Entertainment Weekly article

Entertainment Weekly #973 has an article that can be used for the speculation.

Refering to no. 10 of this article, all persons on the picture are either humans or cylons - The last cylon is not on the picture; its seat is empty. --Akagi 20:27, 5 January 2008 (CST)

Interesting. Perhaps in light of this (however slight) evidence to the contrary, the paragraph beginning "In terms of narrative, to prevent an anti-climax..." should be removed. It's too speculative; there are many ways to make the reveal dramatic.--Hylas 22:38, 7 January 2008 (CST)

Okay, that leaves Cottle, Dualla, Gaeta, Hot Dog, Racetrack, Seelix and Zarek. -- Gordon Ecker 00:26, 8 January 2008 (CST)

And Cally.--OrionFour 00:49, 8 January 2008 (CST)

Only if Nicholas Tyrol being half Cylon was a half-truth like Kara Thrace getting killed off. -- Gordon Ecker 01:28, 8 January 2008 (CST)

It could also be something entirely out of left field, like a dead character or a previously unseen character. It's impossible to predict what the writers have planned.--Hylas 13:22, 8 January 2008 (CST)

RDM does not come out and say this, he just comments that the magazine is clever to notice that. Since "who is the final Cylon" is one of the big mysteries of the show, if not the big mystery of the show, I think it's safe to say that as he did with Starbuck's "death" that RDM has no problem lying or equivocating when asked point blank questions on the matter, or even if not asked them.--Bradtem 19:05, 10 January 2008 (CST)

I definitely concur with Brad here. RDM's comments are in keeping with how he deals with these sort of revelations being unveiled before the episode airs. He was particularly protective and misleading in his DS9 days as well, which is something that most people tend to forget. Regardless, I'm happy that Aaron Douglas pretty much knocked the wings out of the whole EW picture speculation. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 19:36, 10 January 2008 (CST)
