This is what I like about my virus theory: it makes the "final five" either more fully godlike (as has been hinted), ancient personalities coming 'down' to inhabit this or that human, which would explain a lot of the visions. Or, alternatively, it allows the final five to possibly be something like AIs running on some Cylon mainframe until they find a host. (Or maybe both; perhaps they're the same thing.) Either way they would be independent, functioning new characters, which would be interesting, rather than just Tigh etc. learning they "are Cylons" and "have been from the start" which just makes no sense (not to mention being bad writing), and then plotting to hide it which is disgusting and sad and in some cases completely out of character.

Maybe the reason the 5th Cylon hasn't been "infected" yet is because he/she hasn't slept with anyone carrying the disease. So maybe if Roslin (or whoever) sleeps with someone and catches the disease, she'll awaken as a Cylon! But, like you, I kinda doubt that this theory will come to fruition. I kinda like this theory!
