Questions To Ponder While Battlestar Galactica Is On Hiatus

Questions To Ponder While Battlestar Galactica Is On Hiatus A number of things were revealed during last night’s mid-season finale of Battlestar Galactica. (Spoiler Warning: If you haven't seen the episode, stop reading now!) In fact, by the end of the episode, I found myself wondering what wasn’t revealed in the episode. Upon thinking it over, I realized the answer to that question is, “a lot.” I doubt I was alone in being completely surprised that the humans found earth already. Somehow I just assumed that wouldn’t happen until the end or at the very least, closer to the finale. In a single episode, the four final-fivers were outed, the humans re-allied with the rebel cylons and they all made it to earth together. So what’s left for the rest of the series? I decided to come up with a list of questions that have yet to be answered and I’m guessing/hoping will be resolved by the time the series ends.

Major Questions Yet To Be Answered

What’s the deal with the visions involving Baltar, Six, Roslin and Hera?

Where’s the fifth? Whoever it is, according to D’Anna, they’re not among the fleet so where are they? Are they dead (or presumed dead)? Or are they still wherever the other four came from? And how does D’Anna know they’re not with the fleet? It will be interesting to see what information, if any, she reveals about the fifth.

What happened to earth? Who demolished the thirteenth colony and where did everyone go? How long have they been gone? Will the fleet be able to stay on earth or is the planet uninhabitable due to radiation?

Where are the rest of the cylons? Did Boomer die when the hub blew up or are she and the rest of the non-rebels off somewhere trying to figure out where everyone else jumped off to? Will they have cooled off by the time they do reunite with the humans and rebels (I’m guessing a reunion is inevitable)?

What’s Kara’s special destiny? Is that all done with now that they’ve found earth or is there more to it?

Unresolved Character Issues

Tigh and Adama: Will they be able to go back to being friends? Can Adama get over Tigh being a Cylon and learn to trust him again?

Adama and Roslin: How much time does Roslin have left and will she be able to spend any of it with Adama? Given the state of Earth, it looks like she’s going to have her hands full.

Roslin and Tory: Will these two even be speaking to each other when the season resumes? Will they have a reason to? Tory’s no longer working for the president. I’d still love to see the awkwardness that’s sure to ensue if ever these two need to be in a room together. Plus I’d be surprised and maybe even a little disappointed if Tory were to be indifferent towards Roslin’s inevitably declining health.

Tory and Anders: At the very end of “Revelations,” we saw Tory and Anders standing with the group on earth and Tory reaches out to him but he walks away from her. What was that all about? I kind of thought they were over since “Crossroads.” And since we’re talking about Tory, is it over between her and Baltar or just beginning? It’s not like Baltar’s got any issues with dating a Cylon.

Anders and Kara: We barely got to see Kara’s reaction to Anders being a Cylon. Will she even try to reconcile with him? It’s not like things were so great between them before this whole Final-Five business. What’s going to happen now that she knows he’s a frakkin’ toaster?

Kara and Lee: Lee’s got his big-boy suit and political aspirations to keep him warm at night now and seeing them in the scenes they had in “Revelations” just felt different. Is there anything left to the Starbuck/Apollo romance? Or are these two just headed in different directions?

Caprica and Tigh: So what’s up with these two? Are Tigh’s feelings for Caprica based entirely on her tendency to morph into Ellen in his mind or is he genuinely in love with her? And now there’s baby Tighlon on the way. I have a hard time picturing Tigh and Caprica with a happy little family much like the Agathons (on a good day, anyway). So what’s next for them?

Caprica and Baltar: Are these two donesville now that Caprica’s got a thing going with Tigh and Baltar has (or had) a thing with Tory (and his cult women)? Will there be any closure with their relationship or at least a general acknowledgement now that things are done?

Are there any totally big relationships that I missed? What are you most excited to see in the second half of the final season? Any theories as to how some of these issues are going to be resolved?
