Revelations
Maybe it’s just misleading editing, but did anyone else get the sense that the preview for next week’s episode of Battlestar Galactica may have revealed the fifth Cylon? And if so, isn’t that sort of a terrible thing to do?

That seemed to be the obvious interpretation, which is why it was almost certainly wrong. There’s no way it’s her.

We’ve known who it was all along….

I think the President’s reaction, looking left and then right, indicates to me that Anders will be un-closeted. I think the fact that Starbuck wasn’t on the basestar adds strength to this possibility as she had indicated she’d kill Anders if he was a cylon and RDM rarely uses such obvious foreshadowing.
Also, Starbuck essentially switched places with the President on the basestar and with Adama (funny, I started typing Obama) now hunting, er, searching for her, we most likely will end up with two factions of colonials each led by members of the final five.
What that means in the end, I know not. The clear allusion shot of Tori near the end of the episode would seem to indicate a potential for Tigh and Tori to close ranks in opposition to President Adama. I’d love to see Starbuck pull something similar to what Lee did in protecting Rosalyn’s administration when he drew down on Tigh.

Misleading editing is par for the course in next-week-ons. I think we’re safe.

My girlfriend came up with the same analysis as Sam. The comment is probably aimed at Anders.

I told my wife that BSG may have revealed the fifth of the final five in a promo and she asked, “is it the president?” We both agreed it makes perfect sense dramatically, and Rosylin is sharing the dreams with the other two cylons.
