Cylon Blood, Kara's Mom and the Adama's

Yet Another Frakking Theory!

First I have to say that this is my first post and the first time a talk about a TV series on a forum. I like Sci-Fi, but BSG made me addicted to this new concept of Sci-Fi genre and the entire plot is so interesting that I can't stop thinking about it.

I was heavily influenced by the first Kara's mother theory, but since I'm going a little bit deeper in my speculation I decided to create a new thread, giving the proper credit to cdccarter, who opened my eyes to this character.

The Theory

The last cylon is Kara's mother (Hera), which is the cylon version of Bill Adama's (Zeus) sister. Joseph Adama is the cylon God.

The Clues

1) "...the fruit born of two peoples is alive. A child named after the wife and sister of the all-knowing Zeus." - from Exodus Part I.

2) "Soon there will be four, glorious in awakening. Struggling with the knowledge of their true selves. The pain of revelation bringing new clarity. And in the midst of confusion, he will find her, enemies brought together by impossible longing, enemies now joined as one." - from "Razor".

3) "And the fifth, still in shadow, will claw toward the light, hungering for redemption that will only come in the howl of terrible suffering." - from "Razor".

4) "The seven, now six, self-described machines, who believe themselveswithout sin. But in time, it is sin that will consume them. They will know enmity, bitterness, the wrenching agony of the one splintering into the many." - from "Razor".

5) "And then they will join the promised land, gathered on the wingsof an angel." - from "Razor"

6)"Five final Cylon models. Five healers of the temple. For the five priests devoted to the one whose name cannot be spoken." - from "Taking A Break From All Your Worries"

7)"You are the guardian and protector of the new generation of God's children." - from Kobol's Last Gleaming Part 2

The Hipothesis

As we know, in Caprica spin-off, Joseph Adama will team up with a computer engineer to create robots with the memory of their daughters, killed by a terrorist bombing. I think Joseph Adama has gone a little bit further than his partner, creating a cylon version of his daughter using her DNA. So his is considered as God by her, since he is her creator and biological father. This could be the origin of cylon's monotheistic religion.

While the first quote refers to Athena/Agathon baby, it is actually a clue about the incestuous relationship between Hera and Zeus - Kara's mother and Bill Adama. Kara's mother was on military duty at the same time as Adama and they are from the same generation.

So I think they had an affair and Kara was the result of their forbidden love. Self-aware of her cylon nature and origin, she kept this secret to herself, until she "claw toward the light, hungering for redemption" with the revelation of the entire plot.

She also knew her daughter Kara have a prophecy role to fulfill as the first one of the "new generation of God's children" and tried to prepare her to this moment.

So Kara will unite cylons and humans and "they will join the promised land, gathered on the wings of an angel". Obviously that the "the wings" refer to her viper, but her true nature after dying and reappearing could be also explained by her origin and the role of "Gaius counterpart" of her generation as "the guardian and protector of the new generation of God's children".

Kara's mother never told Bill Adama she was his sister, because of their forbidden love, which will result in a "howl of terrible suffering" due to the recurring incestuous relationships in the family.

The redemption is family forgiveness, specially from Kara and Lee, since the affair caused a lot of pain on both families. This is supported by behavior of Kara's and Lee's mothers, who discharged a lot of anger over them.

This could also explain the odd relationship between Kara and Lee. They love each other, but they struggle not to be with each other because deep inside they know is not right. So Kara marriage Anders just after her brief relationship with Lee.

The "Final Five" are not only cylons, they are different. They are descendants of the five priests that worshiped the "the one whose name cannot be spoken". We already know that in the Caprica series, Adama's father uses "Adams" as alias because of a unknown reason. So the name Adama "cannot be spoken". The "Final Five" is a lineage of descendants of the first cylon of Kobol's 13th Tribe, which is from the same genetic pool of Adama's family.

So "the one splintering into the many" could be the first cylon DNA from Kobol 13th Tribe, which is the origin of all others, including the "Final Five". Since this DNA is originally from a human, as the new cylons are, humans and cylons realize they came from the same genetic pool and are actually just different reproduction stages of the same species. As defined in biology, a species can only be distinguished from another when the offspring between them are not fertile. The cylons creation is the asexual part of the sexual/asexual life cycle of humans, which may or may not involve a hybrid stage.

"The pain of revelation bringing new clarity...enemies brought together by impossible longing, enemies now joined as one."

I did not formulated a theory about the Earth colonization and the Exodus of Kobol, but due to the recurring nature of the prophecy I believe colonization/exodus and war/peace are in constant loop, with "The pain of revelation" being the turning point of each cycle.

What do you think about this?
