Because sooner or later, someone had to put it up.
For right now, we'll just go with speculation, then add stuff as we learn.
Anyway, today's crackpot theory:
If you assume the Time Loop theory for BSG, then my thinking is Head-Six and Head-Baltar are, for lack of a better term, the "ghosts" of the previous iterations of them from the last loop.
Go!

At this point, having them touch down on post-apocalyptic Earth left all my theories done, because it kills all the potential drama.
Here's Earth, and ... it's nothing!
I mean, that seriously feels like a "Jackpot is Sara Ehret's friend" type of last-minute swerve.
They're going to have to jump that hurdle before they can overcome the rest, and, oh yeah, they MUST explain how the Final Five came to be (and came to be separate from the rest), what the deal is with Phanom-Six and Phantom-Baltar, and exactly what the relation is between Earth and the Colonies (yes, I get that the Colonies had their history reversed, and that they actually started from Earth and wound up on New Caprica, but how, and why?).
When is the final half of the final season starting, by the way?

When is the final half of the final season starting, by the way? IIRC, early next year. I can check the TV Forum to make sure. |

My theory on everything:
Earth is nuked because of it's own Cylon problem. The whole "it's all happened before" thing isn't just a past/present/future" thing but also a "it's all happening at the same time" sort of deal.
The human Cylons have been around for ages and are like space missionaries, bringing about artificial intelligence-related evolution across the stars. On Earth, they find a horde of Torrie and Anders Cylons and one Simon Cylon who doesn't know he's a Cylon.
There is no real specialness about the Final Five. Indeed, we learn that each section of space gets randomly selected Cylons: five for infiltration (done at birth as far as Cylon babies being put in place of real human babies who are promptly murdered at birth) and seven to organize the local robots, with the robots themselves being told to treat the seven as if they created them to preserve the illusion that they are not part of a grand robotic revolution going on throughout the universe.
This ties into Cavil meeting up with re-enforcements from another section of the galaxy who discover their remaining fleet. This fleet includes our missing Final Fiver: Zack Adama.
Zack has been going around the universe, gathering up the remaining Cylon forces into an armada designed to find the true Cylon homeworld. Zack wants to know why the Cylons were created and confront the true creator of the human Cylons: Count Ibis (also known as Space Satan).
This is where the final batch of episodes lead us, as the Fleet and Six's Cylons race Cavil and Zack's forces to the Cylon homeworld to claim it. But Ibis wants to destroy both sides and reclaim his daughter: Starbucks, who he resurrected using his technology to create humanoid robots.
