That's what makes shows like The Wire, Breaking bad, and Sopranos so good when u can look back at some episodes at the show and it symbolizes u how a character will die on some :ohhh: shyt

Concerning a characters death in Battlestar Galactica reimagined series.
Death of Starbuck

-Starbuck approaching steps where construction work is being done.

-Lights go out when the Commander calls her name as she climbs steps. And stays out until...

-She leaves the steps.

It sounds like I'm reaching here but the whole ep was about her and destiny and people that died and shyt, it would make sense if you watched it. That part was what made me think it was curtains for her. She dies at the end of the episode.

Repped. Dumb fukking bytch. I pretty much fast-forwarded any scene with her in it during the 2nd half of Season 4.

Snoop and Chris were the bishops on the chess board as they attacked diagonally.

Also in the episode where Omar testifieS against Bird, he's in the back and helps a guard with a crossword. The guard names a person and needs the second name to which Omar replies "Aries, same people just different names".

He enters the courtroom and tells Levy they are the same "I got the shotgun you got the briefcase". Same people, different name.

I could dumb out and list about 50 more from "Breaking Bad" but I'll just add another obvious one from season 4:

Season 4, Ep 12 "End Times":

It is one of the greatest (and one of my favorite) writing techniques. If done right, it can be genius and really open your eyes and make something have longevity.

wow, one episode later. excellent example of foreshadowing :alright:

It is an excellent example of foreshadowing. I guess if you were confused, and didn't know that foreshadowing has nothing to do with how much time has passed between the foreshadow and what it's hinting at, it might not be.

I dunno what's more :snoop: the fact that you didn't know that, or that you actually tried to be clever about it.
