... among the Cylons for a long stretch of episodes. (Remember that scene on New Caprica with the seven known models voting on how to deal with their captive humans? Weren’t we all wondering why the other five Cylon models weren’t getting a say? In fact, aren’t we still wondering?) * Moore also confirms that the disappointing condition in which Earth is found precipitates Dualla’s suicide.

Battlestar Galactica - Sometimes a Great Notion
Addicted To TV - Television News and Reviews —
... it seems Ellen Tigh is the final cylon. This for me is cool as her miraculous reappearance on Galactica did suggest something funny was going on there (as well as other tells, that perhaps at the time weren’t even meant in that way). The thing is though a lot of folks are suggesting Ellen Tigh is just a red herring. You can never tell on this show until Ron D Moore sets thing straight, which he did here. Ellen IS the final cylon. I was coming around to my theory that Anastacia “Dee” Dualla was actually the fifth, so when she blew her ...

'BSG' Comes Back With a Vengeance
MSN TV Blog —
... - Ellen Tigh is the final of the Final Five Cylons! I can't believe they dropped that bombshell this early in the final run of episodes. Nor would I believe that Tigh's memory of Ellen being the final model were true if it weren't confirmed here. I was under the impression that the final Cylon was either Lt. Gaeta (because Tigh, Tyrol and Anders were all big human resistance fighters, and Gaeta was the other big member of the Resistance on New Caprica) or Dee/Zack/Adama's wife (because Leoben had said that "Adama was a Cylon"). ...
Frakkin’ Clack - The final Cylon and more premiere talk
CliqueClack TV —
... There’s a great, revealing interview and write-up over on the Chicago Tribune about the decisions leading to what happened in this episode, most particularly the choosing of Ellen as the final Cylon. I’m definitely not disappointed that it’s Ellen (I was told by a reliable source who it was long ago), and I can see where the story might be leading with that revelation. I’ve thought since the last episode, last year, that finding out who the final Cylon is was no longer important. The central theme now is where will everyone go, now that they’ve ...

BSG's Ron Moore on, you know, that whole fifth Cylon thing. (The Watcher/photo by Paul Sanchez Yates) Q: Why Ellen? A: There’s a certain logic to it. I sort of figured out early on that I liked the pairing of her and Tigh. [I liked] that there was something deeper to their marriage and deeper to their relationship, that it was literally a relationship that had transcended time and space, that it was very ancient that had gone on for a very long time. It was something that was [mentioned] in the pilot for “Galactica.” ...

... Ron Moore and the writers are also giving incredibly in-depth interviews with Maureen Ryan at the Chicago Tribune. I’ve never seen a production team talk so openly about their creative process before the show is over. There is even an example of a first draft of a scene with a discussion on why it changed. I am hoping that these keep up through the end of the season (I think they will) they add so much to my understanding of the show and of the crazy, controlled chaos that is creating long arc television. ...
