The data provided, clues dropped, and more than a little speculation on the identity of the final Cylon in the Colonial Fleet. |

Facts- William Adama has a son, Lee. This implies he is not a Cylon, due to the extreme importance of the child Hera (the first hybrid).
- Kara Thrace has returned seemingly from the dead. She also saw what appeared to be visions of Cylon Raiders just before she apparently died. She also claims in the trailers that she is not afraid to die.
- Kara also drew images of the Temple of Five as a child
- The Cylon Leoben claimed that Adama was a Cylon, never specifying which one; William was implied. However, Leoben would not know the identity of the Final Five, so this is likely a lie.
- Hera's blood cured the cancer of Laura Roslin, implying a strange connection to the Cylons
- Roslin also encountered a shared vision with two known Cylons, a Six and Athena (an Eight)
- Lee Adama, Laura Roslin, and Kara Thrace all have a mysterious connection to the trip to Earth, each seeming to guide the colonists along by finding clues that seem hidden. The only other person to do this was Galen Tyrol, since revealed to be one of the Final Five.
- One of the Final Five was recognized by D'anna Beirs, a Cylon (Three). This implies someone both known and influential.
- Baltar sees an imaginary Six, and she shares the phenomenon. The two were instrumental in the destruction of the 12 Colonies.
- Lee Adama encountered an odd vision of floating in water when he ejected from the Blackbird. This could symbolize the tanks the Cylons are reborn in. Also at this time he had a death wish, though this was possibly due to Kara's planned assassination of Helena Cain or due to his failure to back her up.
- There is something forbidden about the Final Five, as the Cylons do not speak of them nor wish to know their identity (except D'anna). Since four of the five are members of the human fleet or government with loyalties therein, this implies the Final Five might all be important members of the Colonial Government.
- Major members of the Fleet's Command Staff (Tigh), the Colonial Government (Foster), the Resistance (Anders), and the Fleet's enlisted corps and maintenance corps (Tyrol) have all been revealed to be Cylons. The untouched groups include the pilot corps (Lee or Kara), the scientific corps (Baltar), and the Council of Twelve (possibly Tom Zarek).
- A Cylon Hybrid claimed that the final Cylon would emerge from a trespass of some kind and seek forgiveness
- The same Hybrid claimed that Kara Thrace would lead humanity to its end
- William Adama was the only one who knew of Earth at the beginning of the series
- My suspects: Kara Thrace, Lee Adama, William Adama, Laura Roslin, Guius Baltar, Tom Zarek, Doc Cottle
Theories- The Final Five Cylons were created on Earth. Foreseeing that at least some of the members left behind would want to join the colonists of the 13th Colony, they were sent along with D'anna to the colonies. D'anna entered the Cylon force and the Final Five entered the Colonies themselves. This would explain the Temple of Five and its connection to the Final Five.
Those six then had their memories repressed so as not to reveal their true nature. However, as the Fleet nears Earth, they begin to either remember or are somehow triggered from Earth to remember. This explains the revelation of the four on Galactica and D'anna's sudden ability to clearly see and remember the faces of the Final Five.
This explains why the Cylons don't know the identities of the Final Five. It also explains the sudden revelation of the identities of the Final Five to D'anna and the four.
This implies that the Four might now know the identity of the last Cylon.
It also implies that the final Cylon is instrumental to guiding the Fleet to Earth. Also it can be assumed that the final Cylon is in a very important role and thus did not come to the gym with the others to investigate the music.
It could also be that the final Cylon knows the truth and has known all along.
Possible people: William Adama, Lee Adama, Kara Thrace, Doc Cottle
Unlikely Suspects: Guius Baltar, Laura Roslin, Tom Zarek
- The Final Five were the first Cylons created by the Colonists. These Five were created for the purpose of serving the Colonies and leading the Centurions who would be created later (prior to the First Cylon War when the Cylons rebelled). The Final Five opposed the war and would not allow the others to continue it. Therefore all copies of the Final Five in the Cylon Collective were killed and not resurrected, and their identities were deleted from the collective memory of the Cylons.
This would explain why none of the Cylons remember, but with enough concentration, D'anna was able to see their faces once more.
This would also explain why the Final Five so far are all members of human society and the Colonial Fleet.
Possible people: William Adama, Doc Cottle
Unlikely suspects: Lee Adama, Kara Thrace, Guius Baltar, Laura Roslin, Tom Zarek
- The Cylons always attempt to be more and more human. The Final Five are indeed the final five models created, only they were created too human. They were exiled and their memories purged, and their identities were deleted from the Cylon memory banks. This explains why the Cylons don't continue to create new models and also explains why the Cylons don't talk about the Final Five.
Possible people: William Adama, Doc Cottle, Lee Adama, Kara Thrace, Guius Baltar, Laura Roslin, Tom Zarek
Unlikely suspects: None

Zarek not likley. If he were it would be a total tip of the hat to the original series for Richard Hatch to be the key to this series. Don\'t think so though.
