I'm in two minds about Roslin being the final Cylon. On the one hand, she's the only main character who we don't know a lot about personal-history-wise, and she would be a huge shocker - as well as, for the character, being a huge deal. Plus, her not being "activated" like the other four could be explained by the chemo, frakking up her insides.

On the other hand... it completely devalues Tory's own personal storyline, as she's the right hand of the President - to have her as a Cylon and then to have Roslin be a Cylon would make any arc with Tory somewhat less important. Of course, this is going on the sole part of the final scene where she and Tigh "pledge" their allegiance to Adama and Roslin, and share the look of "frak, we're in key positions and we're both the enemy".

Wouldn't that be the ultimate irony - for Roslin to have executed and stranded Cylons as she has. Would she be compelled to suicide. I almost expect that of at least one of the four. Fortunately they have the examples of Athena and Caprica.

I've wondered whether Boomer knew about the Chief when they were having their affair.

Rekha Sharma (Tory) is the only one of the four who is not a regular - Michael Trucco is being bumped up for season 4.

It could be an interesting storyline, actually, if Tory was uncovered and airlocked by Laura - only for her to discover that she's the final Cylon herself!

Roslin discovers Tory's secret, only to find out her true nature. BTW am I screwing up on the threads? I have to open each post individually, unlike the other voy sites, where the thread opens up entirely. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Still working out the kinks here :)

Also, having Roslin be a Cylon works better if the revelation comes as Tory's killed off - there's no conflict with the angle of Tory being the "right hand man" and a Cylon, because there'd be no Tory; her storyline would be done with.

Of course, I heart Tory, and Rekha Sharma is a darling, so I would *hate* for her to bite it!

Although since this is the last season, I'm guessing all bets are off. if the Roslin thing happens it would have to be a torturous event, which my guess could mean her Tory. This still brings back the question of Starbuck. I just can't wait for this show to be back on.
