I haven't really being attention to the timing so that's news to me. What you suggest is technically possible but I can't see that happening. It just seems a bit awkward, and I remember an acceleration growth episode from Space: 1999, and that didn't really work. If it was running to five series a wandering might work but the pace is picking up so the door's shutting on that.

Still, that was an interesting speculation and the angle on the Final Cylon was novel. That's sort of the the direction I was trying to nudge with the Baltar topic. It's easy to get locked into obsessing over what the writers may have come up with but a refreshing and self-actualising change to come up with something of your own. I think that's pretty cool and, I reckon, Ron would like that.
