My totally unspoiled, and somewhat off-the-wall but still vaguely possible suggestion for the cliffhanger: we get some fairly convincing proof that Adama may well be a Cylon....
This must be what going mad feels like.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

If Adama's a Cylon, then who is Lee's real father? (If it were Cylon!Adama, presumably they'd already know they could cross-breed, right?)

Art Crawl!!!
Are you thinking that there are actual people that the Cylons clone and then replace with the cylon-version?

I was thinking that earlier in the series, but I haven't seen any evidence for it. They've got Starbuck's DNA, now, I'm expecting her to be copied at some point.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I think the cylons are a steaming heap of signifiers desperately in search of a referend.

No, because all the evidence we've seen suggests that human-model Cylons are original beings, not copies of preexisting humans.
Which is why I think Adama's not a Cylon -- he's got a son. The Cylons wouldn't be so obsessed with human-Cylon cross-breeding if they'd already done it.

What evidence? I'll grant a lack of evidence for copies, but I can't recall any evidence for original beings.

Caprica!Boomer seemed pretty clear that she was Sharon, not a copy with Sharon's memories. I don't think we have any reason to disbelieve her, or any reason to assume she's unique.

If Adama's a Cylon, then who is Lee's real father?
Tigh, obviously. Because he'd do anything for Adama.
Has Adama actually taken the Cylon detector test?
What if he's a Mark 1 Cylon, which proved to be too human and were removed from service?
(I'm feeling more than ordinarily evil this morning.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Has Adama actually taken the Cylon detector test?
In "Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down," Roslyn tells Baltar to do a test on Adama, and Adama tells him to test Tigh's wife. Balter goes back and forth between the two tests. I don't think he ever finished the Adama test.
