BSG questions

Warning: possible spoilers. Maybe. If you’re concerned, then don’t read this.

I just watched the mid-season finale of Battlestar Galactica. First, I have to say I approve of the particular cliffhanger that was chosen. Second, I totally called it!!! Third, now that some of the Big Questions have been resolved (in ways I wholeheartedly approve of), we are free to consider some of the much more interesting questions raised through the series, such as:

• What, exactly, is meant by “all of this has happened before…?”
• Tigh suggests that the Final Four are fundamentally different from other Cylons. In what way(s)?
• Haven’t we heard that the Final Five have been to Earth? How the heck does that work? When did they have the time?
• What, exactly, does the Cylons’ God want from them?
• OperaHouseRunningStealingHybridBabyWTF?!?
• Someone/something is guiding humans & Cylons toward Earth. Who/what is it, and (especially in light of last week’s episode), with what purpose?
• What the freaking blue heebie-jeebies happened to Kara Thrace, and is she even Kara anymore?
• Okay, I admit I’m also interested in who/what the final Cylon is. Caprica Six said it was “very close,” but D’Anna said it was not part of the fleet. It will be interesting to see what odd category it fits into, now that it seems to have been ruled out of all reasonable categories.

I didn’t think BSG could capture my attention again, after I got Seriously Disillusioned with the show (which seemed to have given up on itself) in the middle of season 2. But I’m captivated, once again. I can’t wait for the final episodes in the Fall.

If you have more questions and/or any answers to these, I’m certainly open to all speculation.
