I always thought that the way D'eanna said that, she could have been talking to one of the people she was talking to... which would have meant Roslyn. BUT, there she is in the picture.

Anyone see "The DaVinci Code"? In it, they reveal "the blood of Christ" is as in "blood relative."

So check out the "holy grail" pic. The last of the five is a relative. It can't be someone new, like a new birth, so pregancy is out or else it'd be "the final four" all this time.

Ok, so let's go on the assumption that it's a relative of someone. Harken WAY back to when one of the cylons (forgot the name) told Roslin "Adama is a cylon". Can't be Zack, he's dead. Can't be Bill or Lee Adama, they're in the pic.

There's still an Adama left.

Anastasia Dualla. Remember, she was married to Lee and not divorced, just seperated. Why her? The name "Anastasia" is the feminine form of "Anastasius", which means "Resurection" in ancient Greek.

Discuss.

@BuffaloLake: That would be kind of awesome. I still kind of doubt it's someone who's "died" though.

What about the speculation that Boomer is the final cylon? This theory is supported by various elements of her character - she had a different vote in six of one and ended up on the opposite side of the civil war. Three also saw her after she was un-boxed! And boomer isn't in the last supper - Athena is! If the writers could make it would it would certainly be one hell of a satisfying reveal!

@SahanaJemagee: See below. I literally don't understand this reasoning at all... to the point where it feels like you're speaking a foreign language. If they revealed that two out of the 12 Cylon models were Grace Park, I would probably throw my TV, and my next-door-neighbor's TV, out the window. For my neighbor's sake, let's hope you're wrong! :)

Romo Lampkin -- he's manipulated a great deal of stuff since he's shown up and he's certainly scrabbling toward something. And it would make sense for him to be sitting beside Lawyer Lee.

First, let me write a disclaimer that obviously I am complete dork.

That being out of the way, I had a dream the other night that William Adama is the final cylon. And that he actually died before the series was over and he returned in the last episode.

Interestingly, I have never during my waking hours felt that Commander Adama was the final cylon. Nor did I think it would be a compelling storyline.

But in my dream, it was pretty compelling.

FWIW, I think Cally or Zak are the final cylon. I always thought Cottle was a cylon, but since that never happened, I just don't know how compelling it would be for him to be the final cylon.

I thought when she said four in the fleet that meant the fifth was already there....

The final Cylon is Summer Glau.

I disagree on the pilots. She had them hearded to the airlock and in fact did have one of them airlocked in front of the rest. She would not perform such and act of agression and disrespected against one of the Final Five.

I believe it was also said at the San Diego Comicon that the final cylon would not be someone who had a bit part.

@Motoki: Presumably she made sure the one who got spaced wasn't the final Cylon. She knows who it is, so she wouldn't have such a hard time protecting that person. She might have already sequestered him or her by that point, we don't know.

Whoever it is I hope he or she knew he was a Cylon all along. Planning and pulling strings behind the scenes to get both sides exactly where he wants them.

Im tired of all this sneaking around, "O my God, Im a Cylon" stuff. Bring back the baddies.

I can't help but think that anyone as the final cylon will be a disappointment. My only relief is that I heard the final episodes will not be concentrating on who the final cylon is, so maybe it won't lead up to it to heavily.

Also, the final cylon is boomer.

@Fishypu: I've seen the "final cylon is Boomer" theory before, and it literally does not make any sense to me. I almost mentioned it in this post, but I couldn't even understand it enough to explain it to others. Can you tell me how that would work?

@Charlie Jane Anders: I think the general idea is that Boomer and the rest of the 8's has been set up as a different kind of cylon all along, or at least a different acting cylon.

This is evidenced by Boomer being the only "sleeper agent" cylon we know of (i think), how she disagreed with the rest of the 8's about making peace with the humans, how the Athena 8 switched sides long ago and gave birth to a human/cylon, how the number 8 itself is out of order, and im sure theres more.

So I guess people say that Boomer is the final cylon maybe half joking, half because theyre sad Boomer was kind of pushed out of the spotlight early on, half because it makes as much sense as any other, and several other halves. I don't really know. I don't understand it either.

@Fishypu:

Boomer is a character that they built up so much in the first season and cast her off into the background when she had possibly one of the most interesting POV's in the show. Her character seemed to take such a dramatic turn and we never got to see much of it.

As for dead characters that may come back as cylons, I would add Billy Kekeiya.

Is it a bad thing that I've reached the point in this show and its series of ridiculously loooong hiatusii that I don't actually care anymore?

Just tell me the damn story!
