BSG 4x4

[darcydodo]

I'd been thinking a couple weeks ago that Gaius' den of orgiastic iniquity looked, in some ways, like a Christmas-y version of a Mithraeum. Except I doubted that they'd have bothered to incorporate such odd aspects of ancient religion. And then what do they mention in this episode, but Mithras.

Plus lots of images of gods and goddesses, and mention of Athena coming full-grown out of Zeus' head, so all-in-all it was a happy-making episode for me colonial-religion-wise.

I loved the Zeus statue, though. I will probably end up making an icon of it, because, shiny gold thunderbolt!

The other aspects of the episdoe were mostly just more than a bit odd, and I'm not quite sure what to think of the bizarre ways our Four are acting.

various cylons were in fairly close contact with Tigh on New Caprica, what with the torture and all, and they didn't seem to pick up on who he was.

Well, yes, but that was before the nebula. It's not unthinkable that something changed that made Tigh's cylonness noticeable to 6. Also, even if she had no super-cylon senses, if Tigh is down there every day for no good reason, and she knows the five are "close", then she might suspect.
