OMG I'm so glad I'm not the only one

As a recent newbie to BSG I have to admit that I love the show but it's getting too !@(#@%&^% confusing. Especially with the whole Kara cremating her own dead body thing. At this point in time I'm pretty much convinced that everybody is damn Cylon cause I see no other logical explanation if someone can give me one...you may fire when ready Grizzly

There is not really any other logic for humans having gods who are actually cylons and who find out where the earth is - not humans but cylons. The human "bible" also quotes cylon prophecy, the old cylon ship tells humans about "this has happend before" and also Kara talking to another ships "mind" who tells her of the future "harbinger of death". Dr balthar having a virtual cylon in his consciousness and vice versa.

"When we shot the actual suicide scene, Kandyse McClure hummed a little song as she undressed and put her jewelry away for the last time. It wasn’t scripted or anticipated, but it was haunting and perfect for the moment. A lullaby before the big sleep. I called our composer, Bear McCreary, from the set and talked to him about it. It became a theme in his score—woven into the fabric of the music in the Dualla scenes leading up to the moment, and even after, as Lee contemplates her body in the morgue." - "Sometimes a Great Notion" director Michael Nankin

According to interviews the humming was not planned. It was all improv.

This same theory bounced around in my head after watching the final episode last season and the first of this season, and so I'm glad to see others feel the same way! In terms of Dualla, I'm sure she was having a Cylon memory when she found and kept those jacks.

Man! My original theory was that Doc Cottle was the final Cylon. However, it always bugged me that Tigh was a Cylon...How can that be?

After watching tonight's episode I became convinced that EVERYON WAS A FRACKIN' CYLON!!!

Oh...The Dualla Thing...She HUMMED. The Final Four HUMMED as well. Programming? Was she programmed to do that?

LOL...After the show I wrote a blog about my thoughts and then did a web search and came across this blog.

Well, you beat me to this conclusion!

Everybody is a Cylon

One of the prime theories I advance in my backstory is the idea that everybody in the show is a Cylon, which is to say an artificial being, rather than a natural Earth human. That the colonials are AIs programmed to think they are human. This idea is not directly supported in the show, but there are a few items which point to it. In addition it’s a very interesting idea.

The most compelling clue within the show is the tremendous similarity between the Cylons and the “humans.” They are way too similar, particularly the final five. So similar that the humans can’t tell the difference with microscopes or medical scanners. In theory Baltar’s scanner can spot the difference in 11 hours, but we don’t learn much more about that. They are similar enough to interbreed, something that is used as part of the definition, in biology, of being closely related. Yet even though medical scanners can’t tell the difference, the Cylons have an FTL transmitter that can send out the contents of their mind when they die, and fiber optic interfaces in their arms. They can communicate at high data rates with their ships by touching an underwater interface. They have superior strength and resistance to radiation but are more subject to certain kinds. They can receive VR “projections” directly into their minds.

These differences are just too much to be undetectable to advanced medical equipment. A far simpler explanation is that there simply is no major difference — all the players are Cylons. The “humans” however have never seen anything else, and also may have programming which blinds them to the artificial elements of their own nature.
