My nominee for 5th Cylon....
Since I am about to go on vacation and it is likely that the identity of the fifth Cylon will happen while I am away, I might as well put my vote on the board now. I like tom Zarek as the fifth for a few reasons.
We have had clues that the 5th Cylon is seeking redemption for some past act. Tom Zarek has a past as a "freedom fighter/terrorist" who has used violence to make his point. He is a vocal advocate of freedom for slaves (which would align with a Cylon perspective) and has been very anti-Cylon, which nearly led to his death on Cylon occupied New Caprica. Note here that at least 3 of the other 4 "final Five" were leaders in the resistance on New Caprica, and were ultimately responsible for saving Zarek's life.
Unlike the other 4, I will go out on a limb and also say that I think Zarek has always been aware of what he was. I think that he is the one who triggered the musical signal to "awaken" the others.
I maybe totally off base, but what's the harm in putting it out there?
