Taking b!x’s lead… I haven’t fleshed this out yet, but what if the remaining four aren’t part of the final 5, but are some sort of protection for the final five? In other words, Col Tigh ‘protects’ Adama (making the “I’m here for you” speech at the end even more interesting). The gal protects Roslin. Starbuck’s husband was supposed to protect her. And the Chief, well, could he actually be protecting the soon-to-be-reinstated CAG???

Actually, Roslin was one of my first guesses. She had, while on the bridge, that wave of what appeared to be nausea that we’d chalk up to cancer, but then we saw her assistant, hearing the music and rushing into the bathroom, also apparently sick. So I agree…

1) Twelve gods, twelve cylons, twelve colonies. But wait! If there are actually thirteen colonies, with one hidden, I’m guessing there’s also a hidden cylon, and also a hidden god. Thirteen of each.

2) One of the final five is old enough to clearly predate the first cylon war. Something odd must have happened: a memory transfer from a now-dead human, or humanoid cylons in general predate the first cylon war. Or, perhaps, something that predates the cylon rebellion bent the cylons to their own ends, and caused the humanoid cylons to arise.

Might the Lords of Kobol - aka the gods - have taken hold of the cylons and caused them to rebel? Or more precisely, might a faction of the gods have done so with the goal of destroying humanity? Creating humanoid cylons in the process, and perhaps in their image?

Might another faction of the gods have acted to protect humanity, creating their own humanoid cylons to be guardians and guides, hidden from the warlike faction?

This would pick up a theme from the original series, heretofore missing, where the Fleet was a pawn in the contest between beings of light and dark.

3) Possibilities for known characters to be cylons include, IMHO, Roslin, Baltar, and Starbuck. I’d say the likeliest is Roslin.

Well, Hera is a hybrid of a modern Cylon and a modern human. If the Four are simply the descended line from the hybrids of the prior cycle, their own children might not be the same sort of being as Hera.

Question: scifi.com said all FIVE would be revealed..and weren’t they? Couldn’t one assume that Starbuck, mysteriously back from the dead is also one??? If not, then the teaser online lied.
Also…if the other 4 are cylons, then there is a cylon/human baby from the Chief. So why is Hera so important as a cylon/human hybrid? There’s more than one of them then, so why is she so special?

(just throwing out questions the arose for me while watching)

And why is it not returning until 2008???????
