	*Just curious. Have you checked out the comic book miniseries? --- [[User:Troyian\|Troyian]] 22:51, 9 July 2009 (UTC)		*Just curious. Have you checked out the comic book miniseries? --- [[User:Troyian\|Troyian]] 22:51, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

			Yes. I know it's supposed to be some form of canon, but a lot of it doesn't fit. Sam being a drifter killed for experimentation doesn't feel right, he was supposed to have been a major rock star, author of All Along the Watchtower, and an essential part of the team (Ellen said it needed all 5 to recover the resurrection plan.) Ditto Saul having almost no involvement in the tech. In the show they were a team with deep feelings and emotions.

			I was glad to see some suggestion that centurion memories got into the human Cylons, at least Cavil. it's not clear if they made it into anybody else, though. Does Cavil remember being Zoe or Tamara?

			The small number of generations shown also doesn't make sense. They built all of Earth-1 in just a generation? Perhaps with metal robot labour. We were told they had lost resurrection and switched to sexual reproduction, but that was just once?

			Pythia as Starbuck? I didn't like Starbuck's fate so I don't like this either. And if the angel always shows up as Helfer in a red dress, where did they get the DNA for six from?--[[User:Bradtem\|bradtem]] 23:04, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

	With Jane Espenson's latest comments that imply there is no real Earth (ie. that as far as she is concerned Kobol is the human homeworld in this universe) it seems the writers are not going in that direction, and I guessed wrong. So I may never do that unless we get some alternate clues that say she's lying. Right now it looks like the show takes place not in the future and not in the past, but in another reality. Now, some of the ideas might turn out to be true as to why there were AI wars on Kobol and Cylon Earth, but I don't even know if the show is going to explain that at all. The Kobol story is going to be left to other media like comics, it sounds like.--[[User:Bradtem\|bradtem]] 01:05, 18 February 2009 (UTC)		With Jane Espenson's latest comments that imply there is no real Earth (ie. that as far as she is concerned Kobol is the human homeworld in this universe) it seems the writers are not going in that direction, and I guessed wrong.

	Hi, Brad. Just wanted to say "well done" to the sourced insight on the term "apocalypse" in the [[The Destiny]]. Believing it a significant find, I expounded on it with several examples, noting that [[oracle]]s appear to be willing heralds to both sides, whereas [[Hybrid]]s are opposite. Take a look when you have a moment and adjust as you see fit. --[[User:Spencerian\|Spencerian]] 10:33, 1 December 2007 (CST)		Hi, Brad.

	* Thanks. I wrote a bunch more (with speculation) at [http://ideas.4brad.com/cylon-god-and-his-prophecy this blog post] but I think right now the role of Hybrids and Oracles in prophecy is mostly speculation. In particular, I think the first hybrid is on no side (being both man and machine) and is in fact an incarnation of the Cylon god. But we'll see. What is factual is the ambiguous (or commonly misinterpreted) meanings of apocalypse, harbinger and "its end." I do think that the title of an upcoming episode being "revelations" is important. --[[User:Bradtem\|Bradtem]] 14:26, 1 December 2007 (CST)		* Thanks.
