* Barnabas will end up as Number Two. At first, [[{{Nivenus}} This Troper]] thought he'd make a good One (they're both kind of psychotic) but on the other hand, like Clarice he appears to be devoutly religious (albeit in a much scarier way). Plus, Two's interactions with Starbuck always had, alongside the obvious FoeYay, a bit of TooKinkyToTorture (seriously, he seemed to get a kick out of Starbuck beating him up) and Barnabas' introduction features him wrapping a freaking chain around his own arm in a way that seems more than vaguely masochistic.

The fact that they cancelled ''Caprica'' in favor of ''Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome'', and then canceled that before it could take off as a series shows exactly how little SyFy cares about quality of a show and just treats them only as temporary money makers.

Possibly {{Jossed}} by speculation a template of Three might appear in ''{{Caprica}}'' but [[{{Nivenus}} This Troper]] thinks this idea is funner.

[[WMG: Zoe was always a Cylon]]
Zoe is basically a ChocolateBaby, in that she really doesn't resemble either of her parents. A [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Messenger]] took interest in her at an early age. She was by far the greatest computer programmer in the Twelve Colonies, something that seems to stem from her Messenger's guidance rather than having attracted it. "God" may have intervened to cause Amanda to give birth to an organic Cylon, specifically to set the cycle in motion. After 2,000 years since the settlement of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, the humans had failed to recreate Cylon technology. So "God" sends Zoe as the daughter of promising scientist-industrialist Daniel Graystone, who frequently "borrows" ideas from his daughter, who is herself working on designing artificial intelligence under the guidance of her Messenger. This might account for how Zoe was able to share experiences from the real world with her avatar in V-World - a variation of Cylon projection.

[[WMG: Most of the original avatars get deleted when V-World is taken offline]]
The absence of characters like Zoe and Tamara from BSG is easily explainable when one considers that sooner or later the Colonies would have to pull the plug on V-World, as in literally shut down the servers, when the problem of Cylon infiltration became apparent. Without V-World, there could be no bouncing back and forth of consciousness between Cylon bodies and online backups. This could leave the Cylons feeling slightly desperate when Final Five finally arrive from Earth with their Resurrection technology, which was even better than Zoe's avatar program. The reason the Models all resembled each other personality-wise was because a variation of the old avatar software was used to create duplicate personalities, just as the Models were duplicate bodies. Since the humanoid Cylons of Earth had long since taken to biologically procreating, they might have had the technology to transfer minds, but not to assemble them from stray data. Since by that point they were working off the existing Centurion A.I.'s, rather than creating virtual copies of what was probably the now-defunct Soldiers of the One, they had more uniformity and less variety. At least until some had lived/resurrected enough to become more individualized.

*** It seems like it should be the other way around. The Ones have a habit of tending to disregard inconvenient things that get in the way and even to cross lines that shouldn't really be crossed, which Daniel has done in-'verse (seriously, who tries to purposely expose their child to the kid's worst fears?). Joseph's tendency to develop a conscience about the whole notion of "resurrection" within V-world is rather un-"One"-like.

** As Caprica progressed, we were supposed to see more of a rivalry between Daniel Graystone and Joseph Adama. If Seven was based on Daniel Graystone, then One might have been based on Joseph Adama, because we know that One hated Seven.

They have the [[OneSteveLimit same name]]. It would also make sense that one of the people responsible for their creation would have a model based on him.

** Isn't it established that Bill Adama was in school when the war started and didn't become a pilot untill near the end. Given the war ended ''40'' years before the Fall, Adama was born 57 years before (according to Battlestar Wiki) and we don't have a solid start date, it's still plausible that he served in the war by the age of 17. It would depend entirely on school leaving age and recruitment/conscription age in the Colonies, but the plausibility remains.
