Zak Adama?

Latest comment: 15 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

It's possible that Zak Adama is the final Cylon. The main reason I say this is because of Leoben's line in Flesh and Bone: "Adama is a Cylon." I don't think that it's William Adama, Apollo, or by extension Dualla. Is this viable enough for inclusion in the article? --JemHadar359 05:25, 23 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

In this article on SyFy Portal[1], Michael Hinman claims that they have received confirmation of the identity of the final Cylon from multiple sources, and claims that the final Cylon is one of five characters listed in the article. Zak Adama is not on the list. -- Gordon Ecker 07:43, 23 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

As I said before—and forgive me for soundin' like a broken record—but this article will be dead in its present (and the ColdBoot form) before the season ends anyway. ;-) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 20:24, 23 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Just a feeling. . .

that the final cylon will be someone that there's been no speculation about. Someone right out of left field. Personally, I'd like to think it's. . . Romo Lampkin. Centurion 51773 16:29, 14 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

What about Number Seven?

Latest comment: 15 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

Do we have any information about the existence or nonexistence of Number Seven? In many interviews and articles, it has been stated that the Final Five don't have model numbers, so it couldn't be any of them. Has the issue of Number Seven been addressed in any interviews? -- Gordon Ecker 03:06, 15 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Not yet you don't. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 19:32, 15 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Since the Final Five are actually older, Seven must have been a failed model. -- Noneofyourbusiness 15:08, 20 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Archiving rather than deleting

I can't say I'll miss all the fanwanking we did on this page and its sisters, but I think it'll be a hoot to leave these pages as of Ellen Tigh's reveal, locked with a note about the relative history of how contributors jerked themselves around trying to formulate a logic for the last Cylons. The main articles would be protected as well as the talk pages for people to smile and laugh at (especially the producers and writers who probably made sure we were wrong! ;) Thoughts? --Spencerian 03:26, 20 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Sure, archive it. Though I will point out that if you read the Humanoid Cylon speculation/ColdBoot replacement that I started for it 6 months ago, it would in fact have led the reader to probably pick Ellen. Not sure why my efforts to get it live never amounted to anyting, but "nyah, nyah, I told you so..." :-) So archive that too. --bradtem 09:07, 20 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'd say you'd get dibs on that prediction, Brad. :) --Spencerian 03:27, 22 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

-This article combines the speculations of the Humano-Cylon and Gaius Baltar articles. As such, it is very wordy. I added the conditional summaries to avoid having to say "Ron Moore said this-and-that" in each item. Still, the article is really all over the place. We need to pare each suspect to the basics--bullets if necessary. Please base your information only on what has been mentioned or clearly stated. Lack of evidence ("Nothing says that the Cylons couldn't have been introduced 5 years before the attacks") is invalid to the information actually stated for both Valerii's and Six character--their history is unclear 2 years prior. Concision should clear up the unnecessary editorial here and bring it to basics. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 00:46, 1 February 2006 (EST)

-No Cylon ever said out loud, "we've been infiltrating your society for two years"; we saw that Number Six was going out with baltar for 2 years, and then that Galactica-Boomer had been on Galactica for 2 years, then made the connection.  However, although ''wide-scale'' infiltration apparently occured 2 years ago, we have no way of knowing if this is when infiltration of any kind actually began.  Case in point; Ellen Tigh.  A (deleted) scene said that she was married to Saul Tigh for 7 years.  Now, I think it would be highly unlikely that the Cylons developed the humanoid Cylons 10 years after the Cylon War (30 years ago) or something, but the possibility that they were using them for the past 5-10 years seems within the realm of possibility to me.  Again, there was never a definative "rule". --[[User:Ricimer|Ricimer]] 00:48, 1 February 2006 (EST)
