I finally watched Friday's "Battlestar Galactica" and so am finally caught up now. I want to hear who you think is the final Cylon and why. If you haven't seen it yet, DON'T PEEK into this convo as I'm sure there will be spoilers.

I know who I think it is, but I want to know who you suspect is the remaining Cylon model. Also, Cylon civil war... wtf? And as if that's not enough, now there are TWO hybrid kiddos. Unless, of course, Callie is also Cylon, in which case, WTF?!?!
My bet is on Roslin. Her visions and her connection to Six and Seven over Hera, and her adamant refusal to listen to Starbuck's explanation. Both Starbuck and Gaius are too obvious, I feel.
@ Triangles: Wasn't Roslin given Cylon blood to cruel her cancer? So why would they give her Cylon blood to cruel it if wasn't a Cylon already? Plus she is still diyng of cancer right now?
The Fifth Cylon is not who we may think it is. Its someone that's dug deep in everyones minds but we do not pay attention too very much. Say for instance Felix Gaeta, Anastasia Dualla. But its anyone guess....
Starbuck and Gaius are way too obvious. I expect better from those writers.
My money is on The Oracle.
My only beef with the Roslin-is-the-final-Cylon theory is that she's been under the microscope, medically, since day one.
I really don't know who the final Cylon is, though. But the fact that Tigh is a toaster (even though he's been a friend of Adama's for decades) kind of makes it possible that ANYONE is the final Cylon. I still don't understand how he can be a skinjob when he's old enough to have fought in the original Cylon war.
Felix Gaeta was someone I suspected but also thought about Anastasia Dualla given her background (Sagittaron is portrayed as poor colony, oppressed, etc.).
You know who we haven't seen in a long time? Zarek. He'd be a perfect Cylon if it wasn't for the fact that he was barely visible last season and hasn't shown up yet this season.
@centropomus: Yes, that I realize. But it would mean that either a) the Cylons had skinjobs forty years ago or b) the REAL Saul Tigh was replaced.
I think it's EVERYONE!! I'm serious. I read a lot of science fiction and I watch a lot of TV drama so I am an authoritative source on what would be an AWESOME PLOT TWIST.
According to the "Caprica" spoilers the original Cylons had capacity for downloaded human memories/personalities, which is just about the only way Tigh can make sense as a Cylon. In his back story (it's in the podcasts; I forget if it was discussed much on-screen)from the first war, he had freakishly sole(saul)-survived multiple ships destroyed ala "Valley of Darkness"-style Centurion boarding parties. Perfect opportunity for a replacement job.
Zarek would be a great #5.
@CM: Zarek is my guess. His no show so far makes me worried though. Plus he played Starbuck in the original series and that'd be funny.
WTF? podcasts? huh? no, the series should stand alone... I do not count that shit.
Agreed LoverBoy and CoffeeVender are too obvious... I'm gonna say it'll be Scott Bakula who will "leap in" during the last episode.
The plot thickens... I watched last night's ep and now I'm confused. But I was right all along--Tory is a total bitch. As they say, "HATE her, wouldn't DATE her...." (btw, who got that reference?)
@nadir: I wouldn't have thought of that, but it makes sense since he's the person who screens people to see if they are Cylon or human.

It has to be Tori. I just know it.
