New BSG Timeline

This past Friday’s BSG almost collapsed under the weight of its multiple revelations. My more hardcore fan friends have watched the episode several times trying to figure out exactly what was said and how it fits into what we already know.

From Kris, we have an update BSG Flowchart:

I think this is a good chart, but I have a few questions. I thought that Sam said by traveling at subluminal speeds, the Final Five were able to arrive at Caprica during the First Human-Cylon War and bring it to an end; however, they traveled BACK in time to do so (at sub-light speeds time slows and goes backwards, right?). Now, if Galactica has been traveling at “faster than light” speeds, they would be moving forward in time as well as space, and when they arrived at Earth, they were actually in “the future”, making the destruction of Caprica and Earth simultaneous events (relatively speaking). Also, Ellen said that the terran Cylons re-discovered resurrection. Where had it come from before then?

I expect The Doctor to show up next week and explain it all. Anything anyone wants to add?
