I don't know about anyone else but after last night's finale all I could think about was Lynche's "Twin Peaks" or something in the lines bizzare but beautifully interesting and WHAT!

I ran through dozens of scenerios of how in the world could a Bob Dylan tune possibly be in deep space alone (not all jarbled up with millions of other transmissions that have leaked into space) and a driving theme for four of the characters. So does this mean that when the Colonials finally arrive on Earth it will more in likely be post Bob Dylan era or will it pre Bob Dylan, and that Bob Dylan is actually a Cylon or an offworlder who writes all of his songs from lucid memories of being in space but forgetting that he actually was in space.

I was first thinking that with this series when the 13th tribe eventually landed on Earth it was pre-civilization times and that in order to erase their problem of the evils of technology the Colonials destroyed everything and started from scratch and eventually started the greek culture after a few hundred years.

How long ago again did the 13th Colony leave Cobol in the timeline?

Now I am convinced that when they (the fleeing Colonials) do find Earth it will definatly be modern times due to this Bob Dylan thing. This goes to my previous question of how long ago did the 13th Colony supposedly settle Earth.

The fact that there are now Cylons discovering that they are now Cylons I can live with, but this Bob Dylan thing is going to drive me nuts until I figure out how this plays into the series.

There is a spoiler interview with Moore at AICN http://www.aintitcool.com/node/32045
Sounds awfully close to jump the shark material to me.

I still think this is all some drug induced dream that Rosilin is having on her way back from the decommissioning ceremonies on Galatica. When she wakes up its all over man!

I would have preferred to have heard Jimi's version of the song over Dylans.

I was fearing the drug/hallucination/dream thing, but I can't possibly beleive that this would take that significant of a nose dive, even though there are some stong indications and plays towards this. I for one wouldn't riot in the street demanding my time be returned to me, but I know of people who would.

Do you suppose that they will introduce Bob Dylan as the fifth one. All things considered he would make a good Cylon emulating many of the traits that all of the other fleshy clyons have. Tye almost cherries it with his tantric "What the frack is going on" deamenors, and the mildly tosseled hair of the Chief is getting close along with the cool and somewhat "whatever man - I'm tuned in - but I can't figure out why" attitude.

Well, at least this episode( and the previous one ) was entertaining, as opposed to the last few. I'm just happy *something* is happening. This show takes way too long breaks from the main plot.

I think the whole "Tigh,Tyrol,Tori, and Anders" too Cylon plot is a bit too far fetched. Now it moves the appearance of human cylons to 20-years before the miniseries (as records could be faked, and adama's first meeting with tigh is 20 years prior I believe).

Then again, Moore or Eick did once answer the question "Who are the Final Five Cylons?" with the cryptic "Who said they had to be cylons?"


But I don't know. I enjoy the series enough in HD to keep watching, so I'll resume watching Doctor Who (At least we can blame that insanity on fun british humor) when it starts back next month to hold me over.
