The final cylon is...

Laura Roslin? That's my best guess right now, anyway. D'Anna said that 4 are in the fleet, so assuming it's not someone who died earlier (e.g. Zak Adama, Kendra Shaw, Ellen Tigh, or Cally) then I think that means the 5th was on the base ship, and that only leaves two major character possibilities: Roslin or Baltar. During the time when D'Anna was purposely dying so she could download and try to see the final five, she made a drawing of the final five, and while the features are indistinct, 2 of them appear to be women, and since so far we only know 1 woman of the final 5 (Torrie), Roslin remains a possible candidate. Also, a couple episodes ago when D'Anna was talking to Roslin for the first time after being unboxed she casually told Roslin that she was one of the final five, and then said she was joking. This could be her way of seeing whether Roslin knew she was a cylon or not.

After the episode, in the preview for the rest of the season, Tigh says in a scraggly voice, "You're the fifth." The way he says it seems like it's someone close to him, which would seem to rule out Roslin, and suggest someone like Admiral Adama or his dead wife Ellen. The latter possibility would go along with the idea that the final cylon is a woman. Maybe a copy of her is on Earth and he's the first to see her.

In any case, last night's episode was frakking awesome. I didn't even know it was the mid-season finale until halfway through or so when it came back from commercial and saw the bar at the bottom describing it as such. Apparently the second half of Season 4 isn't going to start airing for at least another 7 months. :(
