Quck glimpse of what Homer Simpson would look like in real life

This whole issue with Tigh being a Cylon poses a couple of interesting questions that I’m rather interested in seeing how on earth they explain. First of all, as much as I LOVED LOVED LOVED the season 3 finale of Battlestar Galactica, I’m not really thrilled with the fact that they just sort sprung these 4 being cylons on us.

Yes, there have been hints about the Chief being a Cylon ever since season 1 (and they really hit us with it by the way he found the temple earlier this season), but come on… all the rest of them were just BAM out of the blue.

They all raise questions… but Tigh in particular. Here are some of my questions and thoughts about him:

1) PROBLEM - The Cylons technology for making skin jobs (human looking Cylons) is supposedly new. Tigh fought in the original Cylon wars before the Cylons had such technology.

2) POSSIBLE SOLUTION - Tigh is not the ORIGINAL Tigh. Perhaps the real Tigh was replaced by a Cylong a few years ago.

3) POSSIBLE SOLUTION - We already know that the other 5 are somehow fundamentally different from the other Cylon skin jobs. Hints have even been given that they perhaps have an agenda of their own. Is it also possible that these 5 pre-exist the other skin jobs by decades? Perhaps they existed in secret during the original Cylon wars?

4) PROBLEMS WITH MY SOLUTIONS - In the case of a cylon replacing the original Tigh at some point… that would mean the Cylon would have already had to look exactly like him (Nothing in the shows up to this point has ever suggested that the Cylons are shape shifters). With the idea of the 5 pre-existing all the way back to the original Cylon wars… that would mean Tigh would have to age like a normal human. From what we understand… Cylons don’t do that.

I guess the real point of this post is to express that even though I have a couple of working theories about how on earth Tigh could be a Cylons… I really don’t know. So open up and share any thoughts or theories you have about it.

Ok, I know that may sound ridiculous, but I seriously have to ask the question… Does Peter Kill Isaac? No really… think about it for a minute.

We know that Peter absorbs the powers of other Heroes he comes in contact with right? ok… now follow me here.

1) We know that in the future Hiro finds Isaac dead on the floor with the top of his head cut off.

2) We know this is how Sylar kills people

3) Peter probably blames the death of Simone on Isaac

4) Isaac tried to kill Peter

5) The last we saw, Sylar and Peter are fighting.

I submit to you (although even I admit this may be a LITTLE BIT far fetched) that Peter gets Sylars abilities, goes a little bit crazy, and ends up killing Isaac!! Just wait and see!

However, there is one BIG potential weakness to my theory. Peter doesn’t need to cut off heads to take other people’s powers like Sylar does. Also, Peter already has Isaac’s power and has already painted the future a couple of times. These COULD be snags to my theory. But we’ll see.

The Battlestar Galactica Season 3 episode finally came… and now the long long long (way too long) wait for season 4 begins. I’ll go into more of the bigger questions I have about the finale a little later, but for now I thought I’d throw up my general thoughts on it.

Season 3 in general has been a bit of a step backwards for Battlestar Galactica. The first 5 or 6 episodes of season 3 were just as good as anything that has been on television in history (the EXODUS episodes I still maintain were the all time greatest episodes in television history). But after the Exodus the show stated to sputter a little bit.

The show has still been great… but not as great as we’ve come to expect over the past 15 or so episodes. So what on earth could they do with the season finale to keep my juices pumping for season 4? Well… THEY FRACKING DID IT!!!! I LOVED it!

First of all, the way the trial of Giaus Baltar was portrayed was excellent. No, you couldn’t get away with that shit in a REAL court on earth… but that wasn’t a real court and it wasn’t earth. I appreciate the show kept that in mind, and it made for damn good television. Apolo’s speech on the stand echoed EVERYTHING I had been thinking since the start of the trial, and I was glad to see all those points brought up.

But let’s move on the the cliff hanger shall we? I think we all knew that when Starbuck bought it, that it would turn out she was a Cylon. No big surprises there… but Tigh? The Chief? Anders? Tory? Are you SERIOUS?!?!?!

I guess The Chief should hit us as THAT big of a Surprise. He suspected he was a Cylon once, he was the one who was drawn to the temple… so I guess that all makes sense.

Still… these are questions I’ll go more into later… for now I just wanted to give my general thoughts. And my general thoughts on the season 3 finale is “IT was FRACKING AMAZING!” Can’t wait for season 4!
