Battlestar Galactica is coming to an end and Season 4 poster reflects it. Katie Sackhoff says that there is nothing to read into it, but where’s the fun in that? So lets geek on!

Things I’ve noticed. First for the obvious:

• Tyrol is holding a knife that he’s staring at. Maybe he’s having a hard time coming to grips with his newfound Cylon-side? Ya think?
• D’Anna, Number 3, is pointing at Six. That could mean lots of things.
• Starbuck is back in Anders’ loving arms. Well Anders is a Cylon and who the hell knowns what Starbuck is. Well, I have my theories - below.

Maybe not so obvious:

• It looks like Baltar’s book My Triumphs, My Mistakes is sitting in front of Lee Adama.
• There are two glasses of water on the table. But a chalice between Lee and Tigh.
• There is something on the floor behind Starbuck.
• Adama and Roslin don’t look like they were actually in this shot. They look like they were CGed and added in later. And they are the only two who have a slight glow around them. It’s more noticeable with Adama than Roslin.
• There are 4 books on the table.
• What is the design on the table cloth? Red and white stripes along the top and bottom with a blue background in the middle with two yellow circles. Could the circles be the icon from the Temple of Jupiter? I don’t see any details in the circles but it’s hard to tell.
• Everyone except Adama, Roslin , Lee and Six are focused on something. Those four are the only ones in their own world.
• Helo and Tyrol are the only ones who don’t have both feet on the ground. Sometimes that has been used to foreshadow death. Boomer’s right foot is obscured by the table leg.

Who’s missing?

Da Vinci’s Last Supper had 12 apostles and Christ. This photo only has 12 characters. Is Christ missing? My theory on the matter is that Romo Lampkin is the Christ figure. He’s the 5th and original hybrid Cylon.

The opening credits always end with “…and they have a plan”, referring to the Cylons. My wife and I joke “No they don’t. They’re making this up as they go along.” Clearly we have seen the Cylons change their opinion on matters. They admitted that the attack was a mistake, etc.

So maybe the plan doesn’t refer to the Cylons that we know but the five remaining Cylons. They are the ones with the plan. The humans and known Cylons have been following a plan, influenced by the four - Tyrol, Tigh, Anders and Tory - and of course the mastermind Lampkin.

Where does that leave Starbuck? Perhaps she is the goddess Aurora. I can’t wait to see where that goes.
