They seem to be saying that the thirteenth colony was all Cylons, they went to this planet and ‘called it earth’. Maybe it isn’t the real Earth (bait and switch)!
...or this is all some sort of Matrix like projection..
Knowing how Ron is it could be..
Why the split? Was Kobol the human AND cylon homeworld? That implies those humans and cylons had a war, destroyed the planet, and survivors solved the problem by literally going seperate directions.
Then the 12 human colonies created their own cylons and created the war we saw in BSG.
But what did the cylon centurians do? Create skin jobs that took over, then had the internal cylon civil war we see in last season and destroy Earth? And being more advanced, they merely do it 2000 years before the colonial humans?
So the cycle was repeated on both Kobol AND both sets of colonies?
