I’m glad that Battlestar Galactica is back on. A lot of us BSG fans are eager to find out the identity of the last Cylon, who is signified by the empty spot in the left part of the picture above. I’m throwing in my guess.
They’ve pretty much ruled out most of the remaining major characters. I guess they could’ve lied about certain characters not being Cylons, but I doubt that. As much as I like characters like Dee, it won’t be that big of a deal if it turns out to be her. I think it makes sense to bring in somebody completely new.
I remember hearing a story last summer. I may be getting some of this wrong, but I’m too lazy to look it up now. Billy Campbell, who played Jordan Collier on The 4400, met Ron Moore (executive producer of Galactica) and was practically begging to be given on role on the show. He’s a fan and offered to be on Galactica for free. The head of SciFi Network was there. She said she was going to Campbell to what he said.
Later on I heard that Ron Moore had actually had an idea in mind for Campbell and he was going to be on the show. My guess is that he’ll be the last Cylon. Of course, I’m probably wrong. I just hope they don’t make us wait the entire season to find out.
Update, 4/28
I guess my theory isn’t really new and a Google search would’ve shown me that. I didn’t watch the Season 3 finale until about 6 months after it aired. When the story about Billy Campbell came out last summer, 4 of the final 5 Cylons had already been revealed and at the time people were already wondering if he was a Cylon. At the time I hadn’t realized that they had revealed any new Cylons.
Bad things seem to happen in 3s.
In early January my roommate John and I were going to check out the sushi place in the recently reopened Student Union on campus. A guy driving the other way turned in front of us and the cars collided. The collision was pretty scary. At one point I thought that the car was flipping over, but afterwards I knew that it didn’t happen. It was totally the other guy’s fault. John was driving and his car was totaled. His toe was broken and I came out of it a little sore. The other guy and his passenger were okay as far as I know.
At the end of February, guy broke into my mom’s house and attacked her. She fought him the whole time. She wasn’t seriously hurt but she was really shaken up by the whole thing. The guy who did it lived only a few blocks away. Mom recognized him as someone who she had seen walking down the street one day when she went to check the mail. The police knew that this guy had been going around committing lewd acts like flashing to elderly women. He’s in jail now and hopefully he’ll be there for a long time.
At the end of March my grandmother fell and broke her hip. They were going to perform a hip replacement surgery and they discovered that she had suffered a heart attack. She suffered another heart attack while they were testing her. She went into a “risky” surgery and they removed a blockage that was causing the heart attacks. She’s doing better now. She had the hip replacement surgery last week and is now undergoing rehab.
I’m hoping that this month will continue to be pretty stress-free.

Today is Tax Day. I started on my return online a couple on months ago. I realized that I was going to owe the IRS for the first time, so of course I’m waited until the last day to pay them. I just finished my return.
I’m going to celebrate Tax Day by buying a PS3. I’m not buying any games. I just want to use it to watch movies. I’m not sure that I’ll buy any Blu-ray DVDs anytime soon, but I’ll rent some.
The Sword and Laser is a book club for fantasy and science fiction books. I think I first heat about it on CNET’s Buzz Out Loud podcast. The Sword and Laser was started by one former host and one current host of Buzz Out Loud.
When I first started listening to the Sword and Laser podcast, they were just starting on Neuromancer by William Gibson. I had no desire to tackle that book, so I passed on it. With the recent passing of Arthur C. Clarke, they decided to make the next book one of his. The book that readers chose was Childhood’s End.
It’s about a race of aliens that suddenly show up in ships over the majors cities on Earth. People call them the Overlords. The Overlords rule over Earth and end wars, disease, etc. Most of the things that people need to live are free. Although there was some resistance, the Overlords were able to handle that using psychological methods instead of force. The tradeoff is that man’s creativeness and innovation comes to stop, which many are unhappy with. And what are the true motives for the Overlord appearance on Earth?
If it hadn’t been for The Sword and Laser, I don’t know that I would have ever read this book. I’m so glad that I did. I’ll probably try to read more books by Arthur C. Clarke in the future.

I’ve read the latest 2 parts of the Temeraire series: Black Powder War and Empire of Ivory. I’m really glad I started reading this series. I don’t have 30,000 characters to keep up with in any given scene. I don’t have to read two-page descriptions about somebody’s dress. I don’t have to wait hundreds of pages for something good to happen. And I don’t have to wait 5 years for the next book in the series. The next book in the series, Victory of Eagles, comes out this summer and it’ll actually be out in hardback.
