Wee note

[lizardbeth]

So while I listen to my OH-SO-EXCITING recordings (and iTunes keeps wanting to import them - no thanks!), I've been working on my Shagathon fic a bit. Just kind of playing with the scenes.

And it really wants to turn in to the Really True Story of How Helo Ended up Mayor of Dogsville and Zarek was Nowhere to be Found.

Unfortunately this has nothing to do with my prompt. bah.

Also, Zarek=Final Cylon? Anybody taking odds on it? I'm thinking the odds are pretty good. He's my new Number One candidate (at least for today...) He sort of slips around the edges, and he's been around from the beginning, but I've noticed people often forget to put him on the list of candidates, probably because he wasn't around much in 3.5. I am now VERY suspicious of that absence. It's like Ron's waving a flag "look over here! Ooo, Kara could be the final cylon,what do yo think of that? Isn't it cool? But pay no attention to the Vice President over there; he's really not important at all." uh huh. And I keep thinking of that moment when Head!Six leans on Zarek and tells Baltar to pay attention to him...

I am NOT avoiding anything by randomly theorizing, what makes you think that? :)

(I really have to get off line, though-- I keep getting sucked in and distracted. Off I go to someplace without net access again...)

Zarak huh? I like your reasoning. My only objections are that I feel like they need another woman, so it would be 7/5 instead of 8/4; and that I don't know if the audience is as invested in him as some other characters who might make a bigger impact. But then, that might go in the plus column too, if they don't want to make any more important characters cylons.

You're making me want to do a speculation post. Arg! ;)

What are you getting re-certified for?

Wanking the final Cylon is one of my favorite activities. :D

I am holding firm on the theory that it's Roslin. (It's that part of the Hybrid's babbling about Redemption that will only come thru terrible suffering that puts me in mind of her cancer.)

I think Zarek WAS in the second half of the season, but almost all his scenes got cut because they related to the Sagittaron storyline which was axed. (In which, I believe, Zarek would have turned out to be the big bad. That's one of the many reasons why I'm glad that storyline was axed.)

Of course, RDM is a known liar. Didn't he say "Starbuck is dead" in the Maelstrom podcast? ;)

I hadn't considered Zarek much, but you might be right. It would be particularly interesting considering his terrorist past and considering the recent histories of at least three of the other final four.

I have been thinking about this question and I really think thats it's either Dee, or someone we totally never though of.

Is the actor that plays Zarek even under contact?

DVD is in the mail to you!

Zarek=Final cylon? It had never occurred to me, but now that you mention it the conspiracy theorist that lives in my head is sure you are right. *g*

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...

ok, the idea of Zarek -- played by the original Apollo, and did I ever explain how that 2nd episode scene of Zarek and Lee talking about the name Apollo nearly FRIED my BRAIN -- being the final cylon...
that's just too much for my neurons.
