I enjoyed reading your review and it crystalized something in my mind: Jane Espenson wrote us a huge, translated to film, fanfic. She wrote filler fic. And in that vein, I really did enjoy most of it. But yes, it would have been so much better and more a self-contained unit like Razor, if she had let it focus on one or two characters and let us see what was happening through those characters' eyes to keep everything in the context of the original episodes. I loved Simon's story and the relationship between him and Gianna. The relationship between Gianna and Tyrol worked well for me, too. And Punk!Six was fabulously bitter and I'd love to know what happened to her in those two years of prep for genocide to make her that way.
I was genuinely shocked when Cavil stabbed the little boy. Totally didn't see that coming, although I knew something would happen. Which means that there really wasn't enough set up for that specific murder. Was it a mercy killing? Was a temper tantrum? Was it completely cold and impersonal? Jealousy of some sort that the boy shared his name? I want to know these things.
Sort of unrelated, I finally (just now) figured out who that kid was. He played the young Sam Winchester in s1 of Supernatural!
