Thoughts on the final five

By Jenn • Jun 2nd, 2008 • Category: Rumors

There has been a lot speculation about who the fifth cylon is and who is not the fifth. Rumors are abound that it’s Roslin, Starbuck, Baltar or Bill Adama. If were to cast bets hinging on what has been said by those associated with the series, those four people are not in the picture.

However, in the first season episode “Flesh and Bone,” when Kara goes aboard another ship to interrogate Leoben, he whispers to Rolsin that “Adama is a cylon.”

Let’s cover the list of Adama’s…

Carolanee Adama (Bill’s wife)
Bill Adama
Lee Adama
Zack Adama
Dualla Adama (through marriage to Lee)

Now, if were to go by what Aaron Douglas has said that the talk on the Internet is far off on who the fifth is… I’m betting Zack Adama is the fifth. One, he was introduced in the first season. We know from RDM’s comments that the fifth was seen in the first season. Two, he was brought up at the beginning of the fourth season in passing in a conversation between Lee and the admiral.

This is what Lee had to say about Zack…

Lee: Dad, what if Zack had come back to us in the viper? If my brother had climbed out of that cockpit, would it matter if here were a cylon? If he always had been? When all said and done, would that really change how we felt about him?

  1. but then considering that the seven known models don’t know the identities of the final five, sans d’anna, and that their very mission is to find them- sounds to me that leoben was just talking out of his ass when he made that comment, much like the “here’s casey, she’s your daughter” fiasco.

  2. I don’t know about that given that D’anna said in Revelations (which kinda caught people off guard) is that four were in the fleet.
