or at least she'd gotten more to do as the 'dying leader'.
Ah, but I don't believe she is the dying leader. Pythia wrote that the anointed leader would never see the 'promised land'. She also wrote that the anointed leader was dying of "a wasting illness".
"And the Lords anointed a leader to guide the caravan of the heavens to their new homeland. And unto the leader, they gave a vision of serpents, numbering two and ten, as a sign of things to come."
Pythia foretells of an initial battle in which the Colonials are "led by serpents two and ten" and are victorious over their foes.
The Hybrid from the rebel Cylon's ship prophesies that the "dying leader shall know the truth of the Opera House".
So:
"And the Lords anointed a leader to guide the caravan of the heavens to their new homeland. Leading the caravan: Galactica.
And unto the leader, they gave a vision of serpents, numbering two and ten, as a sign of things to come." The fleet is forced to attack a Cylon base in order to obtain fuel. The attack is lead by twelve Vipers ("serpents numbering two and ten"). This takes them to the Temple of Hopes, aka The Temple of Five, where we find The Eye of Jupiter - a "sign of things to come."
Dying of a wasting illness - Galactica has certainly been doing that from the beginning - she's old and about to be decommissioned in the pilot of the series. By the last few episodes, she's wasting away entirely.
"The dying leader shall know the truth of the Opera House".
Well, YEAH.
The anointed leader would never see the promised land.
Galactica never landed on Earth. She delivered the fleet, and then she died.
Laura was dying, and she clung to her perceived role as the dying leader--which gave her strength and purpose. But she was wrong. It was Galactica.
