Battlestar Galactica: Final Theory

[andrewducker]

Ok, first up, I hope this is not what they have planned...

We have Gaius, "writing the final chapter of mankind".
We have everyone else, off to fight Cavil.
And we have a great big black hole.

Now, imagine that as Gaius makes his final choices (and I've said before that I think that the fate of mankind will come down to a choice made by Gaius), and kills the remains of mankind off, everyone else takes out Cavil, but are swept into the Black Hole.

And find themselves, thousands of years previously, over the world of Kobol.

Where they form a civilisation, that fails to last, from where the Cylons head to Earth, to form their own Colony.

From where the humans head off to form 12 colonies of their own.

Because all of this has happened before.  And all of this will happen again.

I really, really hope that this isn't what happens.

(Note: I still maintain that the explanation for Starbuck being brough back and the various visions is Daniel, the seventh son)

I completely agree, but it is the only idea for and ending I've heard that works with everything we know (minus the stuff with Starbuck & Daniel, which must be dealt with in the last ep.)

Becca's idea is that Cavil is defeated, Hera is safely retrieved, there is peace between humans and their allied cylons, but the fleet is still searching for a possibly non-existent home as their ships continue to fall apart. This wouldn't be remotely satisfactory, but might well be how it ends.

My thought is that after the final battle, the survivors head back to Kobol for lack of anywhere else to go, and do their best not to start the whole cycle over again.

The presence of the black hole immediately led me to wonder who they're going to thrown into it.

It's like Chekhov's gun.

There have been numerous references to cylons and humans "going through the cycle again". I suspect we are going to get a matrix style explanation, but I do, like you, hope not.
