The Fifth Cylon Revealed: Battlestar Galactica

Who is the Fifth Cylon? Find Out Here

Stephen Joltin
The fifth Cylon is Kara Thrace (AKA Starbuck). This will be revealed after the midseason break. What proof do I have? Think back to when Starbuck died at the end of the previous season. Yet she appears in a brand new viper in this season many months later. Only Cylons can be resurrected. This is clue 1. The resurrection is only part of the clues from this one incident. The viper she came back on was not the viper she left on. Only the Cylons have the technology to build an exact duplicate of the viper. This is clue 2.

Only the final five know where Earth is. Starbuck knew where Earth was. She led both the Galactica and the remains of Humanity as well as the Cylons to Earth with the help of information stored on her newly replicated viper. Is this a coincidence - not likely. This is clue 3.

She has engrams of a trip to Earth. These fade as she moves further from Earth. This is a different dynamic than memories, not at all human. This is the 4th clue? She married a Cylon (one of the four) even though she love Adama's son, Lee Adama, AKA Apollo more. There is no good explanation for this. This is clue 5.

Kara has memories of parents but no surviving parent into her adulthood even before the Cylon Attack on Caprica. This is clue 6.

You are welcome to draw your own conclusion. However, my money is on Kara Starbuck Thrace as the fifth Cylon.

    Yeah, Kara seems like the obvious choice. That's probably why it'll turn out not to be her. We will know shortly though. Only 3 more to go.

    Oh please! Now we are Buddists. There was no doubt that it was Kara Thrace.

    "I was correct and anyone who read this article would have known 6 months early that Kara Thrace was the final cylon. It was revealed Jan 16, 2009 at 10 PM.

    Too bad you're totally wrong. Way to jump the gun and not wait until 22:59:44 when they revealed, the oh so obvious from all the clues, Ellen Tigh.

    Folks,
    I think it's Billy, Roslyn's former aide..
    We haven't seen him since he was shot and died. This would of course refute the theory that the Final 5 don't resurrect but what the heck!
    Also, consider that Billy, like Tory was in a prime position to influence the leadership.

    Battlestar Gallactica will resume January 16, 2009 on the Sci-Fi channel. Wahooo!!!!

    Does anyone know when and if Battlestar will continue. It seems while this was expensive to produce, they could 1) make a movie as the finale 2) Have a final short series to resolve everything on TV. I think it has a very large following and deserves a resolution. Don't you?

    Guys, you forget one very important thing. One other clue to the 5th's identity is linked to the "wake up call". The 5th cylon was NOT on the ship when the music went on, compelling the 4 to gather. If it was, it would have been revealed as well. Also, later, 3 confirmes that there were only 4 cylons on the ship at that time (she would not have made that assumption if she wasn't sure of it, so just not seeing the 5th is not an option. She knew exaclty where they were becore seing them).

    That being said, the 5th cannot be either Gaeta, Dee, Starbuck, Roslin, or any other character on Gallactica at that time (I would also presume that the "wake up call" would have been heard all across the fleet, ruling Zarek out as well, beacuse 3 didn't feel the 5th there either). So it could be ANY character who died before the "wake up call". It must also be a huge surprise and a tensionate one. So minor characters as Adar are also out of the question, beacuse the main characters do not have a sp

    "Think back to when Starbuck died at the end of the previous season. Yet she appears in a brand new viper in this season many months later. Only Cylons can be resurrected. This is clue 1 "
    The final five have no replics, they can not be resurrected...
    And... Did she really died ? Also, the Kara we see in season 4 have again her tatoos...

    "The viper she came back on was not the viper she left on. Only the Cylons have the technology to build an exact duplicate of the viper. This is clue 2."
    >> Yes ? when do we learn that ? And it is human technologie... What about another human (from earth) building this viper ? It's insane but its better explaination.

    "Only the final five know where Earth is. Starbuck knew where Earth was. She led both the Galactica and the remains of Humanity as well as the Cylons to Earth with the help of information stored on her newly replicated viper. Is this a coincidence - not likely. This is clue 3."
