I listened to the online trailers @ Scifi & did an MS WORD Search on the script posted @ http://battlestarfanclub.com/battlestar/bgarticle26.htm That “Kick Cylon ass, ” wasn’t in Ron D. Moore’s original draft. This Earth reference is in. But the “Elosha” isn’t listed as a character @ imdb.com
Ron D. Moore did stick to Earth but no Egyptian, Mayan or Toltec reference
MS WORD Search on "Earth".
ADAMA
"Life here began out there." Those are the first words of the sacred scrolls -- the first words the Lords of Kobol gave us countless centuries ago. They tell us in explicit terms that we are not alone in the universe.
(to Elosha)
Elosha, there is a thirteenth colony of man, is there not?
A murmur ripples through the crowd. He waits, lets it pass.
ELOSHA
Yes, the scrolls tell us a thirteenth tribe left Kobol in the Early Days. That they travelled far away and made their home on a planet called Earth... which circled a distant and unknown star.
MS WORD Search on “Flawed creation”
Look at us. We tell ourselves we're noble, intelligent creatures. Children of the Lords of Kobol. But we'll still let people go to bed hungry because it costs too much to feed the poor... we still commit murder for greed or spite or jealousy...
INT. LEE'S VIPER - CONSOLE POV
Lee listens intently.
ADAMA (WIRELESS)
... and we visit all of our sins upon our children. We refuse to take responsibility for what we've done.
INT. GALACTICA - STARBOARD HANGAR DECK - MUSEUM
Like a harbinger of doom, the CYLON in the display looms menacingly in the f.g., while Adama continues at the podium.
ADAMA
Like we did with the Cylons. We decided to play god. Create life. And when that life turned against us, we comforted ourselves in the knowledge that it wasn't really our fault, not really. It was the Cylons that were flawed.
(beat)
But the truth is... we're the flawed creation. We're the ones that tried to manufacture life and make it serve us.
(beat)
But you don't play God and then wipe your hands of what you've created. Sooner or later... the day comes when you can't hide from what you've done anymore.
(beat)
A day of reckoning.
