Well duh, its a cliffhanger. You aren't suppose to understand the greater implications and meanings yet. It is when the story doesn't bother to explain its twists in a timely and logical manner that it fails in this regard. There have been plenty of hints along the way that BSG is more than just colonials and the 7 skinjobs. The final five have always been presented as something special, and until they explain what is so special about them, then I don't see how you can make the judgement that the world they created is inconsistent. There are greater powers at work than just humans and robots which has been hinted and shown since season 1.I think that listening to podcasts and following production notes while also watching a show has a tendency to kill some of the magic. People expect the writers to have every detail of the show worked out and plotted in advanced from start to finish, but just isn't how the writing process works, especially in a TV medium where there are a whole host of factors the writers can not control (actor availability, budget, screen time, getting cancelled or renewed, etc.)I can only speak of Lost, but BSG doesn't share that's show's problems which is mainly the ever so slow pace of the show. Lost is a show that supposedly has interesting central mystery that is far too little to spread across 5 full seasons. So the producers in an effort to make the story last throw far too many questions out than they answer. If Lost was plotted more like BSG, then the Oceanic survivors would have found, opened, and explore the hatch plus discovered why the plane crashed by the end of season 1 (and then Jack would have surrendered on their behalf to the Others and accept their new robotic overloads by the end of the season 2  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> )</blockquote>
