylons? Wouldnt something like that be pretty hard to admit to one self?

I dont know.

I do think I know who the last one is, tho.

Today is the day!
We learn who the 5th final Cylon is in tonights first new episode in ages.
Sci-Fi channel is playing all of season '4.0' in a marathon today, followed by the new ep.
I got my chips and root beer all ready to go

I actually had not watched the show till the middle of season 3.
So over the last few weeks, I have gotten all of the DVDs of s1-s3 and watched em all (too much time on my hands, since I was laid off ).

One thought keeps popping in my head. What if the Starbuck that was originally on the Galactica was the final Cylon and that the human Starbuck was returned? Not founded in reality but the thought occurred to me.

Hm, I'm wondering atm if it's better to wait whole night in anticipation or...simply sleep through the worst hours

None of the Cylon 'skin jobs' were ever said to have a human original.
Starbuck does seem to be the obvious choice for the final Cylon. Too obvious.
The president? The Admiral? Again, too obvious.
My money is on Tom Zarek (the original 'Apollo' from the '70s series), or Felix Gaeta.

And what about this series is 'founded in reality'?

What bugs me, is that when the 4 were revealed at the end of s3, they all heard the same song in their head.
Why do they all hear a Bob Dylan song?
Seems to hint that the Cylons had been to Earth already at some point.

Or that Bob Dylan is from another planet

otoh...Daena said that there are only four in the fleet...

(btw, what timeslot todays episode occupies (in UTC preferably ) and will it be normal, "one hour" ep? Have to make decision about staying awake, you know )

I don't recall D'anna saying that...if it's not someone in the fleet, and not someone we already know is a Cylon, who would it be?

I KNOW!!!
I's Obama! And that explains why when they find earth, it's destroyed!

The new episode airs at 10pm eastern time.

Not long after beeing "brought back", I believe when discussing terms with Roslin; she said "there are four in your fleet".

That could theoretically mean the fifth was on the baseship at that time...and she hid that fact? Or in some completelly different place (?...)

[DukeP]

Spill the beans!

(Do we have a /spoiler tag?).

It will take ages before it reaches these shores.

[Kruzin]

Nothin to spill yet...still 5 hours away...

Just now watching this episode.
It wasn't D'Anna, it was a six, and she said all 5 are in the fleet

(from the BSG site: )

Soon, the Cylon leader, a Six named Natalie, meets face-to-face with Laura Roslin and William Adama. She tells them that the final five Cylons are hidden in the human fleet, and that the D'Annas — the Cylon model whose consciousness was boxed as punishment for illicit spiritual exploration — can identify them.

[Nowhere]

I can't watch it now...perhaps this wasn't the exact moment (I'm thinking about the episode showing the "journey" of damaged baseship towards the hub and the attack)

However I seem to remeber quite vividly such conversation:

Roslin: ...once you identify the five that are in our fle...
D'Anna: Four; there are four in your fleet.

PS. Just had a thought, what if the fifth is something totally wild, like a Centurion? (especially one among the collective that had their inhibitor removed (or the callective as w whole, depending on how they work))

[Kruzin]

D'Anna is still 'boxed' until they get to the hub.
One of the purposes of going to the hub is to 'unbox' her.
