The Cylon War ended forty years ago. The Cylons served humans for a long time prior to their initial rebellion, and more, the 'humans' fought the Cylons for a long time. So you could guess that the Cylons and the humans have lived with and without each other for at least 100 years, my guess is more. The same way D'Anna had the Centurion kill her over and over, and erase the memory from their logs, its the say way the entire Cylon 'race' could erase the memory of the Final Five. My thinking is that the original Cylon Civil War happened even earlier than the Cylon's war with the humans. Which would indicate that humanoid Cylons are a lot older than we think. At any rate, I don't for one minute think that either humans or Cylons have an 'alien' influence. The third force you are talking about will be spiritual in nature, and I believe it is that force driving Starbuck, Head Six, Head Baltar and in fact, the Final Five themselves. However, it will invariably be a product of the BSG Universe and not any 'alien'. I also question your theory on the Fifth Hidden cannot be a pilot. Tigh, Tory, Tyrol and Anders had something TURNED on when they got to the Ionian nebula. They gave off no Cylon signal previously, it was AFTER they got to the Ionian nebula (or should I say as they got closer to it) that their Cylonicity became known to them. This is a very important piece of understanding. The Fifth Hidden Cylon hasn't quite gone through that process yet. Clearly there is some other purpose to this last hidden Cylon's remaining hidden. Some grave, important task best served by continuing secrecy. This however does not rule out a pilot. Until that Cylon trigger goes off, for lack of a better analogy, until the Final Hidden Cylon announces itself on the network, it could still be anyone. Oh and the Dean Stockwell Cylon model is called Brother Cavil. The ‘humans’ created the Cylons more than 40 years ago. The Cylon War ended forty years ago.
