Last Supper, Last Cylon...

So much has been made of this image which appeared earlier this year in Entertainment Weekly. According to Ronald D. Moore, it apparently contains DaVinci Code-style clues as to what to expect in Season 4. Yet somehow, I have yet to hear a reasonable analysis. So, for your benefit, allow me to make certain observations...

• Let's start on the left. Laura Roslyn appears to be burning something, in what looks like a ceremonial dish. I assume this is a reference to her role as a prophet, as well as her returned cancer. Moore has hinted that Roslyn's impending death will be a major plot point in the coming season. I would guess that her cancer treatment, and hallucinations from kumalla extract will also come to the forefront. If last season's finale is any indication, we will get more scenes in the Cylon opera house from Roslyn, and her connection to the Cylons will be further explored.
• Next is Natalie, the new clone of Number Six. We've yet to meet her yet, but from the look of things she's accusing the Red Six of something. My wager? She's part of the new anti-war movement brewing within the Cylon ranks. We know a Civil War, somehow tied to the revival of Number 3/Diana Biers, is brewing. Natalie is the leader of one faction.
• Tigh has a closed manual of some kind in front of him. I assume that means we'll see him delinquent in his duties. He's also looking at someone, but given that he only has one eye, which we cannot see, it's hard to tell who. It may be Apollo...heaven knows they have little affection for one another.
• The empty place...the most intriguing thing -not- in this photo. Allegedly, this is a reference to the final Cylon. In Christian myth, it's said that at the actual Last Supper, Jesus sat at an empty place at the table which, according to Jewish tradition, was always kept empty for the Messiah-yet-to-arrive. Jesus sitting in the spot signaled his divinity to his followers. More on the ramifications of this, as well as that silver cup, in a moment...
• Lee is not in his flight uniform, and a clip board sits before him. I take this as an indication he will not return to flight duty, and will probably end up in a key role of the Roslyn administration. A new VP, perhaps?
• Baltar, sporting a ceremonial robe, sits in awe of Red Six. With his new role as some kind of religious leader, my guess is the Inner Six will be returning, giving Baltar instructions on how to control and manipulate his followers.
• Red Six basks in heavenly light, eyes turned to above. As if the dress weren't enough, this confirms that this is Baltar's Inner Six, receiving instructions from the Cylon God.
• Starbuck rests in the arms of Anders, but her body language reveals tension and discomfort, eyes to a book on the table. I predict Sam reveals his status as one of the final five to Kara, and her love for him prevents her tattling to Adama and Roslyn. That said, she's afraid of her husband, and what their relationship might mean. Don't ask me about the book...I've no idea what it means.
• Tyroll wields a knife, possibly indicating suicidal thoughts, or even thoughts of murdering baby Nicky.
• Athena and Helo seek comfort with each other, and her hand is extended toward Adama. They appear to look at Red Six, suggesting that Athena's link to the Cylons might give them clues as to the Cylon God's plan, and Six's connection to Baltar. The open book and her extended hand indicates their allegiance to Adama and the fleet. I would further this assumption--I'm betting that Athena acts as a spy once again.
• And finally, Adama. He's looking away from the entire group, at something off camera. What exactly? Too early to know, but I'm guessing some kind of new threat.

But what about that silver goblet? And who's the final Cylon? Apparently nobody in the photo...which doesn't narrow the field all that much. The goblet suggests the Holy Grail to me...the magical cup which brought eternal life. As I mentioned before, the empty spot could indicate that the final Cylon is some kind of messianic figure, meant for self-sacrifice to rescue humanity. But will is the final Cylon a boon to humanity, or to the other Cylons? And WHO IS IT?! Dualla? Gaeta? Doc Coddle? BOXEY?

My prediction: none of the above. If this photo suggests the final Cylon has messianic qualities, and with resurrection a theme throughout the series, I can only suggest one character: Kendra Shaw. Yes, the heroine of the RAZOR telefilm, who proves pivotal to the ongoing action of the series. Considering the ramblings of the Hybrid, indicating that the Final Cylon will only meet with salvation through great suffering, and his indication that time repeats itself, I find no other logical choice.
