The Final Cylon, Conception and Prophecy
- "The missing 3 will give you the five who come from the home of the thirteenth"
The human/cylon child hera obviously has a central role in the series. This is evidenced by her prescence in the opera house, 6 and baltar's delusion that the child is theirs, and the desire of both the human's and the cylons to retain possession of the child. Ill avoid discussing the the childs intended representation as the next evolutionary step in mankinds developement in order to emphasize a few overlooked facts. Conception has eluded the cylons until hera's birth. They can build machines, but they cannot create life. This leaves them unable to fufill the Cylon God's law to be fruitfull and multiply, i.e. procreate. If they cannot concieve they remain outside their god's will.
- A. HERA - is the product of a female cylon (sharon) and a male human (helo) thus estalishing that conception is possiblewith a couple composed of these constituient parts.
- B. NICK- is the product of a male cylon (tyrol) and a female human (cally) validating this type of conception is possible.
- C. BABY6 - is the product of a male cylon and a female cylon the last remaining combination and supposedly not possible. (is it tighs love for ellen a human that enables this conception ?)
However, back to the puzzle the missing 3 (Hera , Nick, Baby6) are 3 misssing babies will give you the five; so there must be a relationship here to the final five
TIGH....parent TYROL......parent Tory....hid baby hera at roslins direction Sam.......I could use help on him
which leaves only 1 who has to be related in some way to the hybrid babies.....and which im keeping to myself....the baby's are the clue see if you can piece it together —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Richnpoor (talk • contribs).
Mechanical humanoid Cylons
How should we handle the mechanical humanoid Cylons from Caprica? Should we create a separate article for them, or should we give them a section in this article? -- Gordon Ecker 22:22, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
- An own article might be warranted. We'll see when it airs. I don't think we should put them together with the modern humanoid Cylons. From what I read so far, they are more like machines, possibly with some biological components. But not humanoid. -- Serenity 15:26, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
- Zoe-R looks completely human in the Caprica trailer. -- Gordon Ecker 01:44, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
Final Five
Should the Final Five section of the article be edited to match the layout of the Significant Seven part? To me personally it makes sense, simply for neatness and a better flow for the article. My proposed change is that each Final Five Cylon would have a subheading, picture and short blurb ala the Significant Seven. Instead of having the current subheading "The Final Cylon Model" we'd have "Samuel Anders", "Tory Foster", "Ellen Tigh", "Saul Tigh" and "Galen Tyrol" (I've went by alphabetical surname). Thoughts? -- Joveus 08:37, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
- I couldn't agree more. -- Noneofyourbusiness 14:45, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
- Well I've made the changes. I've also removed the "Thirteenth Cylon" bit because nothing has really been said about it in the series. However I think that might turn up on "A Disquiet Follows My Soul" tonight so maybe it'll come back. The article is 40kb now, and apparantly some browsers have difficulty supporting over 32kb. -- Joveus 07:59, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Significant Eight and Final Five?
Personally, I always thought "Significant Seven" and "Final Five" were a little too cute, and changing it to "Significant Eight" is simply grating. Now that we know the full difference between the two sets, maybe we can use more appropriate descriptors, say, "Colonial Cylons" for the Seven/Eight, and "Terran Cylons" for the Five. -- David cgc 13:01, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
- "Significant Seven" is a term coined by RDM himself. Apparently that's what the writers call them. -- Troyian 13:57, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
- Indeed, but Significant Eight is a silly term now that they've added another. They are the humanoid Cylons made by the final five if you want to get descriptive, or the ones made near the twelve colonies. Can't call them "The Eight" as that might mean that model.--bradtem 04:58, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
