Doesn't really explain Bob Dylan, the Hummers, German Luger or the Messier Object 8
Bad writing? Just like having 12 inhabitable planets in a single-star system? Just like all the dropped plotlines? Just like the "and they have a plan!" bit, then we found out they didn't?
You are going to be sorely disappointed if you expect all those things to be explained in season 4. Maybe a few things will be retconned in, but their's no way they can fix all those errors and still have a halfway coherent story line. So just sit back and enjoy what comes, and don't worry about trying to explain all the inconsistencies.

I'm sorry complaining about these things is about as silly as complaining that the characters all speak english.
Think about it, it's impossible that all the characters from all those colony worlds speak a language any of us would recognize but you can accept that because it's necessary for the story.
the same with the dylan song redone, it's a song we know so we can identify it and with it, but it sounds different from any version we've heard.
That's an artistic vehicle necessary to tell a story to an english speaking earth audience.
The 12 inhabitable planets in one system defies comon sense so that's a different thing. I'm much more upset by stupid writing than anything else.
I might never forgive them for the episode where they had the viper pilot "Bulldog" appear and did some wonderful flashbacks where they shot to hell the entire time line of their universe for example!
That human piece of incompetent garbage currently holding the office of President of the USA is not in any way my president, I can't support a born failure. Same reason i was against the last nitwit.
Uh there's no reliable source for that information.. looks bogus to me. Some source named "the dirty daggit" provided this "information" and has absolutely no sources or anything to back it up, I wouldn't get riled up over an unconfirmed "insider" rumor.
"Did you really expect some Utopian fantasy to rise from the ashes?"
There is much speculation as to when and what time frame they will arrive at Earth on, perhaps they never will, trying to explain such things are guns, music and vehicles is silly, we don't know if they will arrive 15000 BC or 30000 AD, it dosen't matter, the story is, their journey, their struggle, their quest, not the end, people who fuse on about what year it will be seem more interested in the end and seeing their own ideas come tru, than appreciating the show for what it is.
I'm gonna laugh at us all when they land in the 1980s and the characters spend the last few episodes running around on earth discovering that they can jump higher than everyone else since the planets they came from had stronger gravitational pull. Galactica 1980s anyone? Funny show.
According to my boyfriend, who's a total DS9 addict, Ron Moore is rather known for leaving series open-ended. DS9 ended abruptly, not quite as badly as the Sopranos, but similar.

Actually, according to the original series, they don't occupy one system but several and nothing in the new series has contradicted this yet. Here's the evidence from the original TV movie:

"Imagination is more important than knowledge." - Albert Einstein
