So you figure they're still going to be living on the ships, not the ground?
Well, I know it's very expensive for the show to shoot on location and money is very tight. I also read enough interviews that were done on set or at the studio to assume that, after the next episode, they'll be back on the ships. And would we really want to see New New Caprica? ;)
I will hate it if that's the case. Makes the whole show yet another American wankfest about how the whole universe is All About Them (sorry! nothing personal!).
Absolutely no offense since I will be pissed off if the intent was to make it an American city. I just really can't see Ron doing that. Yes, BSG is a American production, but it shoots in Vancouver with a Canadian crew, they have British actors, and a worldwide audience, I just can't see them saying that travelers from outer space would automatically pick the U.S. as the place to land. And the people who are arguing (yes, arguing) on the SciFi forum that they landed on Ellis Island since it's symbolic (get it? they're immigrants! :p) I think is insulting.
I want it to be Kendra!
Hmmm, maybe it could be Kendra. Yes, they nuked the ship with her on it, but could her consciousness have been downloaded? I mean, we don't know that the final five can't be reborn somehow. If they really had been to earth before, that would have been, well, a long time ago.

And would we really want to see New New Caprica? ;) Well... I guess not. But it does raise questions about how they can actually ever end the story. If they don't ever find a stable home, it's kind of a problem. Still I think it's most likely they'll journey on beyond Earth from what we've seen of it so far.
And the people who are arguing (yes, arguing) on the SciFi forum that they landed on Ellis Island since it's symbolic (get it? they're immigrants! :p) I think is insulting. Wow. I can't tell you how unimpressed I am by that. I just... if that really turned out to be the case it could be the final straw with me and this show this year. I already feel like it's lost a lot of its realism, putting concepts and shock moments before characterisation ... I couldn't really ever give up watching, but It'd definitely add to my disaffection.

If they really had been to earth before, that would have been, well, a long time ago. Yup. I think nearly anything's possible now that they've had Kara be reborn. And they've definitely still left a lot of mystery about the true nature of the final five. I mean the final Cylon could even turn out to be Head!Six ... that would be really funny! :D Gaius could be all 'she's in my head! No REALLY!' ;) Ok, maybe not...
