beccatoriaReal thoughts and updates and such forthcoming. I liked this episode and decided to cheer myself up by making THIS:
A Cylon Family Tree, because I thought perhaps they might need a chart to keep track of it all. Cut-tag because it's a big image and also because it has...implied spoilers from Someone to Watch Over Me.
Notes:
1. Yeah, I know, Tory and Tyrol were never actually married, but it gave the thing a nice symmetry and they were a couple and all. It looks prettier, and way more incestuous this way.
2. No, I don't particularly buy into the idea that Sam somehow downloaded into Liam/Liam somehow downloaded into Sam so almost didn't include that link, but, I figured, HEY, MOAR LINES. Plus if it was true and then Sam Anders managed to be both Caprica Six's father and son, that would be lolarious.
3. Yes I know that Sam and Kara are married in addition to having frakked, but that would have been really hard to show on the tree with just an "=". Hence the red line and "=" compromise.
4. Yes. This entire family tree is basically an excuse to prove that Ellen Tigh is Laura's great-grandmother. Deal with it.
And now none of you have any excuse to be confused about who is related to whom.

Basically I agree it's MUCH more ALL GREEK TO ME than MELROSE SPACE. I kind of love the messy cylon family in its parallels to a pantheon of gods because the "incest" strikes me as very similar. It's like...not really so gross/an issue unless you need it to be for the story - i.e. the awesome twistedness of what Cavil did to Ellen where clearly his visual similarity to her father and her status as his creator are...definitely issues and creepy ones because of the way both of the characters react and think about it and why they did it.
But something like Tyrol/Boomer or Tigh/Caprica doesn't really bother me in anything like the same way. Or something. Anyway, now I'm actually seriously discussing my crack!family tree. Which is never a good sign.
I am fascinated by your point about Starbuck and the son/father split there. I'd TOTALLY never considered anything like that. I'm also not sure how I feel about it, but there's...definitely something interesting in that. I need to think about it more, definitely.
