I can think of a way that All Along the Watchtower might not be so shattering.

We get to hear the characters seaking in English because the show has been created for an English-speaking audience. We have no idea what language they use to communicate.

i donno, it might be that my suspension of disbelief is suspended by steel cables or something, but i liked it. relaly this could bring in a whole bunch of different elements...like time travel, or probes like you said. (i think it was the voyager) that probe that was went out with human music and art and crap...did that have all along the watch tower? if it did that should be interesting ( ... )

You already know most of my opinions on this episode, but 9 months to wait! /venting

I'm tempted into paraphrasing Romo's quote: They're going to find out Baltar's pregnant before we get to see what the hell happens with all these new threads.
