Who is the final cylon? That is the question. As Season 4 rapidly approaches and BSG fans purchase the newly-released Season 3 for a quick refresher, this question is resting on everyone's mind. But the problem with placing bets on the final cylon is that the writers of BSG have said that they don't plan an entire series from the beginning (the way Joss Whedon did/does) and so it's difficult to anticipate their selection. I must admit that I was entirely surprised by the four humanoid cylons that were revealed at Season Three's conclusion, which makes me second-guess any of my predictions. But first, a personal analysis of the final four:
1. Tigh
Tigh as a cylon actually made sense to me. Too many things went wrong when he took charge of Battlestar Galatica when Adama was shot; even then it felt like he was unconsciously sabotaging his efforts. But...how long have cylons looked like humans if Adama has decade-old memories of Tigh?

Thirty years ago if you told me the best science fiction series on television would be Battlestar Galactica I would look at you like you were insane, because way back then when the original BSG aired I was not a fan. I watched it because of the scarcity of sf programming on the three major networks.(Yes kiddies way back then there was no cable,much less the Sci-Fi Channel, and you only had three networks to chose from.) I found the original BSG nothing more than a blatant Star Wars ripoff that ripped off classic movies like High Noon and Ice Station Zebra. So when ABC cancellled BSG I did not shed a tear.
When I heard that Sci-Fi was going to revive BSG i was horrified first by the thought but when I was delighted to find out this BSG is a totally diffrent animal. The creators of the new BSG have taken a rather silly space opera and turned into a parable of our post 9/11 world. The producers, writers, directors and,of course, the actors should be lauded in their effrots to transform BSG into one of the best sf series in the history of television. I will surly miss this BSG when it

I must say the first season especially the mini series was great. But some of the story lines are getting to be boring, pointless or just off in left field. for example Pegasus and the new model of viper show up in season 2...HUH? how many times was the point that BSG survived only because of the old tech been stated previous? Why is it that there is a unlimited supply of vipers and Rapters? Why not continue on with the new model "stealth" ship made by the BSG crew? The story line was really good, but it seems that season 2 and now 3 are just filler. Did the writers only expect one season and when they were extended just say screw it and start pumping out shows that dont relate to the past at all?
Sad. Best new series in years down the tube.
