I have to admit - as tortured as this was I kind of like the answer. No metaphysics (at least yet) and the timeline mostly holds true. We have to assume that Cavel - at least - knew about the "five" and could hide all those "extra" bodies on the resserection ship for so long - but that's small potatoes to the larger issues that would have been raised. Using relativistic space travel to explain the time difference was subtle but genius, I thought - as soon as it was raised I thought "damn, I shoulda thought of THAT!" Still - I would love to a see an official timeline someplace - the explanation may make more sense than it ever did... but damn, it's still labyrinthine.
