The Last Cylon: Who is the Fifth of the Final Five in "Battlestar Galactica"
Now that the above evidence has all been laid out, it becomes apparent to me that Lee Adama is, in fact, the Last Cylon yet unmasked.
As to why he hasn't been revealed yet... there's no real information for why it hasn't happened, and any hypothesis would be too weak to pursue at this point in time.
Ultimately, this doesn't and shouldn't come as a surprise, as the overall story deals with the relationship between siblings. Whether they be father versus son, or man versus machine, Battlestar Galactica has always been driven by this basic, timeless set of relationships.
In summation, there is no better mirror to how complex the Cylon relationship with humanity has become than Lee Adama's relationship to his father. For as Romo Lampkin said in "The Son Also Rises": "There's no greater ally, no force more powerful, no enemy more resolved than a son who chooses to step from his father's shadow."

Mk, so I exceeded my word limit. But basically I was trying to explain that I didn't mean to be such a b!tch and wanted to redeem myself (at least somewhat) with some constructive discussion about Model Seven. Sorry for the previous immaturity. My bachelor's degree is obviously not in well-thought out message board postings. :)

Joe,
*sigh* Sorry, it was quite the immature thing to do at the end of a tiring day. As dumb as it sounds to say now, it was just a bit frustrating that people are still discussing who the fifth cylon is. I am quite aware of when the article was originally posted, but the commentary posted on this page is very much recent. One thing I did not check, however, before making my inappropriate comment was whether the site was based in the US, where of course the series is over (except for The Plan, of course) or if it was for somewhere else where the show may still be airing.
I think it would be much more interesting to discuss who, if anyone, could be Model Seven. I know that Ronald Moore basically said "oops, we numbered the models wrong, let's make up some back story for it as a thrown out line," but I'd like to see more than what we got from the episode "No Exit." (Where Ellen described that he was one of her favorites, and that as a result of perceived favoritism Cavil basicall
Jessica, the article was written in 2007. ;-) Admittedly, some of the comments still continue to discuss the question, since it was a central issue in the series... and, thus, some of the continued recent discussion below.
I agree with you that the question is no longer really debatable, but your reply of "Morons" is uncouth and unbecoming, as it exemplifies your own immaturity.

How about it's Ellen Tigh because that's who the show says is the fifth of the Final Five cylons. How is this still a debatable question? Morons.

I wish to add and change to my statment below due to reading more of the others. It cannot be Helo as some stated. How on earth do 2 cylons have a half-breed child? Dosen't quite work. Also, I beleive it is Baltar. The way De'anna looks at Balter throughout the series as to say, I know who you really are. And who even said there are only 12? Why not the 11 we know. Why not 13 or 50. Just because the cylons beleive there are only 12, don't make it so. Though it all depends on Moore. Also, 'Appolo from below' does Razor count towards an episode in the 4th? I beleive not. Due to it being a film not an episode. If so, my question still stands. What is the 11th episode? Someone let me know please.
And whats with all the flashbacks? When did this all happen. Seen all 4 series about 5 times now and I have never felt so confused as to what this forum makes me. When did Dee shoot herself? What makes Ellen a suspect. Admiral Adama had images of his wife like Tigh. Rosalin could see the past a

A named person above or below named Apollo stated Ellen Tigh because it is revealed in the 11th episode of series 4. What is the 11th episode. Only 10 in the box set. Im confused. Also, my opinion is Admiral Cain. Though I would love to find out the actual fifth. Maybe the next series or prelude series will tell who he/she is.

Major Kendra Shaw (Stephanie Chaves-Jacobsen) is the last of then final five Cylon. Remember that the last Cylon is not in the fleet anymore. Why would they have a 2 hour tv-movie episode,"Razor". Why would they have the main character, Major Kendra Shaw, just end in that episode. The "old dying man" hybrid clearly signified her important role in the finale. De'Anna clearly stated that she "only needed the final four cylons," and the fifth and once again, the final cylon is not in the fleet.
Major Kendra Shaw ressurrection has taken place and kept secret. She will be the final five and the secret weapon, "Razor."

I think Ellen is an old model 6, that is why Tigh is drawn to her. When they were on Earth, all of the final 5 Cylons that we know of had a moment where they flashed back to when they were on Earth before when it was destroyed. Dee also had a flashback, the moment with the jacks. Then, back on the ship, she went on a date with Apollo, made a comment aboout it being good to feel alive and then shot herself. I think she shot herself because she knew she was cylon.
