Who is the Fifth Cylon?

There is some pretty creative speculation going on about who is the fifth and final "skin job" Cylon in the final season of Battlestar Galactica.

Of course it can't be one of the Centurions from the original series...


And it can't be one of the new Centurions...


And allegedly it is someone who is not in the "last supper" promo picture...


My money is on either Baltar (or else they better explain those hallucination sequences with the Six) or Rosiland. But I love the theory that everyone is a Cyclon except for the tribe that originally fled to Earth :)

...but both Roslin and Baltar are in the "last supper" promo picture!

Well, I did say _allegedly_ not in the promo, but don't believe everything you see on the internet :)

The D'Anna (Cylon model #3) did say only 4 of the Final 5 were in the Colonial fleet, so in my mind she was either lying, we've never seen the #5 (a character that has yet to be introduced), or #5 was someone already on the base ship at the time D'Anna was rescued. e.g. Roslin, Baltar, Helo or Hot Dog :)

Yay...That's my thinking too. Deana changed from saying "The five are in the fleet" to "I want the four that are in the fleet brought to the base station", and that, to me, indicates that at that precise moment the fifth was already onboard the Cylon base station. And, as you say, that means one of those four. I also think it's Roslyn.

And I too don't believe The Last Supper promo hype. ALL the main characters are in the picture, and if it's not one of those, then the fifth cylon is someone who, quite frankly, comes under the "who cares, so what" heading (e.g. Dualla, Gaeta, Zarek etc..). And that would be an enormous dramatic let-down, and a really shitty ending to an otherwise excellent series.
