I had actually forgotten that Three said that about F5 not being in the fleet. That does make this more difficult. Have you seen this post on some interesting speculation? If F5 was on the basestar, then s/he would technically not be in the fleet. Also, this could be referring to a presumed dead character like Cally, Billy, Cain or Shaw. Also, I did double-check the Pythia Prophecy, and as I remembered the dying leader is not supposed to ever see Earth. In the Hand of God episode, Elosha said "She also wrote that the new leader suffered a wasting disease and would not live to enter the new land." If that's the case, then showing Roslin standing on "Earth" has to be a fakeout. At the end of that last episode, was I the only one saying "You blew it up! Oh, damn you!"? I keep waiting to hear Tigh say "Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty toaster."

If Three says the fifth is not in the fleet, then I take her word for it. If she’s lying, then that’s basically a big “frak you” from Ron Moore, and it would really ruin things for me. Gaeta said the constellations in the sky match what we would expect from Earth. Also, the ruined city looked like New York. If it’s not Earth then that’s an incredible cheat as well. I’m sort of just willing to believe what they’re telling us.

Ryan, well you could make that argument and I’m not ruling that out. However, having Zak be F5 would be very disappointing as I think it needs to at least be a character who has had some involvement in the series in more than just flashbacks/backstory. His whole reason for being was to create intra- and inter-personal conflict for Starbuck and Lee. Cain and Ellen are such loose canons that it really depends on what role the writers want F5 to play — a foil or a leader? Kendra, Cally or Billy, any of those could work, I suppose. I don’t know, though, except for Cally, making F5 a previously dead character seems a bit like a cop out.

All that being said, Dualla made a reappearance in this episode after having been significantly absent in the past few. She was right in the middle of things, much more than Gaeta. I’m not writing her off yet. If she’s already been triggered, perhaps a while ago, she could just have a good poker face.

The writers are throwing out a lot of false leads (as they should) and it’s impossible to tell which one is actually a true clue: Dualla pops up after having been gone; a whole episode practically devoted to Gaeta; this last episode they mentioned Doc Cottle as if to say “Don’t forget about him!”; Lee steps up to the plate in ways a little bit out of character; and Romo Lamkin is oddly not around.

Also, in the previews for the mid-season premiere we saw Tigh holding a gun to someone and then audio of him saying something like “You’re the fifth.” It was probably just editing to make the two go together, but to me that person looked like it could be Baltar, Lee or Dualla — definitely not a blond, so it’s not Starbuck in that scene. Also, in the end of the episode where they see a devastated Earth, didn’t the Pythia prophecy say that the dying leader would never see Earth? I have to look that up, but it could mean that they have in fact not found Earth. I kind of hope they haven’t, otherwise we’re in for the latter half of the last season being a re-imagining of Galactica 1980. I suppose if anyone can make that work it’s RDM, but even for him that’d be a feat.

Well, back to the drawing board. It’s not Dee, Gaeta, or Cottle. They’re all in the fleet. If the F5 can download, then possible suspects are Cain, Kendra, Callie, Ellen, Zak, or Billy. If they can’t, then the only person I can think of is Bill’s wife, who though we’re told is dead, we don’t know that for sure. And we never witnessed it.
