For example, the main ship got trashed at the end of the first Robotech series, the story of which is similar to that of BSG (big arsed ship trying to get to Earth, fighter pilots going out to battle not-humans bent on killing all the humans, the home world gets nuked good and proper, etc.) Off hand I can't think of any other shows where the main ship is destroyed at the end of the show, but it is rather fitting.I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there are potent echoes of Virgil’s the Aeneid in BSG. The stay on New Caprica thematically matches with the diversion of Aeneas’s fleet to Carthage. If Kara does learn something important from far side of life and death and then related that information to the rest of the refugees, that would thematically match up nicely with Aeneas’s visit to the Underworld. However, if this thematic parallel continues, then the refugees will conquer Earth once they arrive.In terms of following plots laid out in the original series, I wonder if we will meet Count Iblis. Baltar seems the most susceptible to the promises he would make…</blockquote>
