Oh I know what hybrid your talking about, the one attached to the baseship. My mistake! That would be a good choice conciderning how strange they act.

The song was originally by Dylan, but Hendrix covered it. The version used on Galactica was clloser to Hendrix's cover, 'cause of the wicked guitar riffs.

I've seen that. The way it moves during the zoom-out proves to me it's a part of the Hubble picture they used for the nebula.

Agreed. It's a photo element. Besides, if this show was to use the ship of lights (and that may already be doing just that), I doubt they'd use an actual ship. Weird visions and maifestations that are not who they appear to be would suffice.

Initially I think I was upset by the inclusion of the Dylan song. I'm less sure now. There needs to be a justification for it. If they're receiving signals from Earth that might be one good one. Kara's magical re-appearance was surreal, but not at all unexpected. I evidently missed the giant space-ball. Very cool that we see Earth in that last shot, but if anyone busts out the hoverbikes I'm outta here.

Are you referring to his comment that the music represents the opening of the door in their minds(to the possibility of being Cylons), rather than any actual signals from Earth? Or has he said explicitly that it's a Colonial song.
I was hoping it was some sort of beacon from Earth that was designed to interact with the remaining skinjobs. Perhaps so they'd be aware of what they were, and could prevent themselves from doing anything untoward if their programming kicked in.

From BSG Wiki: Bear McCreary discusses the use of the Bob Dylan song:
I learned that the idea was not that Bob Dylan necessarily exists in the characters' universe, but that an artist on one of the colonies may have recorded a song with the exact same melody and lyrics. Perhaps this unknown performer and Dylan pulled inspiration from a common, ethereal source.
