The last time of year of Battlestar Galactica is upon us , and the boastful interrogative is : Who is the final Cylon ? You probably do n’t eff , and I sure do n’t , but I have some excellent guesses .
( OK , yes — manner , right smart back , back when George W. Bush was still the president , Iconfessed to giving up on BSG after only a time of year and a half . And no , nothing has changed since then . So why , yield my true circumscribed knowledge , should you even require to mind to my guess ?

For one thing , as Sir Francis Bacon tell — and I think the guy who invented bacon jazz what he was talk about — knowledge is business leader . And we all know that power corrupts . In fact , what sort of person is well suited to exert power ? The individual who does n’t want it . Because you could trust them . Ergo , because I lack knowledge of BSG , and do n’t really need it , you could entrust me . Wow , why am I not a billionaire yet ? )
Ahem . On to the guesswork .
first-class Guess # 1 : The terminal Cylon is my wife . What do we bang about the last Cylon , you hombre from in reality watching the show and me from looking at the Internet?We know he or she is n’t in the Colonial fleet ( probably).And my married woman is definitely not in the fleet ! I ’m fairly sure I would notice if she ever traveled abstemious - years forth . Further , all of the ma’am Cylons so far have proven to be very attractive cleaning woman , and my wife is a very attractive cleaning lady . Furtherer , why would she brush off my persistent attempt to consummate our marriage if not to conceal the fact that her back glows cherry-red during lovemaking ? And furtherest of all , why have I repeatedly come home to find Ramón , the Venezuelan service man from downstairs , in our flat , if he is n’t there to do covert upkeep on her automaton body ? So , dearest , Ramón — I’m on to you guys ! estimate I ’m a piddling sharper than you thought !

On the other script , it ’s wholly potential that Ramón is simply helping my wife design the rarified surprisal party ever for my birthday in August . In that sheath , it ’s quite potential that the final Cylon is my married woman ’s best friend . She , too , is not in the fleet . More important , back in season one , Leoben Conoy , or Number Two , tells President Roslin that “ Adama is a Cylon . ”Well , most folks agree that if that was n’t an unlimited lie , then it ’s still mislead in some way , like maybe he mean an Adama other than the commander . Or maybe ( and I retrieve you ’ll match that this makes a hatful more sense ) he entail that the Cylon was “ Ada ma”—in other words , the mother of Ada . And my married woman ’s best friend ’s girl is indeed named Ada . Ada is a child , and what do Cylons do it to do ? Have babies . Q.E.D.
But oh , you brainos whine , Number Two would n’t have known who any of the Final Five were . Nyeeeeah . Nyeeeeah . That ’s what you sound like , and it hurts my ears . You probably want Barack Obama to be the last Cylon ! Well , sorry — he ’s in this picture , right smack - dab in the middle :
… and the last affair we know about the final Cylon is thatshe or he is n’t in that picture , according to serial publication Lord Ron Moore . Sorry , hopefaces !
But I think you ’re close . Because Battlestar Galactica has aimed since its inception to be more than a boilerplate spaceship show about lasers and robots . It wants to recount us something about who we are ; it want to show us there are no leisurely answer , no black - and - white division of right and amiss , no torpedo who are wholly undecomposed and no villains who are completely vile .
And so I am positive that when the last Cylon is revealed , a hush will fall over the lineament who are present , somber medicine will wreak , and the camera will pan slowly across the gather faces , until it issue forth to rest on …
A mirror . Yes , because you are the final Cylon . ( Time ’s Person of the Year for2006 , not2008 . ) You are the last Cylon , and I am the final Cylon , and my wife is the last Cylon , and her best friend is the final Cylon , and Ramón is the final Cylon . We are all the final Cylon . Except for Barack Obama and the other people in that depiction with him .
