[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 4145814, member: 20741"] You are assuming that these "Final Five" Cylons are actually "by your command" Cylons. I don't think they are. I think they are artificial humans - each of whom happens to thousands of years old. We know this. Saul Tigh is too old to be a Cylon of the present Cylon race. He was physically present within the Colonial Fleet before the Cylons evolved. That's RDM telling us: [I] they are not what you think they are.[/I] [I]"All of this has happened before - all of this will happen again". [/I] The Temple of the five - a four thousand year old temple was "accidentally" discovered by... one of the "Final Five" Cylons; the Chief. It was his freaking temple. There was no accident about that at all. The Final Five went active not dependent upon any event relating to the Cylons, but because of the location of the Galactica on the final leg to Earth. My bet - the "Final Five" are the Guardians of Earth. They are Cylons in the sense that they are artificial humans. But they are not of the same ilk as the present Cylons. They are a different breed entirely - and their purpose is very different. When the original Toasters were invented by man - all over again - they knew the cycle was coming back on replay - and the Guardians made their move to burrow within humanity and await their moment. I think they influenced the Cylon toasters as well, creating a place for themselves in the Cylons nascent "racial" identity. They built their own myth and then stepped back. The rest has all been one great manipulation and waiting for the inevitable. Every leading member of the resistance was one of the final five. The only piece missing from that matching dinnerware set is Roslin herself. (Or Gaeta, depending on. But he's just too obvious.) Could Roslin be one - it could well be so. RD Moore would love doing that. You believe this hype about the "Last Supper" portrait and the the final cylon is not in it? Did you believe Starbuck was dead too? Killing off Roslin in Episode 16 - to bring her back in this great reveal in the last episode is sooooo much like RDM it's not even funny. It would not surprise me in the least. [/QUOTE]
