Battlestar Galactica: Sometimes A Great Notion re-cap

Holy frak.

The 13th episode (or 11th not counting Razor) of the final season of Battlestar Galactica did not disappoint. I know that some has been lamenting the lack of cohesive direction the series has been heading, but boy am I happy that finally some questions are finally being answered even as new ones are being created. The revelation of the last Cylon may prove significant just yet (and I have a theory on that - see below). But with just nine full-lenght episodes to go I question whether or not the series can afford to play around with new plots and story arcs. We will see.



Some spoiler-free re-cap:

• Earth was nuked, that much we have always known - but how long ago was revealed.
• Starbuck and Leoben finds something that freaks Starbuck.
• For the first time ever Leoben looks genuinely puzzled and frightened.
• Tyrol remembers something.
• Anders remembers something.
• Tigh remembers something.

Proper re-cap (the one with the spoilers)

• Earth was nuked 2000 years ago.
• All bones so far has been found to have once belonged to Cylons.
• Basically the 13th Colony were Cylons. Earth's humans were Cylons. Just a different form of Cylons to the one the Colonies created.
  
• Starbuck and Leoben finds the wreckage of Starbuck's Viper, and her charred remains.
• Dee gets back together with Lee for one final date, then kills herself.
  
• Tyrol, Anders, Tigh, Tory lived on Earth 2000 years ago.
  
• William Adama, griefed stricken, did not succed in killig himself via a Cylon. Great scene.
• Ellen is the fifth Cylon.

Some theories:

• Earth's Cylons can reborn, or at least the so-called final fives.
• In fact Ellen is being reborn. She is the baby inside Caprica Six.
• Kara isn't a Cylon, but she isn't human either. My guess is she is the first Cylon/Human hybrid.
  
• The ones who nuked Earth were humans, possibly Colonists. If not a schism has developed between the Earth's Cylons (who by then has forgotten they were Cylons).
• There is no 'Final Five', everyone is a Cylons. In fact we will see Dee, Cally, Billy, pretty much everyone whom we thought was frakked - back. Lame but Cally kicking Tory's ass would be wonderful.
