Next week, the first part of BSG's three hour series finale will air. For some weeks now, I've been meaning to collect everything that I know and everything that I predict into one post and see if I can trash-compactor it all into some semblance of a theory, but I haven't gotten around to it 'til now. So here we are.
Spoilers here for every episode

And what if the Lords of Kobol are not gods, and maybe even not human or Cylon, but something else entirely?
I feel like Kara's Not!Leoben vision belongs to the same category as the visions of Baltar and Caprica, and those three are, with Roslin, the three most religious characters on the show. Roslin has visions, too--of Elosha. So we have two believers in monotheism and two believers in polytheism receiving visions. And then there's the opera house--shared by Roslin, Kara, Caprica, and Athena. (Athena doesn't seem to have much of a religious leaning, but she is Hera's mother, so she belongs there...St. Anne, perhaps?)

I figured there was always the option that if they were able to kill the cylon rebels they could go back to their home planets. or at least Caprica, because Sam and the other people left on Caprica survived, so I don't see why it isn't possible.
basically, I don't have any theories. even reading your theories makes my brain want to explode. I think Daniel is probably Kara's father. or if he's not, he's going to come back somehow.
but yeah..... brain is mushy mush. I'm just going to watch and soak everything up.

It's hilarious that you would say this, because I'd lay pretty good odds that this is NOT going to be resolved - because the writers themselves have no explanation.
In fact, that is, I am sorry to say, my cynical comment on all your interesting theories. I think you've done much more work than the writers do. I wasn't even expecting them to explain the replication of Kara's Viper, tattoos, ring and tags, any more than I'm expecting them to explain why her burnt-out body was on Earth instead of the "Maelstrom" planet where it belongs. With only 3 hours left in the series, I think we'll see a lot of personal stories (many of which I expect to lead to me crying), some mysticism and a few dramatic special effects. There'll be some "explanation," sure, but years, details, even causes, will surprise me.

No coherent answers, at all. :o(

I can't decide if I want to upload a bunch of BSG icons in honor of the finale or if it's not worth it, since I'd have no use for them a few weeks later.

Do you think if I work on it reeeally hard, I can be cynical in time for Friday? Because just at this very moment, I feel mostly frustrated, disappointed and slightly betrayed. (Not to mention foolish for having feelings of that magnitude for a tv show in the first place). I'm just not doing a very good letting go of the little dream I sort of didn't even know I had until now (now, when I know it can't possibly happen) of a last season packed with wonderful, memorable little Lee moments that really show his character come to full fruition. I need to get jaded and detached pronto, or I won't be able to enjoy the show for what it is.
But I'm not detached. I'm mad.
