Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think you are all fooling yourselfs. I don't think they are cylons. I think they are really the 5 priest. remember they were looking down from the balcony and not down on the floor. Second there where places for 5 places for the priest on the planet with the shrine.

Ron gave a recent interview in which he clarified that they are indeed cylons, full cylons (not hybrids), but that they are "fundamentally different" from the other 7, and that next season we will get into the hows and whys, explaining about how it's possible that Tigh, a 60 year old man who fought in the first cylon war, could be a cylon, etc.
Looks like they really are. Which I think is pretty cool. I'm still hoping it'll turn out that the five (or at least the four) are working with/for the humans.
Oh, Ron also said that they were only just switched on. They don't have "an agenda", they don't know why/how they were put on Galactica. They only know that they are cylons. He also said that we will delve into the fact that there are now two hybrid babies (Nicky).
Oh, and that them being "activated" didn't really have anything to do with the song, but with arriving at this particular point in space. I'm sticking to my theory that the five are on earth, protecting it (and the humans) and they have been activated because they are within range of it or something. And Kara has been there and knows who they all are, and has arrived with the cylon fleet that is now surrounding the RTF. The power surge was designed to keep them from jumping away before they had a chance to talk to them and explain things.
And Ron said he knows who the final cylon is, but hasn't decided when we will find out (so obviously it won't be anytime immediately into the fourth season). On Skiffy someone asked if he knew already who it was and if he had given us hints as to their identity, and he replied "yes and yes". My theory is that it's Socrata Thrace. That would make Kara the oldest (presumably) hybrid. Which is fine with me, because as far as I'm concerned, apart from some genetic abnormalities/superiorities, the hybrids are, biologically, completely human. They'd have to be. The part of the cylons that allows them to reproduce is the biologically human part. And the babies can't inherit software.
I think there were about three seperate interviews given after the finale aired, I'll see if I can find them.
Ok, here they are:
Also, if you'd like to read Ron's responses to "Twenty Questions" on skiffy, you can. Basically, he just chooses 20 questions from a list of posts and answers them. Some are interesting, some are dodgy, some are pompous.

If anyone in here's a Shield fan, I've seen the first 6 eps of this season. I can just about see how the last 4 might play out, but I have no idea how they're going to manage another 10 after that.

I love The Shield, but I'm like 2 years behind because I tend to catch up with it on DVD, and also, I'm lazy and easily distracted. (I am, unfortunately, spoiled for the Major Thing That Happened at the the end of last season, but I do not know the whys and wherefores because I'm so far behind.) I'm trying to get back up to date via Netflix so, well, maybe in a couple of months I'll be all, "Wait, tell me more!"

Hah! In a super cult-tv convergence, it would appear that John Simm (Life on Mars's Sam Tyler) is going to be the major end-of-season villain - THE villain - on Doctor Who. The Wikipedia Serials page has info and spoilers for all individual episodes.
Happy now!

Well, by ep 6 of the current season, the truth about the Major Thing has come out, and so the last 4 will be all about large amounts of shit hitting many many fans as that's dealt with. And then...another season of 10. Somehow. (Maybe they'll just kill everyone off except Ronnie and let him start a new strike team. I think he deserves it, after 6 seasons of being "the guy who doesn't talk much.")

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Drive:
"I wish I had killed you now". Wendy, I loves you.
The stunt at the beginning of ep 2 is fantastic. Not seen anything like it in TV before. Iraq guy I do not like, and hope they both die in a fireball. Iraq exposition lines with the truck drivers really didn't like.
Violet and her dad to win. I loved her Dad.
Oh, and Fillion? He fucking OWNS the screen the entire time he's on it.

Heroes - regarding Mama Petrelli's powers:
Mama Petrelli's power is very similar to a power possessed by another hero, only in her case, it takes a lot less effort to get from Point A to Point B. [Source: Ausiello] from [link]
You think she's got Hiro's power?
