Battlestar Boss Dishes About the Show's End

Ronald D. Moore, exec producer of Sci Fi's
Battlestar Galactica, hinted to TVGuide.com about big developments in the final episodes of the series. Among our burning questions: Will the final Cylon be revealed early in the season, or at the bitter end? Moore was vague, as only a good show-runner would be, but
did confirm that we will see the final Cylon "before the very end." We have to wait that long? Frak!
We were also curious about how quickly we'll learn about what happened to Starbuck while she was gone. Moore said the details about her journey would be parsed out over the season, then added enigmatically, "Who she is, what she is [and whether] we trust the information that she says [about having been to Earth] will provide a lot of story in the first batch of 10 episodes. And the story of exactly who and what she is and how that'll happen is something that will develop more slowly over the course of time." Double frak!
And then, the $64,000 question. When we asked Moore if our heroes make it back to Earth, he laughed before answering: "They're going to get to someplace called Earth. We're going to end the show. This show has always promised that they're looking for Earth, and at some point you've got to get [there]. What Earth is, what it means and all those sorts of questions are closely guarded secrets." What a tease!
Any guesses on the last Cylon? Who or what do you think Starbuck is? What do you think they'll find when they get to Earth? -
