The image serves for a quick glance, but if you look at it sideways or question the illusion of reality, it is shown to be without any real substance or depth.But... they were making this crap up as they went along, and this explanation mostly fits the facts in a stunning sweep of retcon to achieve something that almost works. (Except for Saul Tigh. Saul Tigh was the part that always made any explanation break down. But we'll leave that be and chalk it up to "TV writing" - because that's what this is folks.)I presume Ellen and Boomer will reach the fleet next episode after a four month chase and some more will be revealed - with the Cylon fleet looming out there...somewhere John/Cavill now has a real reason to pursue: the final five can reimplement Resurrection. This also gives him a reason why he cannot attack to destroy the fleet. The tech would be lost forever. He has to get them back alive.Rendezvous: "The Colony"I presume as well that we will finally have our destination set on the return of Ellen to the fleet. The "colony" which was the birthplace of the humanoid Cylon models presumably supports human life. It is the place where Resurrection can be redicovered on board the EarthCylon ship the Final Five used to make the original voyage from Earth to the Colonies upon - and it is also a place where Humanity might establish a non- irradiated, permanent home.Looks to me that the BSG and the Rag Tag Fleet has its final heading. Possibility: I invite you to consider the possibility that R.D.Moore will not answer how it is that Starbuck was brought back from the dead before series' end; instead, that question will be left purposefully hanging without an answer...except maybe on the new Caprica series.I don't think he will do this....but I am no longer certain that he won't.</blockquote>
