Exactly...they've got 10 episodes to answer tons of questions in something other than a neat and tidy manner. I think they'll do right by us viewers though...

Re-watching the episode..

direct quote

"They are not human; they are cylon. All of them. "

"The thirteenth tribe; a tribe of cylons, came to this planet, and called it Earth."
- Tigh

Looked carefully at the centurion mask as well; definitely different from the original 1977 variety.

Also rewatched the flashback by Tyrol. They only showed him and two other skin-jobs. Didn't show anything else.

Dang good stuff.

Yep, it was a planet of Cylons. So who nuked them and why?

I agree, the centurion mask is not the old '77 model, but also slightly different from the current centurion model too. Interesting, but not a significant issue...yet.

I thought Tyrol's flashback showed a few other skin-jobs in the background, on the right side of the shot before it panned left and zoomed-in on Tyrol. More skin-jobs in Tigh's flashback too...but even more interesting: not a single centurion in sight in either flashback.

Dang, it just keeps getting better and better!

Then this begs the question:

If the Cylons called it Earth when there got here ( yes here

)... and perhaps thought up the name after they left the humans... I suppose that has to mean the 5 that searched for and found the colonies put the word "Earth" in human mythology? Interesting idea.

I am totally lost here. So Kara was human and she is dead in a crashed burned out viper ship, on what they called Earth. So who created the Kara hybrid? Anyone want to try to explain that one to me?

With regards to Kara, we just don't know what she is. Is she a human, a Cylon, a ghost or a time-traveller? That whole issue is wide open to conjecture...hell, even Leoben is freaked-out by it...

I counted 2 in Tyrol's flashback; not sure about Tigh's. But yes, no centurions.

Lots of questions, few answers.

That is the 1,000,000 dollar question.

Or a clone... remember she had an ovary harvested on Caprica after going back for the Arrow...
