I've always thought of this episode as being the "defining moment" of the entire show. The bits and pieces given in the show seem to indicate that the Colonial-Cylon conflict is just part of a much larger conflict, a proxy war, if you will. The events portrayed in this episode could have been the inspiration for an series-long story-arc.
I would definitely delve deeper into Iblis' character and background which would very likely establish him as the Imperious Leader. Equally important would be to expand upon the situation between Iblis and the BOL and how he fell from grace, as well as the BOL's place in Colonial society. Are they "angels" or "gods"?

They are calling
From across the distant shore .
Children are a message that we send
to a time that we will never see.
