Well apparently the Fifth is neither Adama or Roslin, according to the actors who play them. Whether they're telling the truth or not is another matter!
In a weird sort of way, I think Galactica may be the Fifth Cylon. It's an old ship, and since New Caprica it's been very battle-scarred. It could fulfill the "dying leader" prophecy, as well as being the Fifth Cylon (the Four all heard the music whilst aboard Galactica, after all.)
I really don't know who the Fifth could be if it's a person. I hope it isn't Dee (there's been speculation, since Anastasia means "resurrection") or Zarek, simply because I don't know how satisfying it would be for a minor character to have such an important role. It'll be interesting to find out anyway!
I just hope that we find out who it is as part of the mid-season cliffhanger. It would be more fun to spend the last half of the season knowing, rather than finding out in the last twenty minutes of the finale!
