dianora2Pertaining to the prophecy of the "dying leader."
So I was perusing the Battlestar Wiki and saw that the prophecy about the leader who is dying of a wasting disease is meant to lead the people to their new homeland, and will die before ever reaching that land. For some reason I had been thinking, and I've seen this elsewhere as well, that the prophecy referred to (or even implied) EARTH. It does no such thing. It just says their new HOME. Which could be anywhere.
So, clearly they are not meant to stay on Earth -- perhaps it was just one big useless distraction for them, in the end? And they will wind up somewhere perhaps all together new and call it home.
Shoots to hell the theory about Kara being the dying leader, then, I think. ;)
Also, I saw someone note elsewhere that Kara did indeed bring humanity to its end: we saw it right there on Earth. She was indeed the harbinger of death. Pretty cool.

This is so cool! I was wondering how this prophesy would be fulfilled. I like this, it means I don't need to worry about her anymore. :D
And yes, in "Kobol's last gleaming" Laura says that "The scriptures tell us that a dying leader led humanity to the promised land". Interesting that it must be PROMISED land. promised by who and when?
