Cylon Discussion - SPOILERS!

The Light People or something. Dunno.

Don't think that this BSG will get too metaphysical, at least more than they are already.

What in the nebula triggered the Final 5 I wonder? A beacon?

We know Cavil has been calling the shots. But he's been one step ahead of everything. He knew who the Final 5 were and told his people to not look for it.

He knows Hera sees something. She is the key to what's really going down.

But if Starbuck is the first true Hybrid... what's her role?

-HECK!

I found that on battlestar wiki. It has it's own wiki dammit.

I bet some coin that they show up!

Quote :

The Beings of Light are a mysterious race that travel using the Ship of Lights. Called angels by the primitive people on Kobol, these creatures helped them develop the civilization that would become the Twelve Colonies (War of the Gods).

Apparently mistakes were made in the past by these advanced beings, as they seem reluctant to interfere directly with the Colonials or the Terrans. They help Apollo and battlestar Galactica save the Terrans from themselves (Experiment in Terra).
Count Iblis is a fallen member of this race, who has chosen to use his powers for darker purposes (War of the Gods).

If Kara was resurrected, it was on earth. Which means there was another ship, or (unit) to make this possible. Doesn't mean that she'd pop up on a basestar, because she was never connected with/to the cylons (that previous exist). Kara could be much older than anyone knows! *shrug* She could be a Lord of Kobol (or connected to them). She could be an angel. There are so many possibilities.

For all we know, what happened this previous week with her... the guy at the piano, the song, etc... that could have been our answer, without an actual answer. It might be all we get. It's like... okay, here's your answer, but now you have to figure it out.

Interesting. Isn't it kind of a hail mary story wise to introduce this big plot point? Sure there has been some outside influence... but introducing the Beings of Light in some form is huge.

That wiki entry mentions people on Kobal called these people 'angels'.

Sounded familiar though.

Check out this quote from Leoben, Season 4, "The Road Less Traveled" (aboard that tiny ship looking for Earth.)

Leoben Conoy: Nothing feels quite like it did before. Does it?

Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: [Holding her temples] What are you doing to me?

Leoben Conoy: All of your life, you forced back the truth by lashing out at everyone around you. Anesthetizing yourself with ambrosia and empty affairs. But you've lost the taste for those petty things.

Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: I'm the same person.

Leoben Conoy: No. There's a void, an emptiness that can only be filled by taking the next step on your journey.

Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: What happened to me the two months I was missing?

Leoben Conoy: I don't know.

Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: The mandala, the paintings, my mother. It had to mean something.

Leoben Conoy: You have to make peace with your past.

Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: Why?

Leoben Conoy: Because that part of you is gone. I told you when I first came aboard this ship that you had changed. I look at you now. I don't see Kara Thrace. I see an angel blazing with the light of God, an angel eager to lead her people home.

Anders, before he went into surgery in 'No Exit' a few weeks ago...

"Saul, Stay with the fleet. It’s all starting to happen. It’s a miracle. It a gift from the angels. Please Kara make them stop. "

-HECK!

RDM confirms via podcast - the piano player was Starbucks dad, in one form or another.

-HECK!

SWEET! I knew it was her father! We just don't know if he dad was also Daniel. That rocks to get some confirmation.
