Greased goose

hazelkCurrent earworm is the nursery rhyme “Christmas is coming , the goose is getting fat.” Except that second line keeps sounding more like “time is running out.”
I wish there was more time to poke around on iMeem before the PTB sue and it vanishes like some beautiful dream. Or not. My connection is too slow to really watch whole streamed vids, it’s quicker to click through and download, but the place is incredibly browsable. I wish I had time to flesh out some half thoughts on classification systems based on history versus those based on content that a debate on whether slashy slideshows count as vids triggered. OK note to self, that could be a private entry.
I do have some speculation about who BSG’s final five might be and it will probably all be Jossed (Ronned?) tonight so ready or not here’s that at least:
Based on who we’ve seen in the temple, namely Gaius, her and the baby, I think Head!Six is one of the five, or all of them or at the very least an agent of them (because she’s an "Angel from God"). As far as Baltar being there goes I think he was just visiting because my gut feeling is that the whole “Is Gaius a Cylon,?” “Is Starbuck a Cylon?” “Is Gaeta a Cylon?” etc is all one big red herring. At least I hope so because, whoever it might turn out to be, the reveal would feel anti-climatic since the basic sleeper agent concept was done already with Sharon.
I think it would make more sense if the final five were different in kind from the seven we know and incorporeal would cover that. I’m slightly struck by the fact that while Head!Six and Head!Baltar and the woman Baltar knew on Caprica all seem to have quite similar personalities, Caprica completely lacks their cast iron certainty and comes across as positively self-effacing. Did the entity known as Head!Six infect the Six who seduced Baltar and then split into two during the blast? And all we ever see of the baby in the temple is its hand and hands have five fingers and Jupiter is the fifth planet and there are 12 models but if the numbering system started from –2 the missing five would be palindromic.
