No, it's maybe a nod to the famous names, but not a parallel. Gaius Octavius Thurinus became known as Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus after he was adopted by Gaius Julius Caesar.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

SCC: seemed like set up for the final few episodes, didn't it?
I'm enjoying SCC a lot. And BSG. When Friday night has engaging sci-fi all is well in my world.

I've actually given up on SCC. I had three eps on my tivo, and I realized that I was watching a rerun of something else rather than watch new eps of SCC. I just didn't care. I don't know why, but it's just not there for me anymore.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Gave up on SCC many moons ago, after all these chicks from the future started showing up.

Apparently, finding a bird in your house is a portent of a death in your family. So maybe Zack hadn't died yet.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was so not ready for that ep to end where it did - I was *sure* there was another act still to go!
Unfortunately, that also means that I completely didn't digest this ep and should probably watch it again. (Oh no. The horror.)

Another idea (I read at TWOP) is that the bird is trapped in his house much as Lee has felt trapped in his role as fighter pilot and son of his father.
But I can't help it, I really liked seeing him back in uniform.

Me, I thought the pigeon flew in from an SCC plot.

Hee.
There was a 51% chance that Lee wouldn't kill the bird.
