The 5th Cylon is Voltron-esque Hera Agathon & Nick Tyrol


There are two half-cylon/half-human babies: Hera Agathon and Nicholas Tyrol. In a move that would surely remind us of Voltron, Hera and Nick transform and combine to become the 5th Cylon. For those of you 23 and under, Voltron is like the Power Rangers robot, only way f'ing tougher.

Why it works:
We all know that the human/cylon babies are very important to the Cylons. Throughout the entire series we've seen episodes that detail visions by Caprica-Six, Gaius Baltar, Laura Roslin and Sharon "Athena" Agathon with Hera. Many of the visions predict that Caprica-Six and Baltar will raise Hera. Could it be that the one thing we haven't seen in the visions is Hera and Nicholas becoming a single, Voltron-like being that turns out to be the final 5th Cylon?

In addition, the Cylons were having a hard time procreating amonst each other, right? They believed that the missing ingredient was love. The Cylons have said the "God is love." Now, Athena and Helo as well as Chief and Cally(RIP) successfully mated and produced children. Perhaps the two babies will merge into a single, Voltron-esque entity and become the final 5th Cylon. And maybe, just maybe, that final Cylon will be the Cylon God?

Why it doesn't work:
Well, having two babies tranform into a single human/cylon Voltron-esque baby is just plain stupid. While I'd love for there to be some kind of Voltron reference in BSG, I think this would be taking it too far.

Also, I've had a few too many glasses of vino and I'm, more or less, drunk. So, you know, take this post with a grain of salt.

Odds I'm right:

Do you have an analogy for those age 35 and over?
