Here's and excerpt:
"According to Kate Vernon, "You'll definitely have a few "ah ha" moments. But there's a big chunk of what's been happening on the show that this movie will show the moments right before. You'll get a big piece of the puzzle from "The Plan." It'll just slide right into focus. The movie will open up the show for fans in a big way, because there's a giant piece missing and this will show you the bigger picture."

Well I was hoping that it would fill in some of the missing pieces. Thanks for that. Speaking of which I just found two things online that really help to explain the finally for me and fills in some holes. One is a review and the other is an interview with the writers of the show. One of the things from the finally that was bothering me was how exactly did Racetracks loan raptor manage to wipe out the entire Cylon colony with just a few nukes? Hear is the answer "Moore: The final (edit) came out a little less clear on that level than I sort of intended... The idea was that when Racetrack hits the nukes, they smack into the Colony and it takes it out of the stream swirling around the singularity, and it fell in (to the singularity) and was torn apart. But as we were cutting the show for time, and taking out frames, one of the things that became less apparent was that the Colony was doomed. The intention was that everyone aboard the Colony perished."
Apparently they left the whole Starbuck thing ambiguous on purpose. I don't agree with that personally, but it's interesting that they did it knowing that it was going to piss a lot of people off. My real sore spot with it was that they never did much with the 13th tribe and the original 5 and their backstory. I feel like they were lazy in not developing that any further, but at least in this interview the writers explain what they had intended to show with them "Moore: The backstory of the original Earth was supposed to be that the 13th tribe of Cylons came to that world, started over, and essentially destroyed themselves. There was some internecine warfare among the Cylons themselves that was supposed to be another repetition in the cycle of "All this has happened before and all will happen again." Even they, who were the rebels and split off, left to their own devices, there was enough of humanity left in them that they destroyed themselves."
I still feel like they could have done a better job of wrapping things up, and there are somethings they did that I don't like but at least these will help to explain it.
