IMHO, it’s a dream ending. If you were looking closely when the nuke went off, it took out a big portion of the fleet. Which based on the head count could make their survival a moot point. And I can’t see them letting their guard down that way. They would have posted pickets all along the frontier to warn of approaching Cylons.

OR….it could be a money thing. If money is tight, they could spend next year filming a gorilla campaign in the woods of west Canada and cut back on the rendered space scenes. They wouldn’t be the first tv show to do something like that.
