Talk:Sharon Valerii

Was she reprogrammed or especially created?

Was Sharon an 8 programmed for a mission to think she is human or was she created for this mission? This is something which has been never fully explained in the show. Though it seems unimportant at first, it partly defines Galactica Sharon's character.

If she was programmed to think she was human her orginal programming was either overridden or hidden deep in her core reduced to its basic, which made her actions during "Downloaded" seem like of a person who suffers heavy amnesia. If she was just created for her task it would really make her unique amongst the cylons who seem all to be created with some sort of standard personality just changing from model to model.

Presumed Death?

While it's POSSIBLE that she died on the resurrection hub, given the fact that she bolted before Helo and the other Sharon arrived and then left again she should have had ample time to escape to one of the many other surrounding baseships. I don't mean to speculate (since her fate isn't shown onscreen), but given the fact that she's a fairly major character and that her death isn't explicitly shown, television conventions would usually hold that she likely survived. I may alter the text to note her fleeing of the room, but I'm betting we'll see her again. --Steelviper 14:49, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Now that Leader Cavil's dead, she'll more than likely assume that mantle. Beyond speculating, I think it's safe to say that we'll see her again, since D'Anna let Boomer be. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 15:06, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

She may well be alive in many possible ways. We can speculate on a future role for her, but for now she was last seen on a ship that was destroyed. Would not want to write that she is certainly dead, but it seems reasonable to document that we were not shown any escape and presumptively she's dead.--Bradtem 18:31, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Obviously, we'll go with what we've seen. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 20:07, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good. Document the facts, let the reader to the interpreting/presuming/etc. I'm fine with the text as it is presently written, and this will likely be resolved more definitively within a week or two anyway. --Steelviper 21:59, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

The Podcast has confirmed that she survived. -- Gordon Ecker 09:26, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
