They’re not giving any clues at all as to “when” the Colonists will find Earth, though they indicated not to read too much into the musical choices as a timing clue. They chose songs that they liked and thought fit for various reasons, not to indicate that the Colonists are going to descend on the Woodstock music festival.

Opa Jeph, that’s an interesting thought, but given the ancient buildings the Colonists themselves found on Kobol, it would seem more likely that the tribe that left for Earth would have built the pyramids, etc.

Trev, I like the idea about the Earth of our future, destroyed and abandoned.

Whatever the reality turns out to be, I doubt it will disappoint. Moore and Eick have really created a superb series far superior than anything the original gave us (and I was a huge fan of the original; I have the boxed set on DVD).
