Who is You?
I have read all of your BSG analysis blogs and find much of it interesting and thought provoking. With all the intracacies of the BSG universe it might be easy to over look clues. Until reading this blog I had kind of pushed out the later half of #3's vision in the temple of 5. "You were right" I never really puzzled over it...now I will. In addition, I think your theory that the journy from Earth to Kobol to 12 colonies has merit. I have often asked myself how the scrolls of Pythia which supposedly chronicle the journey of the 13th tribe apparently travel back from Earth to Kobol and then down the line to the 12 colonies. Your theory would explain that away. In addition... your theory that the clues to Earth's location are more signs of where they came from rather than where they are going is also plausible. People leave bread crumbs to find there way home not the other way around.
So, in keeping with that reverse logic, why should we assume that D'anna/#3 is talking to Baltar? She has just undergone a mind blowing (death inducing) vision. In fact it seems to me that her dialogue is entirely directed to the F5 particulary the one to whom she says, "I am so sorry." Maybe, she is still speaking to the one to whom she is appologizing? Mentally #3 is in a different place than Baltar. I don't think his presence registers at all with #3. Perhaps clues to "what is right" and "you were right" lay in dialogue between one of the D'annas/#3s and another character?
