	The reason I point out this particular passage in the commentary, Is I believe that RDM has given away much more information than intended. what does he mean by the side of angels and if there is an "Angel side" is there a "Demon side or Fallen Angel side" as well??? Things that make you go hmmmmm..... Now you may be asking yourself why the bloody frak am I discussing this on the Colonial Seal page? Every time I look at the Colonial Seal, it looks more like a winged angel than a bird or a phoenix..... Just thought I would share my thoughts on this.

			::''(Thank the Gods to the person who transcribed it)''
			:That would be [[User:Steelviper]]. And personally, I think RDM's usage of "the side of the angels" is just meant as a synonym for the side of the Colonials, i.e. the good sides. One of the things you notice when transcribing podcasts done by writers is that they tend to have an insanely large vocabulary (see also Podcast talk: pages for RDM's Word of the Week) and that coming up with synonyms has become their second nature. --[[User:Catrope\|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope\|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope\|e-mail me]])</sup> 16:58, 23 August 2007 (CDT)

	Okay, I'm trying to do this properly now.....:) Caprica 6 refers to herself several times as an angel or an angel of God. In the Eye of Jupiter podcast commentary (Thank the Gods to the person who transcribed it) there is this little tidbit of information: "I felt that they woul- because you, the audience, know there's no way they're giving them the Eye of Jupiter for Baltar, it's kind of a jerkoff to go out and come back, and that really the only reason that it existed was for Baltar to give this information to Gaeta. And we just decided that, you know what, Gaeta can discover this on his own. Which is a- ironically the way it was in the original story outline. Gaeta was going to discover that information on his own and tell Galactica about it. And somewhere in the drafting we decided that- to give- '''''we wanted to give Baltar something that made him be trying to be on the side of the angels, still.''''' He still doesn't see himself as a villain. He still doesn't see himself as completely part of the Cylon agenda."
