BSG (I Can’t Let Go)!

March 28, 2007

What is my fracking problem!  I can’t stop thinking about the season finale of BSG and it seems neither can other hardcore fans. Sorry, if you’re not into this show, but…well, I can’t help you if you’re not.

What I’ve been thinking about is whether Tigh, Tyrol, Tory, and Anders (“TTTA”) are really cylons.  Sure Tyrol basically said that they were, but they aren’t sure what the hell is going on right now, and neither are we.  So, all I have is speculation…

Speculation #1:  Now that Starbuck is back from the “space between life and death” and seems to have found Earth (and will lead the fleet there), it’s possible she’s a cylon, or she’s like Gaius and is a key player in “God’s plan” (to use cylon theology). 

Speculation #2:  The music that “TTTA” hear at random times is, of course, Bob Dylan’s “All Along The Watchtower.”  It’s a song from Earth that they started hearing as they got close the nebula — a key point in their journey.  Now, since Starbuck said that she’s been to Earth and will lead the fleet there, I think that the music “TTTA” are hearing is a beacon of sorts.

Speculation #3: That would be your thoughts on where this show is going.

    I’ve never heard the word bastages before, but I like it!

    At first, I was with Laluna, wondered how they came to the conclusion that they were Cylons so darned quickly. But then I decided to go with the flow, and if they are so strongly convinced, so quickly, that they are, then they probably are.

    Yeah, the song is probably some kind of beacon…but how freaky is that? I mean, WHY? What time period is Earth in? Is it the Hendrix version that they’re being called to? What then?

    I wonder if anyone else can see/hear Starbuck…or if since she’s between worlds, she might be in Lee’s head…like 6 and Gaius…

    Gaius as a Jesus figure. JUST what his frakin ego needs, huh?

    It is a long time to make you guys wait! I was like that with Rome (on HBO). They started te series in 2005 and didn’t release the second season until 2007.

    I think that those 4 that heard the song will play a key role in leading the way to earth. As far as Starbuck, well, I wonder if she went to Star Buck’s while visiting Earth and had a grand time ordering a Grande Coffee with non fat milk and sweet and low stir not blended and of course a shower, cause she looked really clean when she was in her fighter jet.

    I watched the episode AGAIN this morning, trying to figure out if there were any other clues in there that I had missed. The way they worked the song in was so cool — how it was unrecognizable all that time they were hearing it in the walls, then it gradually became clearer, with the TTTA quoting the lyrics in their dialogue. I LOVED that we saw Starbuck at the end. But I hate that we have to wait nearly a year for more!
