Something that people seem to be missing is that a resurrection ship only spits out new bodies, not flight suits or Vipers, nor would it have allowed Starbuck 2.0 to rejoin the fleet, if for no other reason than, at the time, the Cylons didn't know where the fleet was. I wonder if it may be the handy-work of the “Beings of Light” from the original series?.
That is what I’m thinking..
I would love for it to be the Ship of Lights. If you go back to the original series when Starbuck wakes up there are 5 robed beings with him in the room. The entity John can be seen as a Head 6 and Head Baltar. Either Apollo or Starbuck’s uniform is pristine white after the encounter with the Beings. In the new series Tyrol makes the comment that Starbuck’s viper is as clean as if it were just made. Apollo, Starbuck, and Serina(?) come back and they instinctively know the way to earth as if they have been programmed. The same goes for Kara. She subconsciously knows the pathway to earth. I do believe that Ellen will be back. I believe that Cavil may have her. I’ve always felt that Cavil knows more about the 5 and their motives than he’s letting on. I also read that Dean Stockwell, Michael Trucco, Joan Vernon, and the guy that plays Tyrol are shooting a BSG movie together. I’m hoping that will finally give the backstory on Cavil and what his role.
