We see the flashback of Tyrol in that marketplace, and it seemed like a planet full of lots of different kinds of people, not just 12 different models. Is that right?

Yes.

This was the first thing that struck me, There's a fracking whole lot more than 12 models here!



That planet is Earth? We’re not going to find out, “Oh, there’s this other Earth over here...” This is the only Earth we’ll see?

They have found Earth. This is the Earth that the 13th Colony discovered, they christened it Earth. They found Earth.




Still not buying this answer. My main reason for saying it's not the 'real' earth comes from the prophesy. They've said it thoughout the show and even reminded us in the previous ep during the jump dreams. A leader with a terminal illness would die before reaching Earth. I know from Jossverse prophesies are tricky things, but this seems iron clad.

I don't think that Ron Moore lied and I don't think that reaching Earth has ever been the goal on this show; it's more about an internal journey, about surviving and learning what being human does mean.

What if the leader was Kara Thrace? She did die before they reached Earth, and it's Starbuck that led them there, not Laura Roslin.
I know that she wasn't ill like "having the cancer"ill, but something has been eating her inside from day one, a mental disease of self-destruction.
