Damn !! Why did I read that !
Don’t read this ! Resist!
Having said that…it would be completely in line with BSG modus operandi, wouldn’t it?
[spoiler]There is a lot of merit to that idea, considering that a lot of people have observed that all of the Final Cylons are themselves in positions of power or very close to the people in charge.[/spoiler]
I still hope that Dirk Benedict is gonna pop up with a cameo during an episode.
Given his terrorist activities on Caprica he too arguably is in need of redemption.
However, I still think there may be something to this idea that the final Cylon was not present with the 4 is because he/she was “dead” at the time. Included among those characters, who most prominently need redemption, are Ellen and Cain.
And Kat. And Kiwigirl, what’s her name.
Yeah, I guess Kat does - she may have inadvertently brought the skinjob Cylons to Caprica. Kiwigirl?
Kat also lied her way into the service.
Kiwigirl = Kendra Shaw. Had to look it up.
Well, if being dead is the criteria, I’m gonna once again put forth the idea the final cylon is Zak Adama—for the sole reason that it would be cause for a lot of drama amongst the main characters.
I think Kat already redeemed herself with her death. Plus, I don’t want to see her again. Kiwi I’d take. Spoon, even.
Awesome!
All those of you who are staring blankly at this comment, see hereand the posts after that.
Kat isn’t important enough to the overall story arc to be the Final Cylon. Kendra would have worked out just fine, but she wasn’t around for first season.
Kat and Kendra redeemd themselves thru their deaths. Zak does not need redemption, it seems to me.
Toht
Thot
So tell me guys, and be honest with me. Should I be worried that my GWC screenname is only one dyslexics’ typo away from a Indianna Jones movie villian?
Take your pick:
Toht
Arnold Toht (Ronald Lacey), is a sinister Gestapo agent who attempts to retrieve the medallion from Marion, but his hand is burned by it. The scarred inscription on his hand is used by the Nazis to pinpoint the Ark’s location, but as his hand lacks the code on its other side, they end up digging in the wrong area. Toht’s face is melted by the spirits in the Ark but in the comic book adaptation he is killed by Indiana during the truck chase. Toht’s first name is given as Arnold in the novelization,[1] but in a sequel comic book, his vengeful sister Ilsa calls him Ernst.[19]
Thoth (his Greek name derived from the Egyptian *ḏiḥautī, written by Egyptians as ḏḥwty) was considered one of the most important deities of the Egyptian pantheon, often depicted with the head of an Ibis. He was considered the heart and tongue of Ra as well as the means by which Ra’s will was translated into speech.[3] He has also been likened to the Logos of Plato[3] and the mind of God.[4] (see The All) In the Egyptian mythology, he has played many vital and prominent roles, including being one of the two deities (the other being Ma’at) who stood on either side of Ra’s boat.[5] He has further been involved in arbitration,[6] magic, writing, science,[7] and the judging of the dead.[8]
ALTERNATE NAMES
Djehuty is sometimes alternatively rendered as Tahuti, Tehuti, Zehuti, Techu, or Tetu. Thoth (also Thot or Thout) is the Greek version derived from the letters ḏḥwty.
Yuo. Uh huh. Indeed. I should worry. Scared. Worried. Flumoxed.
Seeing that BSG has a strong inclination to incorporate all kinds of ancient gods into their stories, I wouldn’t be much surprised if in the next episode, Starbuck walks up to Lee and says, “hey it’s Thot Day, you know the 13th Lord of Kobol, I saw him in a vision and he looks like someone from Dune”
ThotFullGuy: Do you ever dream that you’re brandishing a hot poker in a Nepalese bar? Do you own a black suit ? Do you have henchmen ? Is there a historically significant scar burned into your palm ? Do you carry a collapsible coathanger ?
If you’ve answered YES to any of these…well, start worrying. And take me off your Christmas card list.
Chances are he actually owns a black suit.
Couuld happen. Could very well happen.
I own just one suit. And it’s a brown coat. Of course!
Oh Jeeze, there’d be no living with him then !!
