I could be totally wrong here, but I get a feeling the "final five" are a totally different Cylon generation than the Cylons we have seen in BSG. As its been said, what is happening now has all happened before. Seems like some sort of vicious circle.
Plus, this whole final five in white robes and Starbuck smack of the Ship of Lights. Not that we're seeing the same thing, but it seems like there is a bit of a "nod" there from Moore. I need to listen to that Podcast.
