... informed the future, and not the other way around. Ok, I can buy that.

I wouldn't be surprised though if they kept with the original series concept though and have the colonial survivors show up in pre-history earth, presumably to settle, build the pyramids, sphynx, etc. before losing their technology in a cataclysmic event--another war? If you look at that area where conspiracy theory meets history, such as Graham Hancock and Jim Marrs and Whitley Strieber, their ideas are converging on a "alien race from other planet or alternate universe come here in prehistory, give us technology, are worshipped as gods, and then disappear after a hi-tech war." I personally don't buy it, but it's fun and interesting stuff, and if there's a single buff among the creators or writers of the show, it may influence the outcome of the current BSG series.

OK, so what do you think they're going to find when they get to Earth? Did you write about this?
