I LOVE THAT SPEECH SO MUCH. and yes it's "WRITTEN" but that's what makes it a meta-meta-speech. There is something supremely awesome about breaking the fourth wall by TALKING about the fourth wall, and in the context of cylonicity and the cycles of existence, it's just. PLZ LET THEM HAVE FILMED IT.
Cuz here's the thing: that episode had insane amounts of exposition presented in such a way that already drew attention to the fact that the show is scripted. So, if you're going to go there, go all the way!
And besides the fact I really enjoy Boomer/Ellen in the context of this latest arc, I feel like an additional Boomer/Ellen scene would have added given more context to Cavil/Ellen craziness simply by exploring a different Ellen/one-of-her-creations relationship. Of course, it could be that I just DESPERATELY MISS WOMEN TALKING TO EACH OTHER ON MY SHOW.
:( If they hurt Flipper, or Caprica, oh there will be WORDS.
Maybe Ellen will have angst about Flipper's existence because of her own daughter w/Daniel, KARA THRACE? *trying to find a possibly not terrible solution*
