In reply to this comment by Skeeve:
Ok, good points about the non-humanness of angels. I can accept that Gabriel was very androgynous in that scene/movie. But what about Lucifer then? He is most definitely a masculine character. Kinda seems like they're attempting at having both interpretations instead of one or the other.

^enoch:

this is why gabriel is known as the angel of resurrection,and his punishment/duty is to stand watch over the four watchtowers- north(might be south,too lazy to check)and will utter no sound until the end-times(book of john,gabriel blows his horn).

Sorry to single you out enoch, but the idea that Gabriel blows the trumpet in the end times is not found anywhere in scripture, the earliest source for this is from an Armenian manuscript from 1455, and it reached the English language in Milton's Paradise Lost. As for not uttering a sound until the end times, the Bible specifically names Gabriel and the angel who announces the births of John the Baptist and Jesus (Luke 1:5-20 and Luke 1:26-38 respectively) hence his title as the Archangel of Annunciation.

Yes there are many different stories about angels, many of which contradict each other, but the standard beliefs as written in the Bible and accepted by the major churches stand on their own.

I know I am picking at a movie you guys enjoy immensely, I'm not trying to attack your taste/choice, I just think it's a little odd the way they chose to portray it. Either way, I don't really know anything about the movie or its universe so I'll shut up about it now .

lol..naw..you got me..you got the tater.my fault for being lazy and just posting stuff offa my head.didnt know about the paradise lost deal..thats a nice lil nugget.

gabriel has been many things in scriptures,messenger,voice and teacher(muhammhed).
the incarnation i am most fascinated with is the arch angel gabriel of the resurrection,who along with uzriel,rapheal and michael gaurd the four watchtowers.the apocryphal books have a much richer history concerning gabriel than canonized scripture ever will.
if you are interested in such things allestier crowley and don milo duquette are fascinating reads.

A lot of comments on how good the movie is here. I have never seen it, but from watching this clip I know I wont because it made one of the mistakes that I really hate. Gabriel is a masculine name, hence the feminine Gabriella. Even though I don't believe in any of this stuff I'd like it if people got the story right. Gabriel is male. Just as I wouldn't appreciate it if a movie mistakenly made Apollo female I just don't like it when movies/books make Gabriel a woman. It's unfortunate, because the movie sounds like it is pretty good otherwise.


get it right?
ok..here is "right".according to the 25 apocryphal books based on angel mythology:
1.angels are androgynous,which this film depicts quite well in tilda swinton.
2.gabriel in particular sided with lucifer along with 1/3 of heavenly hosts and lost their bid to "sway" god.according to myth gabriel was destroyed by god,resurrected and then absolved of all prior sin.this is why gabriel is known as the angel of resurrection,and his punishment/duty is to stand watch over the four watchtowers- north(might be south,too lazy to check)and will utter no sound until the end-times(book of john,gabriel blows his horn).
3.gabriel is told to be the size of a sun and for any mortal to gaze upon his true form would be instant and painful death.thats why the arch-angels use lesser angels to do their bidding concerning humanity.
4.this movie is based on a graphic novel.

if religions cant even keep their theology straight,how can you expect a writer or film-maker?
this is just material i pulled off the top of my head,there are massive VOLUMES of material to sort through,and much of it contradicts each other.

but maybe your deal is just with gender naming,in that case i cant help ya buddy.

Starbuck is an angel. She has been, perceivably, since the very beginning of the show. We cant really know for sure, wether it was real kara up to the eye of juptier, and then an angel, or if it was angel kara all along. Most theories ive read, see Kara as being the one true angel since day dot.

Hera was the best DNA of the last of the colonial technological genus. She represented everything that was good in both the colonials, and the skin-job's (who were ultimately a re-creation of the final 5's race of cylons).

Her role in the film was to impart these beneficial traits onto the rest of humanity on earth, in the hopes that they can break the cycle of humans and non-humans going to war with one another every few thousand years. Instead of just telling humanity to stop building machines of war, without regard to safeguards, and hoping for the best....change humanity, attack the root of the problem. Thus, Hera.

Angels don't always have to be pure and good

The other skinjobs didn't get resurrection, as Tyrol killed Tory, which prevented Anders from unifying the 5 minds of the final 5 to regain the knowledge of resurrection. Presumably a large chunk of the skin jobs died in the last moments of the colony fight (the Cavil's side certainly was wiped out, as his entire fleet was parked at the colony, and the nuclear missiles from the dead raptor pushed its orbit into the event horizon shortly after galactica jumped to earth.)

All along the watchtower wasn't anything meaningful other than as a method for starbuck to plot the correct jump cords. That it was a well known song has no bearing on the storyline at all, just a cool song.

Well, Homo Sapiens should evolve on any planet that's very similar to earth, so its not that much of a shock.

Starbucks rotting viper/corpse may of been an event to trigger her into finding the way back to earth...the REAL earth, and not the final-five's home planet. Either way, the last Starbuck we all saw, post-juptier, was an angel.

So does that mean, in Heaven, every time you're trying to get some sleep on a Saturday morning, some asshole knocks on your door and tries to sell you a copy of The Watchtower?

It's actually not "All Along the Watchtower," but "Heeding the Call."

This is modal, but it's dorian, not phrygian. Hate to demystify this, but it's just a combination of the oft-used chord progression from Jimi Hendrix's Along the Watchtower with some noodling in a pentatonic gamalon scale (1,3,4,5,7). McCreary does a nice job with this show, but most of the iconic themes (The main title, the tribal drumming, the pulsing synth cylon theme, etc.) were actually created by composer Richard Gibbs in the mini-series. Bear mainly added the ethnic Irish, (LOTR/Titanic sounding stuff )and middle eastern (Hanz Zimmery dudek and vocal stuff) stuff, as well as riffing off the miniseries material.

Blech... after listening to those, I much prefer McCreary's version.

It's actually not "All Along the Watchtower," but McCreary's original piece ("Heeding the Call") that preceded "All Along the Watchtower" in season 4, episode 10. Bear mentions in his blog that the plan was to initially use "All Along the Watchtower" in this episode ("Someone to Watch Over Me"), however the melody was too simple, so Bear chose this song instead, "pretending" that it was "All Along the Watchtower" (which is the song that awoke the Galactica final four; they actually wouldn't have recognized this song).

Yay run-on-sentences and quotes and confusion!
