Holy frakkin’ frakkity frak frak.
Mind. Blown.
We have to wait another six months, minimum, for the rest of this story?
Who saw them reaching Earth now?
A nuclear wasteland.
All this has happened before and all this will happen again.
Obvious now: Cylons and humans, once, long ago, slaughtered each other in a nuclear confrontation on Earth.
Some Cylons, and some humans, made it across the galaxy, only for it all to play out again. Or the humans already were across the galaxy, and the Cylons sought them out, to forge a new alliance that would reconcile the two peoples?
Yes, we know that in the Caprica prequel, Cylons are created by the humans.
But what if that happened totally independently?
All this has happened before and all this will happen again.
And what if the new skinjob Cylons were created by the ancient Cylons? Thus the raiders and centurions being aware of the Final Four, while the skinjobs could only sense them and were programmed not to be aware of them?
And they were programmed by the ancient skinjobs. Who somehow were programmed not to know themselves, or programmed themselves not to know themselves, or the Final One programmed them not to know themselves?
This is why the Cylons believe in the one God; the Earth, when it was destroyed, was primarily monotheistic.
Kara is the harbinger of death because she was the one (why?) who led them to a dead world.
I have more to ponder. But this was utterly amazing, astounding and compelling.
And Moore and Eick are brilliant. Just a couple hours ago, I was obsessing over who the Final Cylon is.
That’s almost besides the point now. They did probably the only thing they could do that could make me not freak out about having to wait six months to find out the identity of the Final One.

Looks like we are going to have to wait a little while which sucks
OMG, I was blown away also! I knew that the 4 of the 5 would probably be revealed somehow last night, but never in a million years did I think they would make it to Earth only to find it a nuclear wasteland! Frak is right, my mind was blown also! Lots of food for thought in the episode last night.
Incidentally, I finally got around to watching Razor last night as well, awesome! Six more months, how are we ever going to last that long?
I can’t believe that I waited about 15 months for BSG to start airing partly delayed because of the writers strike, now I have to wait some unknown amount of time for the show to start airing again. Am I crazy to wait. This is easily the best show on TV when it is on.
I don’t think it’s OUR Earth but another planet. The few images of the 13th Colony planet didn’t have our familiar continents. If BSG is in the past then perhaps the 13th Colony was on Mars, our dead and mysterious neighbor.
