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.

I sure hope you can claim victory. I want someone victorious about this show. But it kinda kills the suspense for me. Kara's father? Okay. It was so much info given in such a short period of time.

Dean Stockwell was fascinating with Cavil, I do have to say. I was totally captivated by his rage. :-) This being is the reason 12 planets were nuked. (Other than a repeating destiny too.) I love that he is a totally irredeemable child. This may sound weird but he embodies what I like about Cylons. Their potential and desire to be more and to be not human. It was such a relief to hear someone express it. He was as frustrated as I was, 'Why did you make me this way?'

I always like responding to your reviews. Writing this made me find something I liked in this ep! And I hope victory is yours!

Yeah, I loved what they did with Cavil in this episode. Amazing. I'm going to go into more detail with it when I review properly.

I'm also glad I managed to let you find something you enjoyed in the episode. I have to be honest, I really enjoyed it. With a lot of nervousness because it was the kind of episode that had all these awesome FIRST HALVES of revelations. Now we need awesome OTHER HALVES of them to keep the level of cool going.

We don't actually have confirmation he's her father yet. Like...I think that would be the sensible way to go but...too much else doesn't quite add up for me to not be horribly nervous about the whole thing.
