Ok, you've been warned. As the camera panned showing the colonists standing on "Earth," who didn't expect to see Taylor (Charlton Heston) kneeling by a broken Statue of Liberty? "You Maniacs! You blew it up!" Or a later thought, Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) from "The Matrix," saying "Welcome to the real world." Sadly, this is probably the only way the writers could have represented Earth. They could have done what the original series had done, brought the colonists to the 20/21st century Earth. Or, to the delight of Star Trek fans, to the 24th.
For some reason I decided to have a look at the SciFi channel forum entry for the Revelations episode. At the time of viewing there were over 19 pages of entries and growing! Watchers had deduced that the final images were of the remains of Ellis Island and or the Brooklyn
Bridge. A large stone cross and a car laying on it's side were also discovered.
The cross was very interesting. The Cylon's are a monotheistic culture while the "human" colonists are polytheistic, like the Greeks or Romans of the past. I saw bbs entries refering to Boltar as a Jesus-like figure. What does it all mean? I guess we'll have to wait until next year and watch Doctor Who and Stargate Atlantis to tide us over until then.
