The 5th Cylon is *yawn* Chick President


Could the President be misleading the humans to their death? Does she really enjoy awkwardly kissing Adama? Do Cylons grow hair back after chemo? Who knows, but ol' Chick President could be the 5th Cylon.

Why it works:
Ever since Laura Roslin was diagnosed with Cancer she's had "visions." The most notable one is the one from the Kobol Opera House that features her, ShaBoomTha, Caprica Six and Baltar. The reason this is important is because Baltar has not had such a vision, or dream. The others that have -- ShaBoomTha and Six -- are Cylons. Unless something super crazy is going on, how could two Cylons and a human have the same dream?

Just like having Commander Adama being the last Cylon, this fits too well with the President being in such a position of power. Conflict would ensue as to where loyalties would lie.

Why it doesn’t work:
It's too easy. It's too expected. The show talks about destiny and foreshadows a lot, but this wouldn't quite fit the aha moment we're all expecting. Would it be executed well? Sure. Is it what we're wanting? Jury is out.

Odds that I’m right:
3:1 (this is a pretty realistic one)

Even though it's the most logical answer, her or Baltar would both piss me off because they are too easy.

I'd rather see it be Adama. Which would make Lee half cyclon himself.
