Battlestar Galactica-Final Season (4) 5/9/08--Faith

[GoodKingJayIII]

Did anyone else catch the Star Trek reference just before Nana Visitor came on? As Baltar's proselytizng in the background, he mentions something about "the undiscovered country."

Anywho, great episode. After a few slow ones, things seem to be picking up.

Actually, its a Hamlet reference. Baltar said both the phrases "the undiscovered country" and "shuffle off this mortal coil." Both of those phrases come from Hamlet's "To Be or Not to Be" soliloquy.

So, how would Baltar be quoting Shakespeare? Obviously, he must have learned it in its original Klingon.

Hah! Wow, I didn't catch the mortal coil reference, otherwise I might've placed it. Thanks!
