(Never got around to watching all of them before.) One of them, from "Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I" caught my attention -- not for the scene itself, but for the lead-in to the scene.<br /><br />In a cut <a href="http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/episodes/season01/112/deleted5.html" target="_blank">pede-conference turned awkward morning-after conversation</a>, the High Priestess of Vague Mysticism (gotta love Television Without Pity!) starts expositioning about why the early Humans left Kobol in the first place and went off to found the Twelve Colonies -- because there was some kind of war about a "jealous god" who demanded to be elevated above the others... or something to that effect. That suggests that this whole Cylon religious thing is somehow tracing its way back through several thousand years of history. It lends more meaning to the phrase "all this has happened before", too. And it kinda makes me wonder about the meaning Six's line about the "end" of the Human race in tonight's episode.<br /><br />I guess that god really <i>was</i> jealous, huh? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Jason Abbadon</b> <br /><small>Member # 882</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2005,7,26,21,31,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 26, 2005</span> <span class="timeformat-0">09:31 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Or they have no real plan and make it up as they go along... <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Harry</b> <br /><small>Member # 265</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2005,7,27,2,33,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 27, 2005</span> <span class="timeformat-0">02:33 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Well, at least they're better at hiding that than that whole chaotic TCW thing in <i>Enterprise</i>.<br /><br />I've just watched the whole of Season 1, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
