Came over here from 13th_colony and... wow. You brought the Thomas Aquinas!
The thing that's always been so complicated and fascinating is, if the writers intend to keep Roslin around longer than her diagnosised six months - in other words, they either cure or find some fancy way to put her cancer into remission - what does that do to her faith and the prophecy itself? I can almost imagine a plot where there's a treatment available, and she KNOWS it could work, but it working goes against this new faith she has.
Note that in the first of Roslin's chamalla-induced dreams, she sees the military hunting for her. It expresses a remaining unease with the military and readiness to distrust which she consciously probably hadn't faced.
Something that just struck me: what if she was also prophecizing her own imprisonment in KLG2? Because they looked awfully like the strike team that boards Colonial One. (Of course, if their culture's anything like ours, the image of a SWAT team isn't exactly an unfamiliar one. But STILL.)
