I'm going to have to keep up your pattern of having three Cylons :P

Sharon Agathon - I really have a weakness for characters that kind of hold between the "good" and "bad" sides in a story. There's a lot of characters this applies to in BSG, but Sharon's probably my favorite. I was a sucker for shipping her with Helo, and she's the only Cylon who really goes entirely into rejecting her Cylon identity, which - not healthy, but interesting. Plus she's a smartass.

Caprica-Six - I kind of like her for similar reasons to Sharon, except that she consistently stayed on the other side of the line and was never even really tempted away from her Cylon identity. But she's also a very in-between character, which is only accentuated by her direct role in the attacks on the Colonies and then key role in the overall plot arc.

Ellen Tigh - Because she gets drunk and cheats and everyone hates her. I love that she's this weird combination of hilariously Machiavellian and yet also hopelessly romantic - she fucks with Tigh all the time, but then commits all sorts of desperate acts to save him. And seriously, I love her because she pisses everyone off and they kept her around, anyway. It doesn't make me forgive them for who they didn't keep around when they should have, but it does amuse the hell out of me.
