I don't LOVE love Cavil, like the way I love Laura or Bill or anyone else really, but I LOOOOOVE what the show does with him. I LOOOOOVED his speech about the limits of being human and I just love that he EXISTS to explicate so brilliantly the other side of the humanism question. Because we have a whole lot of romanticizing "being human" and we have a whole lot of people wanting to meet in the middle, but he's the ONLY ONE voicing the other side of the question (see e.g. Natalie/Cavil icon I refused to give up in the hopes that these questions would COME BACK). And I love that he was the orchestrator of much of this and that it raises all the questions of limiting self-awareness and knowledge and and complexifies EVERYTHING and I just . . . trails off into *flail*
