Seconds Away
Battlestar Galactica is busting my nuts again. The final chapter is about to begin. I had a thought a while back about the identity of the final Cylon: The thing itself. Only you're never going to explain what I saw directly. Suffice it to say I know a thing or two about what's going on.
In the context of the operational dynamic there are two characters who you could argue represent the thing itself: The Admiral and The President. Imagine now that in a very real sense two distinct realities exist which pivot on the answer. Imagine too that you may choose which reality you'll ultimately find yourself in. All you have to do is back one or other of the candidates with nothing more than belief.
Who do you choose believe it to be and why?
I believe it's The President. For me it's an answer which reflects a certain dynamic I see operating around me. Highlighting a point that things are not what they appear.
