BSG - Who are the Final Five?

I'm creating a new thread since the scope exceeds one single episode.

You surely have an opinion on the identity of the Final Five Cylons? Pick 5 names and tell us why you think these lowly humans are in fact enlightened Cylons.

If you don't know who they are, check out this page.

Yes, some of them are dead. But that's not much of a hindrance, for a Cylon.


Here are my picks:

Colonel Saul Tigh: Simply for TV drama and effect. Arguably the one that hates Cylons the most, and hates himself at the same time. Coincidence? I think not.

Petty Officer Anastasia Dualla: She is in competition with Starbuck for Lee's heart. Starbuck is probably the Chosen One, so interesting symmetry. And she's too cute to be human.

Lt. Felix Gaeta: Always in a position close to those in power. Maybe his machine-like efficiency (and affinity with machines) extends beyond appearances...

Tom Zarek: The guy you love to hate. And an ambitious cold-hearted troublemaker. Maybe too obvious, or maybe not.

Oracle Selloi: Beirs was surprised by one of the Five, and recognized her with an incredulous "You!". The Oracle did a good job of spooking her on New Caprica...

Your turn.

If you don't think the Final Five will be revealed and if they will would not be a cast member are you still allowed to post in this thread?

You did, didn't you?

All opinions welcome!

I don't think it will be anyone we know to be biologically related to anyone else, otherwise the Baby would not be so important. So it won't be Lee Adama, Bill Adama, Tyrol, Cally or Helo.

I don't think any member of the Five will have replaced someone already known for years and years, and the humaniod-Cylons are unlikely to have been around for years and years. So it won't be Saul or Zerek.

It won't be someone too ironic, too pat or too out of bounds. So it won't be Laura, Baltar or Kara.

That leaves Petty Officer Anastasia Dualla, Lt. Felix Gaeta, Samuel Anders and Dr. Cottle.

I think it will be Dualla. That way she creates a more interesting opposition to Kara and can be killed, without pity or remorse, to honorably free Lee to to go after Kara.

Not sure on any of the others - but I agree with this one. It was certainly somebody that Beirs had met and been disrespectful to. This one fits the bill in just about every way.

I still think Ellen Tigh is a cylon. I think at some point it'll be revealed and Saul will really feel betrayed...dup'ed by a cylon for years and then feeling sorry for killing a cylon.

and I wonder about Chief Petty Officer Galen Tyrol. He never had a kid with Boomer and the cylons don't seem to have kids that way. Admittedly I could see his wife as a cylon too...

 

[Kobold Avenger]

A really odd theory would be that one of the final five is a model that looked like the hybrid. She went crazy seeing what was beyond life and death, and they boxed most of her model, except kept a few of them and turned them into hybrids.

 

[Kobold Avenger]

Though if it's a cast member, it's likely going to be Felix Gaeta. If it was him Three would certainly have the, "You... Forgive me, I didn't know it was you." As Gaeta was someone that Three certainly knew, and dealt with a lot, and probably mistreated a bunch of time.

Somehow the revelation that he's a cylon if he doesn't get killed right away, will probably cause a new batch of uneasy angst for him, like he had early this season.

I really hope it's mostly people we haven't seen. I would be more than a little upset if they were all cast members. Obviously one is, since D'Anna recognized him/her, but I hope the rest aren't.

I don't think the writers can afford, in terms of drama, to make more than one of the regular supposed humans a Cylon.
