In a universe where faster-than-light interstellar travel occurs daily, we can't rule out the possiblity that there may be a NanoTechnolgical Cylon... in the form a fancy mens suit. It would be almost undetectable and, as I’ll explain, could gain access to the highest echelon of government and military power.
Why it works:
Seeing as that Lee Adama is, at various points, a critical member of the Legislative, Executive and Military branches of the government, it only makes sense that the Fancy Suit NanoTechnology Cylon (FSNTC) would somehow find its way into Lee’s wardrobe. I’m sure FSNTC looked for others to adorn, but no one else, besides Lee, high up in the chain of command ever wears a fancy suit… Not Admiral Adama and certainly not Saul Tigh. The closest candidate was President Laura Roslin, but she’s a woman and as I said, the 5th Cylon is a Fancy Suit NanoTechnology Cylon, not a Fancy Ladies Power Suit NanoTechnology Cylon, so that could never work. It’s obvious that Lee Adama was the best choice for the FSNTC.
When Lee became the military advisor to President Roslin, the FSNTC was privileged to all kinds of unfettered military and political access. Later down the road, Lee becomes the Caprican delegate to the Quorum of 12, giving FSNTC even more access to the political world. And eventually, Lee finds himself as the interim President of the 12 colonies, giving FSNTC access to virtually everything. It couldn’t be more perfect!
Why it doesn’t work:
While some might think of a NanoTechnological Cylon in the form of a fancy mens suit is ingenious, they would be wrong. It’s just stupid. I’m a little disappointed in myself for even thinking up this possibility.
Odds that I’m right:
