The Five Priests of the One Whose Name Cannot Be Spoken

posted by:ouiouiwewe

So, we have now been familiarized with 3 of the 5 priests (Anders still hadn't had too much screen time). It seems as if each of them are slowly working down towards different paths and one has already found a way to God. Considering the nature of the Final 5 and what we've witnessed, it appears as if each of them will be finding a different purpose in bowing down to God:

Tory - Worship on the basis of perfection
Tyrol - Worship on the basis of bitterness
Tigh - Worship on the basis of penance

If we are to extrapolate this to Anders (who has not diverged greatly from his original nature) and Lee (who is a likely candidate as a final five), then we have:

Anders - Worship on the basis of love
Lee - Worship on the basis of idealism (also applies to Gaeta)


Interesting naming for the priests or the Final Five. This works with the Lee being the 5th. I like this theory, but I can't get around Kara being the Fifth and Baltar being the one that cannot be named; it seems fitting for his character. We'll have to see!
