THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS BATTLESTAR SPOILERS ONLY INSOFAR AS IT DISCUSSES SOMETHING THAT DID NOT HAPPEN IN "REVELATIONS"
There was a moment, while I was watching the finale that I thought that the Fifth Cylon was actually in this scene.
What's that you say? There are only three people in this scene? Tyrol, Saul and Anders? All of whom are already known as the Frakked Up Four? Yes. That's correct. There are only three people in this scene. And in this screencap. Yet, there was another Cylon there (to my mind). Plain as day.
Then I remembered that scenes in "Rapture," where D'Anna meets the Final Five in relig-o-rama vision (like the one below) render such as assumption as unlikely.
Not impossible.
Just unlikely.
Let the BWAH HA HA's commence.

So you thought one of the Raptors was going to be the fifth? That would have been oddly genius. I'm still two episodes behind on the DVR.
I never thought for real that was the case... but I remember thinking at the time how funny it would be if the Raptor did a "Transformers" move and changed into the fifth Cylon! I maintain my guess on #5. It's kind of out there, but interesting.
And can I just say how amused I am that my word verification is "jsizm"??
Duh. It's a viper.
You two really should know better.
Next thing you know, you guys are going to confuse Helmic Regulators with Heisenberg Compensators or some shit.
Frak, man.
(though I didn't think it would transform or anything)
Oops. Viper. Yeah, that's what I meant!
Diana said she wanted the final five, but when Roslin pressed her she said "The four in your fleet."
To me that says the fifth was on the base ship already.
I've been convinced it's Roslin for some time now. Baltar didn't share the visions because he's not a Cylon. Hera's blood healed her before.
I think they already toyed with and then disarmed the option of Roslin being one of the five in "Hub." Otherwise that moment is cheap and reverse-schmuck-baity.
I don't think it's Roslin. Visions haven't been a prerequisite for Cylon-hood. And Baltar has had them earlier in the show's run, so his not having them now is moot.
And if it was some random Raptor I'd be pissed as hell. We're looking for heartbreak with the fifth, people. Not Michael Bay shit all dressed up as cute.
Emily's right about the "four in the fleet clue." And the only people that D'Anna was willing to execute on the Hub were non-entity characters anyway. So for A-listers, that'd be
Roslin
Baltar
Helo
I know where my money lies.
I thougt it too for a second, but that would be weird.
D'Anna said that only four were in the fleet and since that viper was in the fleet as wel...
I go with emily. Number five is already on the baseship.
I concur with the "four in the fleet" remark, but it potentially leads to disappointment.
Roslin= I'm with Adam, reverse shmuck baity and I'd be really irritated if it were here.
Baltar=almost seems the obvious choice, so I don't want it to be him.
Helo=would be fine I guess, it would spark reexamination of his "pro-(cylon) life" attitudes, his relationship with Sharon going all the way back. Somehow, though, I think it would take a little something out of his rebellious streak toward cylonicide.
There are other places that are "not in the fleet" though.
Like Earth.
Not saying I'm down with that or how or why it would be done, but the BG folks do try for outside of the box, so I veer toward the bizarre in hypotheticals.
