It almost hurts to know I'm geeky enough to have gotten it immediately.
I'm damn proud of recognizing it instantly.
Bible? You didn't catch the Mormon references?Battlestar Galactica... Liked the original as a kid. Can see now that a lot of the stories were ripping off the bible.
Didn't read the book of Mormon until long after watching Battlestar Galactica. The bible parallels are pretty obvious. What are the Mormon references?

It's been a while. Probably a website with more than i remember.
The twelve tribes of Israel searching for the lost 13th in the New World.
The survivors of the 12 planets searching the 13th planet, according to ancient texts.
They had a President, supported by the council of 12.
LDS has a oresident, council of 12.
Lots of Egyptian references by Joseph Smith, lots of Egyptian references in the setting of BSG. Helmets of the Viper pilots. Couple scenes where thery walked around either Egyptian sets or a Cheesecake Factory...
BSG marriages referred to as 'sealed.' Mormon-speak.

Well, like Freud said, sometimes a scifi gimmick is just a scifi gimmick.Just a centon, do the Mormons also use decimal units of time?
