Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So the 5th cylon spoiler *was* true.
I'm not sure why Lee is so confused about Dee's motivation. She wanted to go out happy even though she thought there was nothing to live for.

I don't think he understood that - because suicide isn't in his head at all.
(And I thought when he left that he was more angry - possibly because it appears he's the child of two alcoholics not just one.)
And Kara is going to keep that secret.
I love how freaked out Leoben was by what the Hybrid has said to Kara.
And I knew that we'd find out who the fifth was right away. . . if that's what that means.

Did they actually say that the planet wasn't actually our Earth, but the planet that the 13th colony (of Cylons) decided to call Earth?

Dee's suicide: I was also getting a vibe that Dee wanted kids, but why bother with such a bleak future? But I think Gaeta would be more in tune with Dee's desire to end her life happy than Lee would be.
And Kara is going to keep that secret.
I loved how they set it up that Kara might tell Lee about finding her own dead body, but once the news of Lee's other love dying hit, there was no "So, you wanted to tell me something?" "Oh, nevermind, it's not that important." They just ended the scene.

Juliebird - exactly.
Kathy - I don't think I heard THAT. The flashbacks certainly lookly Earthesque.

I forget, beyond the final fifth cylon, was there another cylon still left to be revealed?
Either way, I'm so glad they got the FF out of the way off the bat.
I just had a sad thought reading over on TWoP: with Leoben so freaked over Kara, I doubt we'll see much of him anymore. I'm still trying to wipe the taste of the second X-Files movie out of my brain.

Officially, there are 12 cylons but I could swear that there are theories about a possible 13th cylon - that could be Starbuck. . . because what the hell is she?

My first thought after the reveal of the cylon inhabitants of Earth was that the follow through is: if the inhabitants of Earth spread out to the other colonies, then by default all the colonies are populated by Cylon decendants of those that escaped Earth. Everyone is a Cylon. But the episode never hit on that. But I'm also really really fuzzy on my BSG lore.
Also, what the hell with finally making a character interesting (again) only to kill her? Why does character death bring out the good writing and the tight focus?
