DANIEL?
Dude. It would be too creepy if Kara's father was number seven and named Daniel Thrace (not to mention, why didn't Kara have a stronger reaction to hearing the name) since I wrote that frakking story with no spoiler information.
But like...why else bring up the Sevens as artists? I'm worried it's just a retcon to explain why there are no sevens and that Daniel was a nonstarter. But it sort of sounded like maybe they never got beyond the prototype before John nuked the line, but the prototype was okay?
But then, it makes the Nicky retcon doubly pointless if Kara is also like Hera. Which makes me wary of declaring victory.
Man, I will be so impossibly disappointed if this isn't true now: curse you show!
Although (while I never considered the whole "travel at exactly lightspeed" slowing time thing nor a lot of the stuff about where the downloading came from) I do consider at least some amount of moral victory that I did speculate correctly that the Final Five made the other models in an attempt to stop history from repeating itself and frakking up supremely.
Now I just need confirmation that the hybrid is sekritly changing reality (no, not even I expect to get that one!) and I'll be satisfied. :p
Oh, and that Kara has never happened before, that would be cool too.
Final brief thought, I still hate John Cavil but I LOVED him here. He's fascinating and brilliant. Clearly he wiped all the other copies of their memories of the five.
NO RLY. If Daniel is Daniel Thrace I...will not have words for how awed/freaked out I will be.
REALLY. SHOW YOU SHOULD NOT TEASE ME LIKE THIS. IT IS CRUEL.

As for Kara, still going on the assumption that you were right, didn't she shut Sam up right after he spoke Daniel's name? And Sam said they were all glowing? I thought she was doing that to prevent her discovery. And so I was thinking that Leoben knew Kara was a hybrid? Or maybe she's not a hybrid (cuz the others would know too?) but Daniel was a part of her life and had a strong effect?
I was troubled by the fact that there was no human representative present as the Cylons learned their history and therefore the history of the war with the Humans.
I liked Cavel too as the angry child -- and loved what he did to the FF and how he was involved with them in some significant way as they made their way to Galactica and the fleet -- but I'm still a bit thrown that not only is Ellen one of the FInal Five, but she's the frakkin' Borg Queen.
Hurray for Boomer figuring it out. GO free will!
I'm a bit annoyed that there was no indication of the social aftermath of the mutiny other other than Adama's refusal to initially allow the use of Basestar tech to save Galactica, which I assumed was not merely out of a wish not to taint her since he had intended to taint all the ships with Basestar FTL upgrades. I know there is limited time to tell the final story, but we can't skip over important bits, people!
Gah. And no preview for next week this time! WTF!

I don't think Kara would have been trying to stop people from working out what was going on or she wouldn't have been tearfully confessing to Sam that she thought maybe she was number seven when he was out of surgery? That sounded like she still felt lost.
I LOVED Cavil here. But I'm going to try and go into why in more detail when I actually review this sucker properly.
I was also disappointed about the lack of aftermath though. :(
There was an American preview on youtube! Let me find the link:
