Click to viewIn a just and sane universe , we would have get laid the individuality of the final Cylon on Battlestar Galactica a long time ago . The Sci Fi Channel chose to break the show ’s fourth season in one-half , putting a nine - month gap in the heart of the mountain range of episodes that let out the stay hidden wassailer . The good intelligence is , the show took a happy chance properly as it was about to unveil that enigma , and the clew are all in blank space . Here ’s our run - down of all the last - Cylon clue we ’ve gotten so far . This is the first part of our look at clew to Battlestar Season 4.5 . The second part , looking at other plot and character hints , will go up tomorrow . First of all , Ron Moore state the final Cylon is not any of the people in this picture :
There ’s a blank for the final Cylon , in between Saul Tigh and Lee Adama . second , D’Anna Biers ( Lucy Lawless ) connote the final Cylon is not in the fleet , at the starting of the most recent episode , “ Revelations . ” It seems unlikely that she ’s lie . Actually , here ’s what she aver :
Leoben : We ’ll rejoin your fleet within an hr . Roslin : Then we will return the last five to you . Biers : Four . There are four in your fleet . Roslin : Four ? Where ’s the fifth ? Biers : I want the four in your fleet .
See how D’Anna keep off that question about where the fifth is ? It ’s powerfully implied she knows the resolution , but does n’t want our heroes to know it . D’Anna is not omniscient , and she ’s been out of circulation for a while — so it ’s kind of rummy that she knows the location of the fifth Cylon right off the bat like that .
( It is , of course , possible that D’Anna is lie in , assome have paint a picture . But it seems like an odd prevarication to tell . Why say there are four in the fleet ? Why not three ? Also , since her goal is for the humans to set aside the final Cylons to come to the Basestar unmolested , it ’s actually counterproductive for to lie about how many Cylons are in the fleet . And distinguish the truth does n’t put the conceal Cylons in any more danger than they were already in – the only reason the the Adamas actually teach the other Cylons ’ identities is because Tigh comes onwards , which D’Anna could n’t have predict . Nor is it a matter of D’Anna want to keep some cards hidden so she ’ll abide useful , and therefore alive – either fashion , she ’s not break the factual identity of the final five . So I believe D’Anna is telling the truth . ) In the previous episode , “ The Hub , ” bier only refers to the last five as one whole , and imply that she ’ll unwrap all their identities when she gets to the fleet . So peradventure the final Cylon is already on board that Basestar , and D’Anna saw him or her in between the ending of “ The Hub ” and the commencement of “ Revelations . ” potential candidates on the Basestar include Eamonn “ Gonzo ” Pike , Diana Seelix , Paolo “ Redwing ” McKay , Brendan “ Hot Dog ” Costanza , and MarineAllan Nowart(Colin Corrigan ) . Here are some screengrabs of the pilots on panel the Basestar in “ The Hub ” :
observe that Seelix was a penis , along with Tyrol , Tigh and Anders , of the New Caprica resistor andthe Circle . Could this have been like a terminal Cylon guild ? Meanwhile , Edward James Olmos and Aaron Douglas told Dragon - Con that their pal Corrigan , who ’s only had a pocket-sized role up till now , will have a “ huge role ” in the terminal ten episodes . And Corrigan also act Nowart in the TV movie “ The Plan , ” which focuses on the Cylons ’ reaction to the human resistance after their attacks on Caprica . So you might just want to put some money on Nowart . ( Of course , the producer have also foretell many time that the final Cylon wo n’t be a “ day player ” who ’s only appeared in one episode . But Nowart has been in a band of episode up till now , even though he has n’t been in the calcium light . ) The other possibility , if you consider that the final Cylon is not in the fleet , is that it ’s someone who ’s supposedly stagnant . Now , bear in judgement that Aaron Douglassaidin an interview recently that he and the other final Cylons do not have multiple written matter of the same framework – but the net five are also supposed to be hundred of thousands of years quondam , which would presuppose some method of longevity . Another strike against this melodic theme is the fact that the raiders were so scared of kill Anders and the other final Cylons in struggle – if Anders could resurrect , why would n’t the raiders kill him with alacrity ? beat characters who could be the last Cylon admit Col . Tigh ’s wife Ellen , Kendra Shaw , Cally , Louanne “ Kat ” Katraine , Zak Adama , Jean Barolay , Crashdown , and a ton of others . We know that Cally , Ellen and Zak will apparently show up in the final installment , but it could be in a dream sequence or flashback . Another longshot : Giana , a Caprican subsister fiddle by Olmos ’ wife Lymari Nidal , who kick the bucket in the miniseries . OlmossaysNidal has a huge role in “ The Plan . ” All of the other Cylons , admit the last four , are tremendously featured in the goggle box movie , so peradventure Giana is one of them ? Who else is featured in “ The Plan , ” agree to IMDB ? Alisen Down ( Jean Barolay ) , andSue - Shaun , the resistance battler who dies in one of the Cylons ’ baby farm . ( Sue - Shaun will be played a new worker , Maya Washington , this time around . ) recollect , though , that D’Anna would have to know this mortal had died and possibly resurrected wherever the concluding five raise themselves . Anyone who died after D’Anna was box is in all probability out of the word picture . ( She could also have asked around discreetly after she was unboxed , I opine . ) in the end , it ’s potential the final Cylon is someone who got leave behind on Caprica or New Caprica . But I ’m draw a blank on fiber who could equip that bill . And we know that the Cylons have keep humans as captive on their basestars in the past , so it could be someone that D’Anna knows is a prisoner . Plus , as someone point out , the Caprica Six differentiate Roslin she can sense the five are near – the five , not the four . So whoever the last Cylon is , he / she was on Galactica or nearby at that point .
There ’s also the hybrid ’s prophecy from “ Razor , ” about the last Cylon being “ still in dark ” and “ clawing toward redemption ” at the cost of large suffering . It ’s just vague enough to apply to almost anyone . Pretty much anyone who ’s had any actual projection screen clip on BSG has sinned and needs buyback , I mean . Cottle ? Stole Athena ’s baby . Gaeta ? work with President Baltar ? Seelix ? Was part of the Circle . Nowart ? Okay , you ’ve got me there . in reality , its entirely potential the final Cylon who ’s “ clawing toward buyback ” is Tyrol or Tigh . The loan-blend could n’t have known which of the final five would be impart for last . Final thought on the final Cylon : in the beginning , the final Cylon ’s identity was supposed to be revealed in “ revelation . ” ( Not surprisingly . ) And then it was pushed back to a later instalment , which has yet to vent . It sounds as though the final Cylon will be revealed in one of the first episodes to air in January , and that find will turn out of the events of “ The Hub ” and “ Revelations . ” to begin with , the producers intended for the quaternary season to air all in one bloc , signify the enormous crack between the first and 2nd halves was n’t supposed to happen . So it ’s likely the final Cylon is already in position to be unveiled soon after the show returns . Again , my money is on someone who was still on the Basestar at the start of “ divine revelation . ” Basically , if both Ron Moore and D’Anna are telling the truth – and I think they are – then the good bets for terminal Cylon are the buffer on the Basestar , especially Seelix . And , if you desire a dark horse , put a little money on Nowart . None of those people would be a particuarly satisfying reveal , specially not Nowart , whom you ’ve never heard of until now . ( I ’m getting a mental image of Admiral Adama instruct the last Cylon ’s identity operator and sinking to his knees , shout “ NOWART ! ! ! ” at the cap . ) If D’Anna is lying , then the possibilities open up quite a bit , including Zarek , Doc Cottle , Dualla and Gaeta , among others .
