Who is the fifth cylon?

[vremya]

Who is it?

[Arrogant-One]

Okay, you need to refresh my memory here.

The 4 additional ones were:

• Col. Ty
• Indian girl (aid to President Roslin)
• Kara's Sports pro Boyfriend
• The Mechanic who married Kali

Incidentally, if the Mechanic who had a kid with Kali is a Cylon, doesn't that mean their kid is a half breed (like Sharon's baby)?

Ooo... interesting. I wonder if they'll play up that angle.

Well, they may be killing her off this week, so we'll see.

If there's a fifth cylon, why wasn't it drawn to the song in the ship, like the others?

Yep...which seems to fly in the face of the huge deal that's been made about how UBAR SPESHAL Hera is. Hopefully, they do something interesting with it.

I dunno...maybe that's a point in favor of it being Starbuck, since she wasn't on the ship at the time?

Or its programming is different.

I hope it's not Starbuck, that would be way too predictable.

It would be a riot if they riffed on the "Way to Eden" Stark Trek episode. Heading out to Eden, yay brother......

You mean the series is already airing in the US? That is sooooooooooo unfair!

[Plant Woman]

I predict the hybrids are going to be the "Adam and Eve" of earth.

[Arrogant-One]

I have given it some thought and am now prepared to strike of Dr Baltar from the list of possibilities. If he was a Cylon, there would have been no need for Number Six to manipulate him for intel in the very first episodes (that's distinct from the Cylons taking Col Ty's eye even though he's a cylon), so Baltar's a pretty safe bet for not being a cylon.

As for Roslin, I agree, it would be a huge disappointment for her to be the one.

[vremya]

VM - can this thread be combined with the other BSG thread?

[livius drusus]

It can, but it probably shouldn't be. The poll would be lost in the merge.

[vremya]

Okay - that makes sense.

Excellent point! I finally caught up and saw the first 10 episodes of season 4. Incidentally, who is looking after Hera these days?

Okay, my list of who is NOT the fifth cylon:

• Dr Baltar;
• Admiral Adama;
• Helo;
• President Roslin; and
• Felix.

If anyone is interested in why I think these are safe non-fifth cylon bets - I am happy to explain.
