I read your recap of the past 3,000 years and it seems our timelines match. PHEW!
RELIEF!
And yeah, good observation about Zarek. Even in his first episode he's drawing attention to Apollo's callsign and privilege; we know he views Adama as Zeus. He'd be unable to see beyond that privilege and recognise the good idea.
I'm glad you found the scenery chewing funny. I almost macro'd it but figured it'd mean having to watch more of Adama and these days little is worth that... :p
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.
Yes, definitely, although I got the feeling that that was less a subconscious and powerful connection with Galen the way it was with Sam when they were switched on, and more a conscious attempt to seek connection with another Cylon, and Galen was the one around. That said, yes, it does work.
I agree that it's more likely that Daniel got a fake name, especially if he was hidden by Ellen (or the FF in general) rather than dumped as a cruel trick by John as they were. But I did think of another thing that, sadly, undercuts the potential for him to be Starbuck's father.
If she's half-human half Eight-Models Cylon like Hera, why doesn't she, too, have mystical cylon cancer-curing blood? She's in the military, her blood type is on record, more than that the Cylon in the Farm would have gotten hold of it too.
I suppose they could either ignore the issue, explain that not all Hybrids have that "blood type" the same way not all humans have the same "blood type" or even explain that due to *mcguffin handwavey crud* hybrids only have that blood type in-utero thus also explaining why another transfusion from Hera is not possible in treating Roslin (although I have no earthly idea how that could make any scientific sense.)
You make good points about how Boomer probably saw more similarities in her and Ellen's situation that even I'd previously realised. It's especially important to remember that at the time of the conversation, I don't think they're aware that the other four know who they are, anyway.
