I read your recap of the past 3,000 years and it seems our timelines match. PHEW!
Ironic Zarek never got to see Lee begin governmental change he probably wouldn't have approved of anyway even though all his politics about moving on and accepting we're no longer bankers or lawyers or gardeners should demand that he love it.
Zarek saw Adama, Roslin, and Lee as some sort of monarchy, so even though Lee is making changes that he should be thrilled with, no, I can't imagine he'd be pleased because it wouldn't be him making the changes. That was the biggest problem in accepting anything Zarek had to say. He believed NO ONE in the fleet was capable of instituting change and being a good leader accept for himself.
Also, that crack in his quarters is CLEARLY the result of his addiction to CHEWING ON THE SCENERY. Honestly, Adama, your manpain has ruined the ship. I HOPE THE CYLON CEILING WAX STICKS TO YOUR MOLARS NEXT TIME YOU TRY IT.
This had me dying. :)
Re: Tory and Galen: It would make *more* sense if it were Tory and Sam who were madly in love in their past lives. However, I got the sense in 'Escape Velocity' that Tory had an interest in Galen. Cally was wrong, they weren't actually having an affair, but if Galen had been more willing I could have seen it happening.
Re: Daniel: Like you, I would expect Kara to have had more of a reaction if that was her father's name. However, if her father was the last surviving Seven who barely escaped Cavil's wrath, then he likely would have changed his name before going out into the world. And, keep in mind, the Sixes all seem to have taken different names as opposed to every other Cylon model. Do you think Ellen will explain that quirk to us?
Thanks for clearing up the Boomer timeline. Knowing she was already involved with Cavil prior to being tapped to play Mommy to Hera, would help to explain her hatred (?) of the child. After all, she and Galen had talked about having children, she did want them at one point in her life, and then suddenly she wanted nothing to do with Hera or procreation.
And I felt Boomer's discussion with Ellen about Tigh's hate for her had to do with what Ellen did on New Caprica, betraying the resistance and, by extension, him. I think Boomer needed to hear Ellen's POV because Boomer had done the same thing, betrayed the fleet and Galen, while having no knowledge of who she really was. If Ellen honestly believed Tigh would forgive her, it means Boomer has hope that she, too, will be forgiven.
