[QUOTE="The Grumpy Celt, post: 3303279, member: 1019"] I don’t know how close the writers are going to stick to real-world Greek myths, but there weren’t really any “trickster” figures (like Loki or Coyote) among them. All the gods caused havoc, even Apollo, who otherwise is thought of as being a god of rationality and order. There were minor deities of madness, chaos and fear, but they were minor and still did not fulfill this trickster/chaos-bringer role. According to the BG novels, whatever came between the original first generation rebellious Cylons and the biological Cylons made the humanoid versions. I think this novel was titled [i]The Cylons Secret.[/i] Granted, the novels are non-canon, but I think this version of events is what the show’s producers intend to suggest and the one that makes the most sense. However, this still leaves a lot of gaps and holes in terms of what we know about the Cylons, their society, their history, so forth and so on. And I think it was always supposed to be Baltar who left the message for Adama to find – he had been told about “12 Cylon Models” by Number Sex… I mean Number Six. As for who the final Five are, I think they are going to be: 1. Petty Officer D 2. Jay 3. Silent Bob 4. That guy at my work who keeps taking the last cup of coffee and leaving the burner on so the last spoon full of coffee fries to the bottom of the pot and smells bad. 5. Truth Seeker [/QUOTE]
