DW thinks the 7 is Baltar because they mentioned something about Daniel (the 7) appearing in people's heads. I enjoyed getting the info and it seemed to make sense, but that wasn't quite the way I wanted to get it, you know? An Ellen/Cavill, Anders/other final 5 brain dump. Also, I really can't stand Ellen and am kind of annoyed that she is playing such an important role. Hell, I'm annoyed to see her again, period!
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

And as I said, the guy - really didn't react.
Yes he did. His face totally crumpled. Then he recovered and got back his poker face. But absolute terror showed through for a moment.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, I've rewatched BSG. I think making 7 Kara's father is a bit of a cheat, because there's no indication he ever made it to the colonies, is there?

I think you're onto something, ita. Unless John Cavil contaminated Daniel's amniotic fluid after he died on Caprica, and not after he died on Earth, which doesn't make sense since Ellen at that point, forgetful of who she really was, wasn't playing favorites with 7. I didn't see much of a reaction from Starbuck over the name either.
I'm so confused, though, Ellen isn't being counted as one of the final five anymore? She's the 0/creator that's been speculated about? That's... even more disappointing than her been a final fiver. Except, she still is a final five, isn't she? And where exactly did that come from? The humlons she and the other Five created? So they got their history wrong? Cavil erased not just the memory of Daniel from the humlons, everything and anything reminiscent of his existence?

If Ellen is to be believed she's no more special than the other FFers. She made the final intuitive leap to enable the creation of the 8 skinjobs, but they all contributed.
Oh, and I still hate Tory.

Prezactly. So somewhere along the way the history got messed up or deliberately smeared. Because it's Six, not five.

Skinjobs: Cavil, Leoben, D'Anna, Simon, Aaron, Six, Daniel, Sharon
Final Five: Tory, Anders, Tyrol, Tigh, Ellen
It adds up right.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My current working theory is that Daniel is the one who rebuilt Starbuck using "the lab" on "the colony."

If you've been on the 13 train, it does. But we've been told this whole time that there were twelve models. And so the final five should have been it. Don't get me wrong, I totally appreciate that the long-awaited fifth was revealed with the bonus of one more unknown cylon (which some of us were kind of expecting), who's existence lacks the drawn-outness of the final five, and who's identification will lack the drawn-outness of Ellen (given the amount of eps left).

Well, there are 12 models. There were 13. That's how I do the math in my head. #7 was always missing too, I suspect sloppily by the writers.
