After watching the season thus far I think it likely that the Admiral’s days are numbered. His death also matches the background that has been established thus far. This doesn’t let the president off the hook though, she’s toast too.

COMPLETELY agree... he is Pythia’s Dying Leader now leading the fleet to the Final Five’s "Colony" where they created the humanoids with the Centurion Cylons. I predict, also, that Kara’s daddy is the "extinct" 7 (artist and her weird "special destiny"). Who knows.

Yup...that makes sense. I thought the original 7 might be Gaeta but starbuck’s dad makes more sense. That should mean that she is a hybrid. I really hope not though, to many cylon tie ins already. I still think that there’s something more to do with the cylons harvesting starbuck’s whatevers on Caprica too.

Danny, I’m convinced that Cavil had something to do with Starbuck’s apparent ressurection and her viper and corpses final resting place on Earth. I’ll keep it simple... how the hell did Boomer know where to bring Elen? Cavil had to know where earth is, the same way he was somehow exempted from ignorance of the final five. He also had the genetic material the Simon took at the breeding farm to work with: if she was a cylon he had what he’d need to grow her a body. He also helped the five create the other skin-jobs, its possible he may have crossed the species barrier, coming up with a way to do conversions.

As to Adama dying... no. Adama DRINKING? Yes. He’s at the end of his rope and refuses to accept that humanity is at the end of its journey. Can’t jump away, doesn’t want to land, where’s the bottle? He’s becomging a drunk. Its been an interesting role reversal between him and Tigh lately, but now that Adama isn’t semi-suicidal I’ve got no fears for his life. He’s too tough to die.

The dying leader bit has taken an interesting turn for me. I am not convinced that humans can’t be upraged to be able to download. In fact, I’m sure its possible. Roslin being the first one fits with a prophecy and would usher in a new era of one race one people that fits with the trend of breaking the cycle we’ve seen: they need to be one tribe in one place so that they can divide and seperate again in the future the same way they split on Kobol in the past.
