They have become sentient and they have been exposed to a concise briefing about the one god, courtesy of Gauis.
They were not on the fleet or galactica when d’anna spoke.
Or has that been already explored and discarded a being too wacky..

I don't remember it being discussed but it is a bit wacky.
There are a lot more than five Centurions anyway. Plus they're not humanoid models (which is what 'twelve Cylon models' refers to).
So, no.

A modern John Hawkwood you are, Sir :)
That being said unless they go terminator on us you do have a point.
Unless we take being self aware and having the ability to make more or less rational decision the qualifying factor for being human. (I.e. human inside and not outside)
The final five does not have to be a unique in his or her model.
But yes it is far fetched..

Explain.
Also, we know Tigh, Tory, Tyrol and T'Anders are four of the Final Five.

D'Anna saw humanoid shapes, and the 12 models have always been said to be about humanoid models, only. Raiders, baseships and Centurions don't count.

No raiders, or baseships, huh? How about objects? I think that the Fifth is a bottle of ambrosia that Tigh drank in Season 1. Holy crap, that means the fifth is now somewhere in the water reclamation system, and probably back as drinking water. You know what that means!!!! AAAAAAGHGHAGH!1!!1!

A chilling thought! And indeed, this bottle has been in the series since the mini! And it isn't among the objects in the last supper picture. Very suspicious, how could Tigh be portrayed without it?
And it is longing for redemption for getting Tigh drunk all the time, not too mention, destroying his liver. The Dirt, I think you have cracked it!

Hello
@ Genji2000
:thumbsup:
Damned, so it had been visited before after all…. yes i did enjoy it. My main issue with that theory though is that centurion do not speak with an Austrian accent
@ Wouter
All D’anna saw was form in shrouds all the same size, and there are a few short asses in the S7 and F5. So other than the faces the vision seems to be more allegorical than factual. With that in mind if you put a bed-sheet on centurion you have a humanoid shape as well as a standing lamp.;)
@the Dirt
Yes it means that on Galactica they should drink tea.

PS
For good old john (glorious English leader of the White Company),
Well he was not really messing about and was straight to the point, hence my mental link. (I understood that you were from the UK, if not the reference will probably be lost)
Pss I am on 4.10.

You have further convinced me of my own genius. I hope they didn't leave it on New Caprica.
