Are you choking, yet?

They're all cylons.

The writers, that is. They're all still on strike. However, I saw this coming last year, far before the NYT article earlier this month. Why, you ask, did I know this? Trivial: Battlestar Galactica stunk for the second half of Season 3.

Marriage woes, labor unions, and racist doctors put the plot on hold after Baltar was recaptured on the algae planet. Without clear motivation, Kara Thrace goes crazy and flies into a planet. They mourn and then we discover all of the remaining cylons' identities. What can this final season hold in store? A conclusion of the plot line, perhaps. Tonight is the two-hour season opener. It will tell the story of the Pegasus, and hopefully reveal enough new characters to carry us through the season. The one thing we know is that nobody new is a cylon. Kind of takes the kick out of it all, doesn't it?
