I wanted to discuss it here first, and post the links to the props, but I think it's a very interesting connection that I wish had been made more obvious in the main show and wouldn't have required a prop auction for us to notice. --[[User:Sauron18|Sauron18]] 19:42, 2 August 2009 (UTC) | I wanted to discuss it here first, and post the links to the props, but I think it's a very interesting connection that I wish had been made more obvious in the main show and wouldn't have required a prop auction for us to notice. --[[User:Sauron18|Sauron18]] 19:42, 2 August 2009 (UTC) | ||
: The Infinity Symbol is part of the Cylon religion, and was introduced in late Season 4 of BSG ("Islanded," as you said). So, yes, it's worth noting.

Infinity Symbol in Cylon Religion[edit]
When I first watched "Caprica" I noticed that it contained a connection between the Monotheistic sect we saw there and the modern Cylon religion from BSG, which was the infinity symbol.
In "Islanded in a Stream of Stars" we witness a Cylon funeral, and although it's not very clear at all in the actual episode the Cylons are using various amulets which contain this exact shape. I noticed only because I saw the props go up in the Ebay auction back when the episode aired, and so when I watched "Caprica" I saw it as a clear connection, but I've noticed that it hasn't been exactly commented on.
Now, it's a fairly common speculation that this cult is where the Caprican Centurion's religion came from, but the usage of the same symbol is an even greater connection, and thus it's quite deserving of a mention, I believe. The reason why I didn't mention this before is that the pages showing the props went down when the auction was over, but recently I found an archival website of all the props that were auctioned, and I present the following four links as "evidence" of the props utilized during that episode that create this stronger connection between the monotheistic religions in the show:
