Quite enjoyed the finale! Good to see Starbuck and Lee get "starring roles" again. All and all very solid and reminded me of Season 2 and 3 with the quick pacing and tension.

Can someone please refresh my memory as to why the Cylons are so eager to find earth? I thought the original intent for them to find Earth was to complete the genocide that they had begun and they kind of let the Galactica et al continue on their path so they (the remaining humans) could help guide them to the final colony of humans and eradicate the entire species.

EDIT: I just remembered it is their destiny to find Earth, but why? I know the whole human-Cylon hybrid race is to take form and repopulate the galaxy staring with Athena's child, but why a hybrid race in lieu of the Aryan Cylons? I missed that whole deal.

Also was it ever explained why the 13th colony was such a secret for the humans themselves? Why does the book of Pithia tell of Earth but no ones knows how to get there? Why the secrecy surrounding Earth's location and the descendants who colonized it? Was that ever explained or do we just chalk it up to lost history?
