So say we all: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:44, 7 June 2007

The phrase "So say we all" is a concluding response to prayer in the Colonial faith.

In what is likely a continuity error, the word "amen" is used in dialogue in two episodes.
- "Resurrection Ship, Part II" (Fisk: "Amen to that.")
- "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II" (Cavil: "Lords of Kobol, we trust in your benevolence and praise your righteousness. Give the people of this fleet the wisdom to see the goodness and the strength of your servant, Laura Roslin. Amen.").
