- sjbdallas, on 12/01/2008, -0/+54I'm not sure why there's so much interest in the fifth cylon. Isn't it more important to know what the heck happened to Earth and the whole history of cylons and humans? Yeah, it was kind of a neat chock to see who was actually a cylon when we found out last season but what difference does one more really make? Since they didn't know they were cylons it's not like they were manipulating everything -- they're all still just trying to get to earth.
- acegi, on 12/01/2008, -0/+40who knows, everyone could be a cylon and they just happen to have been programmed to reenact the grand voyage over and over.
- seantubridy, on 12/01/2008, -3/+43The final Cylon is... YOU!
- AmyVernon, on 11/30/2008, -0/+36I honestly would be disappointed with any of those five on the list, but I think the writer on i09 is absolutely correct — there is no one the producers can choose who will please everyone. So, despite what I said at the start of this comment, I am trying to not be disappointed with any of the selections. I think that however it's presented, the story and reasoning will be excellently told.
- seantubridy, on 12/01/2008, -2/+31It's Bill Adama. He went into that Cylon factory where they were building the human models when he was a young pilot and never came out. His Cylon counterpart did.
- deadapostle, on 12/01/2008, -0/+27I totally hope it's going to be "Prisoner number 3" from the episode with the prison ship. Man, that would piss everyone off. Some random nobody character from one of the weaker episodes.
- thegrizz51, on 12/01/2008, -4/+23I hate that it feels like the writers are making it up as they go. I mean, how the hell could Tigh be a Cylon in the first place?! He is over 40 years old, and that's when the toaster-style Cylons were still running around and they hadn't created the skinjobs yet! The show could have gone on forever revealing minor characters to be Cylons, but instead they had to make a huge drama by revealing important characters as Cylons.
By the way, since all Cylons are clones, they shouldn't have belly buttons. That has always bothered me!!!!
I'm just sayin'!!!!! - Depthfunction, on 12/01/2008, -3/+21And as usual, you'll lose.
- ciphex, on 12/01/2008, -0/+17Dualla is fu-king h-o-t.
- MacSuxWindozSux, on 12/01/2008, -10/+26As usual I'm putting my money on Ron Paul!
- mercaz, on 11/30/2008, -3/+19This list = fail. It's Dualla. Think about it.
- h0ser, on 12/01/2008, -1/+15I thought it'd be Tom Zarik. Since the actor himself was in the previous battlestar galactica, it'd be an ironic twist to the "all this has happened before and will happen again" play
- grizwald, on 12/01/2008, -0/+12Well if this is true, then it must be either Ellen Tigh, Cally Tyrol, or Felix Gaeta.
Since they are the only 3 not pictured in the "Last Supper" - asgardshill, on 12/01/2008, -0/+12I'm still holding out hope that the final Cylon winds up being the toaster in the Galactica's galley.
- Jambi, on 12/01/2008, -0/+11"Think about it: How else could she manage to die and then get brought back without so much as a scratch?"
Because the writers from "Heroes" came on to help out for a few episodes while the real writers were on vacation. - solistus, on 12/01/2008, -0/+11As for Tigh's age, Moore has been asked about this and says it was intentional and considered. It's even referenced in the show at one point, regarding how long Tigh has known Adama. Hopefully, the conclusion of Season Four will cast some light on the history of the FF. They seem much more 'human' overall than other Cylons - they age, for one thing, whereas all other Cylons seem not to.
As for belly buttons, they're not ordinary clones; they're replicas. It's never really been clear how human they are physically, but they are definitely stronger and have various abilities humans do not. At any rate, we _do_ know they are designed to be able to hide amongst humans, so naturally they would have replicas of all human features. - MCA2142, on 12/01/2008, -0/+10Time Magazine, is that you?
- phalanxcronos, on 12/01/2008, -0/+9I think its going to be Zak Adama...the supposed dead son.
- Skooma714, on 12/01/2008, -1/+10It's either Adama's Mustache or Romo Lampkin's Cat.
- inactive, on 12/01/2008, -0/+8and they all live inside an intergalactic wildlife reserve.....
What a twist! - ledwyn, on 12/01/2008, -0/+8Or the first person to be killed in the mini-series that started it all.....
- MacEnvy, on 12/01/2008, -0/+8"Obama followers are the Raiders fans of politics."
Untrue. Obama actually won. - shamess, on 11/30/2008, -0/+8It's totally true. I honestly can't think of anyone that I want to be the fifth. I'm sure I'll be in shock and awe when I find out, but I can't think of anyone at the moment that could blow my mind.
- Stemnin, on 12/01/2008, -0/+7What the frak is going on here?
- Skooma714, on 12/01/2008, -1/+8Welcome to Battlestar Galactica forum!
- GreatSunJester, on 12/01/2008, -0/+7On that note -- I had a sudden image of Adama pacing in his cabin, stopping to look at the wall and saying, You smug bastard..."
And the ship responds with, "took you long enough" - Daiken, on 12/01/2008, -3/+9Final Cylon = the doctor
- vurdillac, on 12/01/2008, -0/+6I could go for the idea of it being one of the dead characters. However the final five are able to resurrect, they do it on the bombed-out Earth, so expect one of them to come walking up to the gang as the sole member of the welcoming committee. I still think Ellen Tigh - it would resolve that story nicely.
- aerospacemonkey, on 12/01/2008, -1/+7C'mon, it's Starbuck!
Think about it: How else could she manage to die and then get brought back without so much as a scratch?
I don't care if RDM said it's not her, he's just trying to get people to talk about it during the episode gap, which they are. - elrac, on 12/01/2008, -0/+6I would agree with you if she had had more then three lines last season.
- solistus, on 12/01/2008, -0/+5What is RDM is just pulling our leg with the Last Supper thing and it's actually one of those characters?
- Jambi, on 12/01/2008, -1/+6You seem to have a shaky grasp of how Botox works... it doesn't affect bones, silly.
- InfernoX, on 12/01/2008, -0/+5The final cylon has to be someone that isn't in the fleet and didn't die from the time Diana was boxed and the time to when she arrived back at the fleet because Diana explicitly says there's four in the fleet and there's no way she would know who had died and who hadn't within that time period. Now, I think that the final cylon that we don't know about is the white figure from the eye of jupiter incident ( Episode name: Rapture I think) where Diana says "I'm sorry I didn't know" explicitly to a single member of the final five. I'm thinking it's someone that Diana personally did something to that she felt she had to apologize for upon seeing the final five.
Anyway, I'm excited for the season to wrap up ( I ***** hate 6 month long breaks in the middle of the season) but I think this article is correct in pointing out that all of those choices are horrible and that the reveal of the final cylon will never live up to expectations. - IphtashuFitz, on 12/01/2008, -0/+5While I'm very interested in learning the true identity of the final Cylon I'm much more interested in how the remaining story overall will play out. They found Earth, but the short image we saw of it shows what appears to be a wasteland. What happened? Where are all Earths inhabitants? How will the differences between the Colonials & the Cylons be resolved?
- thegrizz51, on 12/01/2008, -0/+4I'd vote for a Cylon as president. At least his health won't be a concern!
- Jaxim, on 12/01/2008, -0/+4My vote would be for Dirk Benedict, the original actor who played Starbuck.
- phillykid162, on 12/01/2008, -0/+4I was betting it was tigh she apologized to, for torturing him back in New Caprica.
- Changa, on 12/01/2008, -0/+4The final cylon is scruffy the janitor.
- inactive, on 12/01/2008, -0/+4It's Lee's dead brother.
- inactive, on 12/01/2008, -0/+4As played by Tom Baker.
- hfactor, on 12/01/2008, -0/+4Don't call other people stupid if you don't know the difference between "definitely" and "defiantly". They don't even sound alike.
- jmpeagle, on 12/01/2008, -0/+4i hope it's the crazy black prophecy priestess. She's the one that convinced them to go this route by way of convincing the president. She seems like an ideal candidate.
- Skooma714, on 12/01/2008, -1/+5Dual-la.
Dual, as in dual lives o_O.
Then again analysing the others name like that brings up nothing. - MCA2142, on 12/01/2008, -1/+5Just like what the Architect said in the matrix reloaded?
- InfernoX, on 12/01/2008, -0/+3That might save the plot for me, it feels like they won't be able to tie up all the loose ends in only the 10(?) or so episodes they have left. Why is Earth *****? What is Starbucks destiny? Why are the final five so different from the cylons? etc
- MCA2142, on 12/01/2008, -1/+4I remember Leoben whispering to Roslin in one episode that Adama is a cylon, before he was flushed out of the airlock. Turns out, when Dualla married Apollo, she too became an Adama.
Makes sense. - IphtashuFitz, on 12/01/2008, -0/+3Good point. I'd completely forgotten about that image and the claim that the final cylon isn't shown there.
FYI: http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20169703,00.html - rowjimmy, on 12/01/2008, -0/+3definitely. something like, the original skin-job cylons (who are like the final 5) seeded the galaxy and started "human" civilizations. eventually, these human civilizations created toaster-like cylons, and then finally "new-model" skin-jobs. so they go searching for their destiny, fleeing from their creations, only to find that they are themselves what they have been running from, blah blah blah.
- aristideau, on 12/02/2008, -0/+3Geek fail
- britblogger, on 12/01/2008, -1/+4I think it's Bill Adama's porn 'stache.
