So who do you think the final Cylon is? Comment below!

Apparently the Bob Dylan song that the four Cylons hear is "All Along the Watchtower" - you can read the lyrics here.

This begs the question - is the fifth and final Cylon alluded to in the lyrics?

Ronald D. Moore has said that the final Cylon is someone we know, but not one of the major characters. So that leaves out people like Starbuck and Lee and Baltar.

Yet I keep thinking that the song does refer to Baltar.

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Wouldn't that be Baltar's 'harem?' And Baltar as a Prince? It doesn't really apply to Gaeta or Dualla. For a while I thought the Fifth would be that Oracle from New Caprica. Or how about Boxey? (On second thought, no.)

I guess perhaps guessing is futile.
