His idea is interesting, but I think he is well off-base. Not because of the science, but because of the overall direction that the show has taken since the mini-series in 2003.
This version of Battlestar Galactica does not do cheery. I'd look for something more along the lines of Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, with Galactica going into battle against an overwhelming number of Basestars with much the same result.
UPDATE: From a blog on the Chicago Tribune, which has an interview with Ron Moore, the executive producer of the show:
Think that settles that.That planet is Earth? We’re not going to find out, “Oh, there’s this other Earth over here...” This is the only Earth we’ll see?
They have found Earth. This is the Earth that the 13th Colony discovered, they christened it Earth. They found Earth.
Honestly, I would not have all been surprised if Leoben read off Kara's Viper registration number and she had replied, "Nah, that's just the N-number. My flight's callsign was really Oceanic 815."
