The Cylons didn't have any real plan other that to throw temper tantrums throughout the universe because their creators didn't pay enough attention to them. And was more than likely to do it with Caprica, which is why one reason Caprica failed. That's the danger of this, is if the meta plot is drawn out too long, it can seem like the show has no direction and is just rambling places with the occasional adventure thrown in.However, I liked this episode. It also showed that those obelisk beings were aware of the people and did have a sense of compassion. After all, the kinos showed that Caine was sitting in the shuttle covered with blanket, then he said "Please I don't want to die." To which there was a blinding burst of light, then a shiny new shuttle caught up with the Destiny that was presumably hundreds of thousands of light years away.If you don't have any sense of compassion, they simply would not have responded.And it showed those obelisk beings were aware of the Destiny crew.The themes of the episode was saying goodbye. There can be only two outcomes to their situation, that somewhere along the lines they'll find some way to return to earth, like Atlantis did, or they'll never be able to return home.Because that's the one thing the show seems to ignore, at least so far, is the problems of relative time. The stones seem to be able to completely ignore that problem, but they've spent several months on the Destiny since they're arrival, they've been traveling at ftl speeds for most of those times, and they're so far that at below light speeds there won't be a solar system there to return to.As it is, there is no way to tell how much time has passed on earth since they've been on the Destiny, and so far only the stones seem to be able to ignore the problem of relative time.So I personally don't believe they'll be getting home. That would be the more plausible outcome.But, they could go the Voyager route and find some magical way to get home and destroy a major foe on the way. Personally, I hope not. But I'm not sure which way the show'd swing at this point.So perhaps this particular episode was also a more subtle way of saying  goodbye to earth.</blockquote>
