Didja Notice?
On page 3, we see Head Six laying on Michael Tigh's bed while he
sits on the edge of it talking to her. This may imply that he is
in the habit of engaging in sexual relations with her just as
Gaius Baltar does 4,000 years later.
On page 9, a ship of the Thirteenth Tribe's fleet fires on a
Viper that somehow comes into contact with the fleet. The name
of the ship is Anopheles, which is Ancient Greek for
"useless"!
Magnus Baltar sets a bomb to destroy the resurrection technology
on the Thirteenth Tribe's resurrection ship, also causing the
ship to crash land on the algae planet that will later be
discovered in the episode "The
Passage".
On page 21, Head Six tells Michael Tigh that
she and Aurora are both Lords of Kobol, though they do not
prefer that name ("We prefer other terms.")
She goes on to say that her kind do not interfere with
humanity's petty affairs, they only offer guidance. But Aurora
has never been able to follow the rules and has chosen to
interfere to help humanity. She is considered a "rogue god".
The Lord of Kobol called Aurora appears in physical form to the
Thirteenth Tribe on the algae planet in the body of the dead
Pythia. Since it is hinted
in
"The Final Five" Part 1
that Aurora will become Starbuck,
it seems to suggest that the real Starbuck did die in
"Maelstrom" and the one who returned
to the fleet at the end of
"Crossroads" Part 2 was actually Aurora with Starbuck's
memories.
At the end of this issue, Michael Tigh and Aurora-as-Pythia have
had a child.
"The Final Five" Part 3 reveals this child to be Saul Tigh,
making Saul the son of the goddess Aurora.
