This story contains MAJOR SPOILERS for the final episodes of "Battlestar Galactica."
Was Aaron Douglas pulling the legs of two radio personalities about the end of "Battlestar Galactica," or was he telling the truth?
Be warned before you keep reading, because a source says Douglas is right on with his information.
According to Ain't It Cool News, Douglas -- who plays Galen Tyrol on the SciFi Channel series -- said that fans don't have to wonder if the humans will ever have a chance to visit the Cylon homeworld. That's because they've already seen it.
"You did at the end of the middle of Season 4," Douglas told Cort and Fatboy on KUFO-FM. "Earth, in the scriptures, is the Cylon homeworld. Yeah, they say they found evidence, they found other people, and they're all Cylon. Or they found bones and stuff scattered all around, and they're Cylon."
The "Earth" found in the mid-season finale is actually what writers called "Earth 1," a source told Airlock Alpha. A catastrophic event happened that destroyed the planet, but the people of this Earth actually fled to a new homeworld, also called Earth, and the planet where all of us viewers are now standing on.
"What Aaron is trying to say is that the actual word for 'Earth' in the scriptures is 'Cylon,' and it reveals a lot about what we'll learn of the Final Five and their origins."
Last June, a source told Airlock Alpha that fans should be careful not to think they have the show all figured out by the final minute of the mid-season ender, saying that they should not "make assumptions."
"Not everything is always as it seems," the source said at the time.
In other spoiler reports, Airlock Alpha has previously reported that the identity of the final Cylon could come as early as the mid-season premiere, or the second episode, especially since it had originally been planned for the mid-season finale that aired last summer on SciFi Channel, but was bumped to a slightly later episode.
The final episodes will continue the Colonial fleet's search for Earth.
Of course, none of this has been officially confirmed by SciFi Channel or anyone in charge over at "Battlestar Galactica," so treat this like you would any rumor.
"Battlestar Galactica" returns in January on SciFi Channel.
