am looking forward to reading heaps of discussion once i am caught up and am done thinking up my own theories.
i think your point about tangential terrestrial cultures is good, and quite probably the fact that this is a sanskrit prayer has no further bearing than that (ie, it's not mucking with the mythology). for a while i thought that i was maybe taking the mythology much more seriously than they do, though after the kobol stuff, i flipflopped right back about that. but i am probably more geeky than BSG's writers, so i need to be careful to not overanalyze apparent inconsistencies.
the music is all sorts of awesome, and more so, how well it fits in almost every scene is just phenomenal. it's a huge part of why this series sucked me in.
