The 5th Cylon is Jake


Imagine waking up to the feeling of someone, or something licking your toes. Sounds like something a dog would do, yeah? Well what if I told you that "dog" was really a Cylon!?! What in the Gods!?! Today we explore how Jake the dog (with the yellow bowl) could be the 5th Cylon.

Why it works:
It's perfect, 3 out of the 4 revealed Cylons were on New Caprica and a part of the resistance. Jake was totally there, too, and his yellow dog bowl was a signal for passing information back and forth. Jake could have known everything the humans were doing. Additionally, Jake didn't care whether he was sniffing/licking humans or Cylons. And as we've known, Cylons are apt to take on human lovers -- which feeds the notion that a dog is a man's best friend. Oh the irony!

Why it doesn't work:
The last Cylon is a dog? How could the Cylons follow a dog as a leader? I can see it now, in the throws of an intense battle over radioactive dirt on Earth, Jake must stop giving orders only to scratch behind his ear, lick his balls and hump the leg of Leoben (it's always funnier if it's a dude). I'm sure there's also an episode where Jake blames the pile of crap on the baseship on Six.

Odds that I'm right:
400:1
