In the BSG remake, Col. Tigh was revealed to be a Cylon, one of the "Final five", and the father of them all.
Terry = man of the Earth, Terran
Carter = Rubin Carter, the boxer wrongfully accused of murder, basis of the Nelson Algren novel "The Devil's Stocking", in which there is a word-for-word transcription of the Ashtar Sheran extraterrestrial message for humanity.
Battlestar Galactica once again resonates these events with terrestrial humanity's struggle to enter outer space.
