Galactica

With the Galactica premier less than 2 hours away in my time zone, I realized I never posted my looney theory about the identity of the final Cylon, so I'm going to do that now (just in case it's revealed tonight). I should note that this is really "out-there", and I don't actually think this person will be the final Cylon. It's more like, "I think it could be interesting IF..." thing.

Soooo....

I think it'd be interesting IF it were Kara's mother. It'd make Kara a hybrid, which would explain things like why Kara's "special", why she has a destiny, why she drew the mandala, why she could "feel" the path to Earth, etc., and possibly why Leoben is obsessed with her (if he's somehow drawn to her, due to her hybrid-ness (although the "significant seven" Cylons don't seem able to recognize the final five, so why would they be drawn to a hybrid?))... all without Kara herself being a Cylon.

So, that's my looney theory. :P I have several equally looney theories about Lost and Wheel of Time, if anyone were curious. ;)

I also noticed the D'Anna stated that the final Cylon wasn't in the fleet? But she didn't say WHEN. "Now" is assumed, but what if she were telling a lie of omission? "The 5th isn't in the Colonial fleet -- or at least was apart from it for a really long time..." (So perhaps it's someone who came over from the Pegasus?) *shrug* Or, "The 5th Cylon isn't part of the fleet -- because he/she feels alienated..."

Otherwise, the only legitimate ideas I can come up with aren't very original: Gaeta, as it would tie in with his participation in the resistance, and Dualla, as it would tie in with her involvement with Lee. I sincerely hope it is NOT Baltar or Roslin (but especially Baltar), as I think their stories are a lot more meaningful if they are human.

I do hope it's a woman.

Heroes: I've got a theory...

Spoilers for Episode 303:

Question/Issue: If Tranessica were "created" (presumably in a lab), why would a creation that valuable be raised by the likes of Hal Sanders?

Possible Answer (that leads to more questions): It was a nature vs. nurture experiment. Would clones, with the same genetic makeup but in different circumstances, manifest the same superpowers? Would the circumstances themselves matter? Is it a coincidence that someone who grew up around physical abuse has great strength as a superpower?

Lost S4 Finale...Coming Up!

I'm anxiously awaiting the finale. I usually crave spoilers pretty badly, but I've been in a spoiler blackout period since after Cabin Fever. (This is normal; I usually back off from spoilers close to a finale.)

In preparation for the finale, I have prepared a tome of random thoughts about the episodes up through There's No Place Like Home, Part 1 (the pre-finale episode). However, since they contain spoilers, I have placed the post in the comments.
