We've known that ever since the mini first aired.

Me too. And the idea that it could be Sydney (Opera House! Opera House!) excites me to no end."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.

Having been to Earth several months ago, which now we see is destroyed...
Hmm....
of course, it could also have been some sort of natural disaster. a comet/meteor impact? Massive super volcano explosion that set off a giant tsunami that wrecked all/most of the major coastal cities?
Originally posted by marielabbott View PostI have no New York hate. But NYC has been used so often in so many sci-fi shows/films, that's it become cliche to see it's ruins, and BSG usually tends to eschew cliches. So I'm glad they went for (apparently) Sydney instead.
Oh, and random info, Indianapolis and it's surrounding towns is home to nearly 2 million people, and there is a serious lack of cows there.
Someone has to be there alive. Even the worst nuclear disaster or natural disaster...nothing is 100% fatal. There are so many people spread out so far across the globe, someone is alive.
of course, there is another irony...if earth is truly a nuclear wasteland, the cylons are the only ones that can stay. they were immune to the radiation on caprica, so we can guess that they're immune here too.
and maybe that's what'll be revealed. that earth was 'sanitized' to leave it open for cylon colonization. maybe that's what they learned from new caprica, that they can't co-exist with the humans, so they needed to remove them to have earth all to themselves

This is from BSG - Razor
Hybrid: Soon there will be four, glorious in awakening. Struggling with the knowledge of their true selves. The pain of revelation bringing new clarity. And in the midst of their confusion, he will find her, enemies brought together by impossible longing, enemies now joined as one. The way forward, at once unthinkable, yet inevitable. And the fifth, still in the shadow, will claw toward the light, hungering for redemption, that will only come in the howl of terrible suffering. I can see them all. The seven, now six, self-described machines who believe themselves without sin. But in time, it is sin that will consume them. They will know emnity, bitterness, the wrenching agony of the one splintering into the many. And then they will join the promised land, gathered on the wings of the angel - - not an end, but a beginning.sigpic
Don't forget to vote up if you like my ideas. (me <-- attention whore )

pretty self explanatory. tigh, tori, galen, sam, all struggled.
The pain of revelation bringing new clarity.
I think we saw that too. they found earth, and didn't even know it
And in the midst of their confusion, he will find her, enemies brought together by impossible longing, enemies now joined as one.
I'm wondering....six and tigh? he sees six as his wife which he murdered, and seems a wee bit fond of her
The way forward, at once unthinkable, yet inevitable.
which is cylons and humans working together
And the fifth, still in the shadow, will claw toward the light, hungering for redemption, that will only come in the howl of terrible suffering.
so...#5 'knows' that s/he is a cylon, but isn't quite ready to admit it.
I can see them all. The seven, now six, self-described machines who believe themselves without sin. But in time, it is sin that will consume them. They will know emnity, bitterness, the wrenching agony of the one splintering into the many.
this civil war will end with all the cylons un-allied. they will no longer be blindly committed to a single cause, but will all do as they all think best
And then they will join the promised land, gathered on the wings of the angel - - not an end, but a beginning.
so the 5th cylon will be revealed/found on earth. presuming that earth is the promised land, and not just a pit stop

The first half still puzzles me a little, "he will find her, enemies brought together by impossible longing." Could this refer to Saul and Caprica? Supposed enemies, him drawn to love of Ellen, her inexplicably drawn to the Five?
And the fifth, still in the shadow, will claw toward the light, hungering for redemption, that will only come in the howl of terrible suffering.
And yet, I'm really convinced that Baltar is not a Cylon. But who among the RTF still seeks redemption?

Originally posted by gravityStar View PostI've been asking myself; what is that building they are standing in at the end. Seriously, I've been skimming streetview pictures in google maps trying to find a building that matches architecturally. Big, stone base, almost gothic look to the windows, with steel supports creating a low dome at one end of the building.
I say that this is supposed to be a church or temple, but...
Does anybody know if there is a building in Real Life that matches this?
At the beginning of the epiode, they were looking at a book with an illustratio of the Temple of Aurora. It had a central domed structure with ribs that looked like the dome ribs lying on the ground.
They were standing at that temple.

They are standing near what is not St Aloysius' College, which has a large cross on one of the buildings, could be the same one shown laying on the ground. The bridge structure is very similar to the Sydney Harbor Bridge. They would be walking on the opposite shore from the Sydney Opera House, do I have to say Opera House twice.
Here is a link to zoom in and out and look at the surrounds of the opera house:

Or.....
D'Anna is the final five! One of the original Five 'stowed away' within the following 6 models to ensure that one day they could find the five again. It's a mad theory but I had to share that one.

Personally, I would guess that that's a goof on the writers' part. At the time that Razor aired D'anna had been boxed and the Cylons were down to six, even though when it took place all seven were active."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.
