BSG S3 3x01 & 3x02 thoughts...
Well, well, well.
Well.
Loved the Kara thread; thought playing the munchkin was an unbearably apt and cruel thing to do. Am interested in where Leoben gets his hardon for Kara – Stockholm Syndrome? I don’t get the little hand hold at the end – this is not the act of a woman who has killed Leoben five times in a row over four months.
*loved* Sharon and Adama. Loved it.
Not too keen on Lee. He is a deeply moral man and for him to just give up and be someone who can only function when he has a war doesn’t do justice to the person I thought he was.
Love Tigh, he’s hard and obsessed and utterly focussed. I don’t like him as a person but the character is great.
Interested in the Cylon take on what their mission is. It sounds like Boomer and Six managed to pitch the end of immediate hostilities but didn’t in any way manage to convey a vision where humans and Cylons actually talk to each other. The Cylons turned up as an invading force and seem to have no concept of humans as potential equals. In which case what on earth are they trying to achieve?
Is the vision of human/Cylon relations where humans behave like Centurions?
They need Adama desperately.
Feel a lot of the war commentary is a bit on the cheap side. We already know this, guys, we’ve watched the Americans doing it for years. We know people are stupid and pretty and short-sighted and that it doesn’t work.
Loved the Roslyn/Zarek exchange

Six Management
I dunno and for right now, that works for me! LOL
Please keep making the distinctions cos God knows I *can't.*
There appears to be no continuity of consciousness between Avatar Caprica_6 and Downloaded_6 as witnessed by her waking up believing Baltar was dead.
It seems I need to revisit Downloaded again. The attack was meant to wipe out humanity. I would assume she'd think he was dead since the majority of humans were killed. By the same token, did Sharon know Adama was alive or not when she downloaded? There's all sorts of holes in the downloading I don't get. Like part of the connection is lost during the process.
This invariably leaves me speculating on what/how Cylon consciousness works and how come they share some memories but not others.
I'd say each of them has a core memory which then becomes individualized as the particular model experiences life. I believe all the 6 models feel love for Gaius to varying degrees but it is based on their experience with him. I suppose Caprica 6 is the QUeen Bee over the other 6 models.
I'm bathering again..LOL
Re: Six Management
I make the distinction between Caprica_6 and Downloaded_6 because Downloaded_6 had Avatar_Baltar - not to be confused with the real thing - and due to life experience is a different, older person.
As for poor Baltar, it's been literally YEARS since Baltar has seen her and he's been having a passionate relationship with Avatar_6 and trying to have one with Pegasus_6 in between.
Re: Downloading
Galactica_Sharon was shot in Resistance - Adama was still in a coma at this point. She didn't know.
