Remember season two when Helo and Starbuck stop off at her apartment on Caprica . . . . . some swift guy on the Sci-fi Battlestar board posted this link which is setting the eggheads all abuzz over there:

It's the same design they found in the temple on the Algae Planet . . . on Starbuck's wall from a season ago.
Coincidence or continuity?
Katee Sackhoff, for the scene in season 2, was allowed to paint the wall - that of a disturbed personality - herself. Did the writers bring the image back for continuity in the storyline later on?
Tyrol knew about the image from his father so I guess its possible everyone in the 12 colonies knows about it . . . . . and therefore its no big deal.
Or its just a coincidence exposed by an overly zealous message board poster.
Or it means something about Starbuck's destiny.

How can you not, its rare that you find a show like this with solid writing. Considering how easy it is to take a good concept and drive it into the wall (Buffy after season 5, Galactica 1980)
The human race seems to be fairly religeous throughout this show and it seems to dominate them. We see it in the way that they deal with each other, the way that the President had that priest with her constantly in the first season. And the way that the people so eagerly took to the crusade of finding earth. In our society its likely that there would have been a sizable fraction that said screw finding earth, lets find the nearest porn palace and set up tents by the door. So to me, its likely that Starbuck painted that pattern on the wall due to being exposed heavily by a relative or a friend or Sunday School. You could argue that she is predestined to her being the one that grabbed the arrow of apollo, and it matches up to her wall paintings. But I think it might be a false flag to get us thinking that she's pre-destined. Just like Roslin was suppossed to be pre-destined to die before reaching earth (which could still happens, when they land in Alabama and she gets shot by a suspicious red neck)
Now if you go by whats happening now, and Starbuck is shot down and wandering in the wilderness, is she going to stumble onto the real artifact, or key that allows them to use the eye of jupiter?
Most religeous icons have to go through a period of great suffering before they earn thier stripes, so if Starbuck is indeed a savior or a messiah then this is all following a formula thats been laid out in every text based around religion that we've ever seen.
