Hmmm...interesting meta. I haven't thought too critically about the meaning of the opera house before. Perhaps I should go back to swinging by TWOP occasionally.
What if when we finally learn the truth of the Opera House we see the Fifth is someone like Cain, who's dead but NOT resurrected?
Will they actually download the final cylon it that's the case? The 2, 6, and 8's I assume would want to, but would the fleet? I could see a power struggle in that case.
what if Three tells them the Fifth is Laura, and she has to choose whether to die permanently, or to unlock those templates and be able resurrect herself into a healthy, younger body? Would she do it?
I think she would so long as her knowledge of cylonness came from within. Think of the final four, it someone had come to them with absolute proof that they were cylons, but they had no inner knowledge, what would they have done? I'd say they would've shot the person telling them they were cylons. However, with inner knowledge made manifest, they accepted it even though they have struggled against it.
I'm personally of the opinion that the final cylon is someone currently alive and that they are more aware of their cylonnness than the final four.
I really hope that the final four don't have to download into some other form! The hole in the show would be immense.
