I know a few people in the VE watch Battlestar Galactica, so I wanted to see about other Opinions on who exactly the Final Fifth Humanoid Cylon Model would be.

So Far the Revealed Eleven are:
01: "Brother Cavil"
02: "Leoben Conoy"
03: "D'ana Biers" (Currently the Only "Boxed" Model)
04: "Simon"
05: "Aaron Doral"
06: Number Six, Caprica Six, "Shelly Godfrey", "Gina Inviere", "Natalie"
08: "Sharon", "Lt. Sharon 'Boomer' Valeii", "Lt. Sharon 'Athena' Agathon" (has "Human-Cylon Hybrid Child")
07, 09 - 11: (Four of the Final Five)
* Cheif Petty Officer Galen Tyrol (has Possible "Human-Cylon Hybrid Child")
* Colonel Saul Tigh
* Ensign Samuel Anders
* Tory Foster

The Question is... who is the Final Fifth Cylon?
I am hoping to get the views of other Vast Empire Members who watch BSG, on who they think it is.

From my own digging, there are only Eight Possible Characters who could be the Fifth. From who, only four of which would have any impact onto the story.
1. Lt. Felix Gaeta
2. Lt. Anastasia Dualla
3. Petty Officer 2nd Class Cally Tyrol
4. Vice President Tom Zarek
5. Dr. Cottle
6. Ensign Diana “Hardball” Seelix
7. Lt. Margret “Racetrack” Edmondson
8. Lt. Brendan “Hotdog” Costanza
(Bold are the Remaining Supporting Characters in the Series, Underlines is my pick for most likely.)

These Characters have Names and Stories, though the Supporting Characters of the Series have story-lines that could have a major impact on the series if they are revealed to be the final fifth cylon humanoid model.

To Support my pick of "Vice President Tom Zarek" as being the final fifth cylon, I look at this. One, Who would have the most impact out of those characters if revealed to be the 5th? Someone withing the Highest Reaches of the Government (either Military or Political). Seeing as President Laura Roslin is in the "Last Supper" Picture (which it has been said in multiple interviews, that any character in the picture Is NOT the 5th cylon) It could not be her. Alternatively, There are no Remaining High Ranking Military Officers who are not already revealed or in the picture above.

This Brings us back to the Political Government. Roslin is out, she is not a cylon, Her Aide "Tory Foster" was revealed to be a Final Five Cylon, so who does that live in the Highest Reaches of the Colonial Government? Vice President Tom Zarek. He has a History, as all the Final Fifth Cylons do, he was a "Political Activist" (a convicted Terrorist), along with a former member of the Quorum of Twelve. He has the History, the Character, the Impact to be the Final Fifth Cylon. Though the True Final Fifth has yet to be revealed.



Agree? Disagree? Have your Own Opinion that Completely Differs From anything I have said?

I personally disagree with all of those, because in the episode where D'ana sees the final five, when she looks at who i am assuming is the fifth one, she says "it's you. I'm sorry i didn't know".

In my opinion, none of the current four, or the possible final five's, would warrant that reaction from her. I'm guessing either Lee, The Admiral, Roslin, or Baltar. Starbuck too, but i have feeling that something entirely different is in store for her.

I have no idea what you're talking about with this "final supper" picture thing, but TV people have been known to lie to hide plot endings. (e.g. New series Dr. Who season 1 ending)

However, Cally being a cylon would make sense, because if she isn't then, then they also have a human-cylon hybrid child, which detracts from the significance of Hera.

5- 8 have too minor roles to warrant being Cylons in my opinion, but gaeta and dualla would be my choices from your list. Zarek....I'm not too sure...your reasons are quite sound...but i don't know...

I was thinking Cally perhaps, but since the Chief is already a Cylon, it didn't really make sense to make Cally into a Cylon as well.

I then decided perhaps it was Admiral Adama - but since the XO is already in the Final Five, that probably wouldn't be as dramatic.

Roslin, I don't think so. I don't know why the Cylons would create a Roslin, give her cancer, and help the humans find Earth.

My top three are Lee Adama, Kara Thrace (Starbuck), and Guias Baltar. Lee because it would make an awesome twist: the Admiral's son a Cylon. Kara Thrace because it could sort of tie into what each individual Cylon was designed for: Brother Cavil - the divine one, etc. Kara may be in a similar boat as being an "enlightened one" or something.

Guias Baltar was always on my mind though. He's been with a Cylon since the beginning, he sees Six in his mind all the time, he has an obvious connection with them (and they haven't killed him, despite the fact that he was on their ship).

It would be an interesting case though if Roslin was a Cylon, because that would somewhat make Kara the "woman that leads them to Earth" since she's the one with the vision and obvious know-how route to the planet they've been searching for.


That's my two cents anyway.

Concerning Starbuck, I'd like to see how the BSG writers explain how her Viper is in mint condition.

The same way she is in "mint condition".

Anyways, I do believe Romo Lampkin is coming back this season (as is D'Anna) I just have no idea when. I'm loving the season so far.

I really can't see them revealing a new character and making them the final cylon. That just seems ... cheap ... and lowballish after all this. If they do, it better be some "person" they find in some significant system/nebula or something (ie not someone in the fleet right now that we've never met).

And yes, Ibram ... I've seen Razor. Didn't quite watch it was "hard/closely" or enjoy it as much as the rest of the

I suppose tom, but then again i didn't think that the choices for the four of five were that great either.

Tigh and Tyrol fine, but Anders and Tory haven't been there since the beginning, and them turning out to be cylons seems a bit...random.

Its liked Anders said, "After the resistance, new caprica...for this!?" Just seems a bit weak.

Tory i can sort of understand, as i think billy's character quit to do something else, hence the need to bring Tory in. If billy had stayed then i assume he would have been the cylon.

I was just about to say there is Tigh;s wife, as it was never confirmed whether or not she was a cylon, but then she's dead now....possibly lol.

All this theorising makes my head hurt...

Definitely not Cally.

My money is on Baltar.

I was trying not to spoil it, but i guess any true fan would have watched the episode by now.

So Cally's down, and i don't think it can be Baltar due to the Last Supper photo.

Although I'll admit, I'm a little skeptical about it, as it has been openly criticized by Chief Tyrol's character, and whilst Moore has defended it, I wasn't too convinced.

I love the fact that Baltar saw the "vision" version himself that Caprica Six kept seeing...

Was Cally just trying to eject Nikolas, the hybrid or commit suicide herself as well? Either way, told ya it wasn't her, lol.

And Ibram, I agree ... Anders and Tory were random though as you said, Tory makes sense what with Billy's guy going off to do other stuff. Anders was gaining a bigger and bigger role in the series though. Leader of the resistance on Caprica, married to Starbuck, leader of resistance on New Caprica ... I wouldn't exactly call him random. (The resistance on New Caprica seems to be what ties the three new male cylons together in a way)

I have no problem with it being a character who's had limited screen time in the first three seasons (as long as we know them somewhat well). But if they introduce a brand new character in the fourth season and say "I'm the fifth cylon" ... I'm probably not going to like the decision.

A bit too minor if you ask me, and i can't see the significance of him being the final cylon.

I'm still counting on the final supper photo being slightly false, and that one of the majors is the final cylon...possibly Roslin. I doubt either of the Adama's are cylons, because if one is so must the other, but it would be a nice Irony...

But from C-3's list, im swinging towards Zarek too.

My money has always ben on Baltar turning out to be a Cylon.

But the Zarek idea makes sense. More sense tha Starbuck turning out to be it. Her being one would be just too much.

Remember Gates, the original seven models do not know the identity of the final five. They are programmed not too. There for it is perfectly possible for them to have accidentally fired upon fellow cylons.

Hmmm...I wouldn't go that far C. I'd simply say that the raiders recognised  Anders as a cylon, and refused to fire. Given the fact that their higher functions are pretty much limited right now, i doubt they have any concept of the "final five", instead, they simply distinguish between cylon and non-cylon.

You never know. A few episodes down the road, and you may see Cally on one of those spawn ships. :P That would result in the revealing of a pure Cylon child.
