BSG icon and screencaps

darcydodoI made one icon and several screencaps from the webisodes. The icons that I have in my head do not resemble the one that I made, but I can't think where in the first two seasons the scene I'm thinking of is. Anyway, here is the icon; caps and some discussion behind the cut.
The icon that I initially wanted to make was one of a god statue or two just standing there, maybe as an artistic cap, or maybe with some "my fandom has Etruscan bronzes" tagline. But the first time Starbuck pulls her Apollo and Artemis statuettes out of her locker, in "Flesh and Bone," she just holds them, and I can't remember in what episode she actually stands them up on their own, though I'm fairly sure she does. So I figured I'd look in the heavily-religious webisodes to see what other statueness there was, but I couldn't get much more than these, none of which is what I wanted:
I also capped this, because it's so easy to make a libation comment about. But the proportions are wrong for any icon that I'd want to make (and I'm all about 100x100, since they just look better in my opinion).
I'm not sure what I think about the icon that I did make — really I need a better image in my head of what I want before I start fiddling — but I think I like it well enough. At least it will probably grow on me, and then I will add it to my icons, and then I will begin to like it still more.
Oh, and on the subject of Colonial religion, but not on the subject of icons, people have been talking about how Roslin writes Mars rather than Ares in her diary, and I couldn't figure out why I hadn't noticed that to complain, but I just remembered that she actually said Day of Mars, which admittedly is still inconsistent, but on the other hand, my mind just immediately went "Tuesday" and glossed over the inconsistency. Because "Day of Ares" just wouldn't sound right. ;)
At some point I may or may not talk about tonight's episode, but suffice it to say that I liked it.
ETA: There are spoilers for Exodus pt 2 in the comments.
