Please not Roslin and not Baltar either! I'll hate that, it would ruin their storylines. They have to remain human beings. Besides it would be somehow redundant. For Baltar it would be a repetition of Tyrol's storyline (he believed he might be a cylon, he was told he was not...he ended up being a Final Fiver!), for Roslin it would be a repetition of Tigh's (the Cylon hater, loved by Papa Adama). I like echoes but I can't help thinking they need something different and refreshing for the Fifth.
For a long time I wanted Zarec, but perhaps he isn't big enough.
I want to believe that D'Anna's lines were a clue and a red herring at once. After she said (the supposed joke and the fact only Four were in the fleet at that moment) everybody is going to suspect Roslin. I think the writers are just playing with a rumour/theory that has been running in the fandom for a while now.
Besides I want to believe that Ron Moore didn't lie when he said that the Fifth was not on the picture of The Last Supper but just cheated a little! Technically Boomer wasn't on the picture, it was Athena...
One last thing. I can't think of only one logical reason to explain that the Fifth doesn't know what he/she is and hasn't been activated at the same time as the Four : the Fifth was already switched on when it happened.

I was sober but I made lots of typos -- Chani, 17:38:46 06/15/08 Sun [1]
It should read "I CAN think of only one reason" of course...

You aren't the only one who thinks that :) -- anyasbuttmonkey, 23:28:34 06/15/08 Sun [1]
I tend to agree that the writers, through D'Anna, were just being mischievous with the whole "there are Four in your Fleet" line. And that I do think that aside from Laura's cancer and/or chamalla treatments, there's no way to get around why the Fifth hasn't been activated without acknowledging that they've known from the outset - and none of the major characters could even be thought of in that regard.
I think if they're going to make anyone the Final, it'll be Baltar - I may not love it (I too think that his fallibility lies in his humanity - although maybe that's the point, that he can be a Cylon and still be so frakked up inside) but it's explainable (he was under so much stress in the trial, it could be wanked). Same goes for Roslin :(

On LJ someone reminded me -- Chani *stubborn*, 20:16:17 06/16/08 Mon [1]
that The Hybrid talked about "the one still hidden striving for redemption"...Roslin doesn't fit in that description at all.
Baltar maybe but as I said above revealing he's a Cylon would be a repetition of Tyrol's storyline...Caprica fits the Hybrid's line more than anyone else but being in the fleet ruled her out, didn't it?
Boomer shot Adama and keeps betraying her kin over and over, but I think she desperatly wants redemption.

The "humans" on the basestar -- Ricco, 21:26:00 06/23/08 Mon [1]
The only ones who might be the final model that were on the Basestar are Baltar and Roslin, why you ask? They were the only ones not rounded up when Dianna was going to execute all the hostages.
