The final five Cylons are Gods?

Tuesday, July 17, 2007

This seems like it’s a pretty telling little tidbit from some recent interviews.

Aaron Douglas, who plays Chief Tyrol, said at the same press conference that he came across the information by chance early on and has had a little more time to process the notion. “I found out months in advance, accidentally,” he said. “I found a piece of paper lying around that I wasn’t supposed to read, but I read it anyways. And I said, ‘What the … is this?’ And [director Michael] Rymer went, ‘Oh, you’re not supposed to read that.’ … So I kept my mouth shut until it officially came out, and then I phoned [executive producer Ron Moore]. ‘What the hell is this?’”

Douglas said he didn’t like the news at first. “Because I thought you’re taking a fan favorite, a character that’s very identifiable, very human, that the fans really, really like, and you’re really marginalizing him,” he said. “So Ron spoke to me for, like, an hour and a half on the phone, and he explained the whys and the wherefores, and I was convinced at the end. Now I’ve embraced it, more than Michael has, I believe. And I don’t mind going down in history as one of the Cylon gods and one of the 12 Cylon human forms.“

Douglas also revealed a detail about the final five Cylons that had previously been kept under wraps. “The differentiation between the seven and the final five will become more clear,” he said. “We’re not like them. In all seriousness. We’re Cylon, but we’re not connected to these guys at all.”

Sci Fi

Going down in history of one of the Cylon Gods? Hmmm, I need to think on that one.

Let the speculation begin.
