A WARNING
to anyone who hasnt seen the latest episode and plans to,
SPOILERS FOLLOW.
You might want to wait until after you've seen it to read this topic.
My brother's GF found this on the BG wiki. I think it's likely that this is, in fact, just a coincidence... but if so, its a pretty damn big one, what with the apocalyptic imagery and everything else thats described:
en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Re...ns#Earth
"The area the landing party arrives at appears to be the Brooklyn side of New York City. The landing party is next to a broad river and across that river to the left is a wide bay. The other shore appears to be the edge of Lower Manhattan with a destroyed skyline of buildings. The camera pans to the right over what is ostensibly the East River until the last two seconds of the episode, where at the far right edge of the screen stands a wrecked structure with which appears to be a heavily abbreviated roadway. It appears to be the East Tower (Brooklyn side) of the Brooklyn Bridge. However, it should be noted that the information on this is incomplete. For instance, many speculations as to the gas giant that Kara Thrace sees in her journey from Earth (as first explained in "He That Believeth In Me") claimed that the giant was Jupiter, when this was later disproved.
IN WHAT MAY BE A COINCIDENCE [emphasis mine], not far from the Eastern approaches to the real-life Brooklyn Bridge in Brooklyn, New York and close to the northern shore of the borough, there is a building owned by the Jehovah's Witnesses. It is called "The Watchtower". The relevance is that the song that the Final Four heard is actually "All Along the Watchtower" by Bob Dylan. Further, the building is situated very near if not the exact place the landing party stands at.
The landing area actually appears to be the Temple of Aurora, thus bookending the episode. When the episode begins, Lee Adama is looking up an illustration of the Temple in Pythia's book. It shows a dome structure near a body of water. As the episode closes on Earth, the landing party appears to be at the ruins of a domed structure by a body of water, as described by the illustration.
