Saul is sitting in his rack, and looking at the picture of his wife. He then burns out one of her eyes with his lit cigar... the same eye he loses on New Caprica. So what think you of the Watercooler? Forshadowing? Lucky/Unlucky happenstance? Just thought id throw the observation out there.

So, my apologies to Ellen. You were crazy, misguided, a wild card, and a wonderful presence, always there to mess things up and make it interesting. And in the end you did what you believed was right. May you rest in peace, with all the liquor the lords of Kobol have to offer.

She spared her husband having to give her the poison. As much as she wanted him to knock it out of her hands and come up wth a mercy plan, she knew her husband wouldn't go against the resistance."

Excuse me while I scrub my brain... Here's one for Chuck. Take a look at the colonial seal (the bird-in-a-circle.) Notice that the outer edge has several rays (or curved blocks, depending upon what you see as positive space.) The odd thing is, there are fourteen of them. Why not twelve? Does that mean anything? Perhaps 12 Colonies + Kobol + Earth? If so, why isn't fourteen a more important number in that culture? Also, compare that seal with the NBC Peacock logo. Bonus question: Who owns the SciFi channel?
