| ==Literature==
| |
| | |
| ===Prose===
| |
| | |
| ====Edward Prima/"Dark Day"====
| |
| '''Edward Prima''' is a [[Colonial]] novelist known for his book ''Dark Day''.
| |
| | |
| Adama, who had ''Dark Day'' in his personal library on [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'', gives it to [[Laura Roslin]] as a gift in the episode "[[Water]]". She says that she considers it to be "one of those classics I've never gotten around to reading." Given the context of their conversation, notably Roslin's reference to ''A Murder on Picon'', it is likely a mystery.
| |
| | |
| Roslin returns the book, to Adama's consternation, after the prognosis of her disease sharply worsens in "[[Flight of the Phoenix]]".
| |
| | |
| ===="A Murder on Picon"====
| |
| '''''A Murder on Picon''''' is a mystery novel, apparently taking place on [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Picon|Picon]].
| |
| | |
| [[Laura Roslin]] brought the book with her on the trip to ''[[Galactica]]'', ([[Water]]) prior to its decomissioning ceremonies ([[Miniseries]]).
| |
| | |
| ===Poetry===
| |
| | |
| ====Kataris====
| |
| '''Kataris''' was a [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Caprica|Caprican]] poet<ref>The name "Kataris" is probably a reference to the Roman poet [[Wikipedia:Catullus|Catullus]].</ref>. Lt. [[Joe Palladino]] owns a bound edition of Kataris' poems and threatens Col. [[Saul Tigh]] with lines from one:
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>From the darkness you must fall<br />
| |
| Failed and weak, to darkness all.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| Kataris is quite well-known amongst colonials. [[Kara Thrace]] recognizes the quotation, recalls from which piece it comes, and knows the poem's quality relative to his other works. [[D'anna Biers]] identifies Palladino's copy of one of Kataris' books on sight in a recording she is editting ([[Final Cut]]).

| |
| '''Monclair''' was a [[Colonial]] painter. One of his original paintings, a depiction of the [[Cylon War]], adorns [[William Adama]]'s office on the [[battlestar]] ''[[Galactica]]'' ([[Bastille Day]]). He is apparently of considerable renown, given [[Gaius Baltar]]'s impressed reaction to the piece.
