Okay, we've got a TON tonight.
Spoiler: Ellen and the Five brought monotheism to the 12 Colony-created cylons, in order to give them morality. She, along with the other five, created the 8 human-form Cylons, in an attempt to end the human-Cylon war 40 years ago. The eighth human form Cylon, Daniel, was killed off by Cavil out of jealousy and self-loathing. In his rage, Cavil trapped the Five and suffocated them, resurrecting them on the 12 Colonies without their memories, in order to teach them a lesson about humans. But they survived the attack. That was one of several occurrences in the series, one of the other of which being the star of the Eye of Jupiter going nova, which cannot be explained by the Cylon at all. I believe these support my theory about the third party. Anyway, the hunting of the fleet, Boomer, New Caprica, etc. were all about Cavil continuing his sick lesson to teach the Five they were wrong about humans, and that he was right.
And Ellen has escaped...
