Entertainment Weekly has run the above picture alongside an article of spoilers for the final season of Battlestar Galactica. Producer Ron Moore explains the rationale for putting Six in the Jesus position:
"Baltar's Six has proclaimed that she is delivering the gospel of the [Cylons'] one true god, so it seemed natural to place her at the center of the photo."They're presenting it as a semi-flippant way of giving simple spoilers, but one has to wonder if there isn't a deeper message about the show's theology here. Six hasn't seemed terribly messianic thus far (though other characters have, including Starbuck and Baltar), but I expect we'll learn a bit more in the 10 episodes to come. Keen eyes will also note that the positioning of the characters suggests a mirror image of the Da Vinci fresco, meaning Anders is in the Judas position... but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
