Still pondering Revelations

chaniSorry for BSG-spamming...I needed an excuse to use my Helo icon.
And I'm having thoughts about the Final Fifth I must share.
Of course there's more on that wonderful show than finding out who the fifth Cylon is but now I have found a good candidate, I guess.
I don't think it's someone that's already dead like Billy or Lee's mother.
D'Anna was still talking about Final Five when Cavil boxed her up and later when he brought her back in "The Hub" so there must be a Fifth that is alive. She used to be a journalist in the fleet so had the Fifth be a character who's already dead she would have known so. I bet she had files about all the main characters.
But she said that the Fifth couldn't be found in the fleet, or rather that there were only Four Cylons in the fleet, which means she knew the Fifth was somewhere else. How could she know where the Fifth was not?
The obvious answer would be, because the Fifth was on the basestar, except that D'Anna would have already made contact with her/him after she arrived if only when Tory joined them and she introduced her as the lost sibling. My guess is that the Fifth isn't on the basestar.
And there's no way she could tell the Fifth wasn't in the fleet because it would be an unknown Cylon living on Earth for instance. She saw them in a vision, so she's able to recognize them, she knows their names (she told Cavil that she could shout them) but she can't locate them and tell where they are or not, she has no special powers ERGO the Fifth has to be someone whom she already knew, someone who couldn't be on the fleet because when she has been unboxed D'Anna got to know for sure that he/she wasn't in the human fleet.
I think that Boomer is the perfect candidate, because D'Anna knew she left the Hub before it was destroyed and knew she wasn't with the rebels. Boomer isn't on the basestar and she isn't in the human fleet either.
Just re-watch the scene in "The Hub" as D'Anna awakes!
I've rewatched it and the way D'Anna looks at Boomer is really strange. Besides suddenly the music rises(and it sounds like the Final Four theme, the music we always hear around them) as she says "Boomer is an Eight, shouldn't she be on the other side?" and D'Anna smiles then...I'm pretty sure now that it is a big clue.
And it would be so ironic because Cavil would have been intimate with a Final Fiver without knowing it, but after all he said that I believed they weren't meant to know them...
It must be Boomer! I do not think it's a coincidence if Saul Tigh mentioned Boomer twice when he talked about his own awakening. Apart from the Final Four, Boomer is the only sleeping Cylon we have ever seen. All the other Cylons have always known what they were. Boomer is an oddity.
It would be such a beautiful twist because the final revelation would be a non-event for the sleeping Final Cylon has been known and switched on, before the Four others, since season 1. She was there right under our nose like Poe's letter.
Athena isn't special, she is just an Eight from the production line, she is not the blessed One, it's Boomer.
