23 Apr 08 BSG Geekery: the Last Cylon

There’s a lot of interesting theorizing going on for Battlestar Galactica fans, including an interesting theory that “the Last Cylon” is in fact everyone in the fleet, and that the humanity we’ve been watching these past four seasons were descendants of Cylons outcast from Earth.

However, there’s a particularly good observation someone made about Entertainment Weekly’s “Last Supper” pic:

It’s reversed! The BSG Last Supper picture is reversed from the actual painting. SAM is in Judas’ spot! The giveaway is the knife that Tyrol is holding. In the painting Peter is holding the knife and is on the left side of the table, but here he is on the left. This puts Sam as Judas and Kara as John. This also means the missing of the 12 appears to be Philip. Keep in mind the painting depicted the reaction of the 12 to Jesus saying one will betray him, much is the same for the picture. This makes complete sense, as Philip is ALWAYS listed FIFTH among the apostles! The question is, of course, who does Philip relate to as a BSG character..
