The Infinity Symbol in Caprica
The infinity symbol has long been a reminder of the possibility of endless possibilities. It brings hope to a cruel, concrete world of black and white. Perhaps that is why the cylons chose to use it during their funeral ceremonies on the most recent episode of Battlestar Galactica, “Islanded in a Stream of Stars.” To the right we see a ceremonially used infinity symbol to aid in the funeral prayers for fallen cylon comrades via the Propworx Battlestar Props Auction.
In Caprica the infinity symbol will harken an important role. Many characters are intricately tied to the mystery behind the symbol and what it means to them – though some are unaware of it’s influence entirely. In the preview clip for the V-Club we see Lacy leading Daniel to a door with an infinity symbol affixed to it. What lies behind is so profound that it could be intricately interwoven into the curves of infinity as if it were at home there. ∞
