Laura Roslin, Final Cylon?

At least that’s the deal according to an extremely scientific sampling of our dedicated fanbase. It would explain visions, questionable decision making at times (like agreeing to an alliance with the rebel Cylons really quickly) and how a blood transfusion from a hybrid baby temporarily stopped her cancer.
