The coolness of this is that it brings us back to what vegetariansushi and I was on about earlier.
As people, the Cylons are very young and represent a wide range of human behaviours. What I see in Leoben is him getting so hooked on Starbuck's response to him in Flesh and Bone that he has fixated on her.
He's recognised there was a connection and has translated that in his head to there HAVING to be a connection now and always. Ironically, in trying to force it on her he's denying her personhood in exactly the same way she did, right down to the psychological torture.
