	I'm surprised at how strongly I feel the change there in the main title when it goes to Home instead of searching for a place called Earth. Just how profound that seems to have shifted the point of view of the series is really interesting.

	Ten months ago, that's them jumping away from the algae planet. With the sun going supernova. I really like this upcoming speech of Cavil's where he talks about what it was like to see a supernova and not be able to truly experience it, I mean, this to me was the heart of the matter in terms of his character and the Cylons on a very fundamental level about who and what they are and what do they want to be, they are machines that have been created to perfectly emulate humanity but they could be so much more and there was some bit of poetry and some bit of recognition of the majesty of the universe that Cavil could not see, could not experience in his true glory because he was limited by the human form. This is a being that if he had been allowed to be machine-like in a true sense, if he could actually be tapped into the sensors and divises greater than the human body would allow he could see, experience, feel, taste, smell, all the sensory adjectives that we use for our experience would be exceeded by what he could experience in that moment. If he could have seen X-rays. If he could have heard the solar wind, all of the things that don't make sense to us as human beings because we're limited by these organic bodies to a Cylon to a true Cylon by Cavil's lights who could be greater than all of that, who could experience it with all of the tools potentially at his disposal, he could have experienced a profound moment in the life of the universe, and he couldn't. And its the frustration and the anger of that which is ironically also a derivative of his human nature, of the humanity in him, of the things that make him specific to be Cavil also make him loathe what he is, also make him loathe the limitations of his experience.

	Dean delivers this stuff really well. He's really, he has a power and an intelligence and a malevolence to what he does in this and all the episodes with Brother Cavil and I always feel the white hot burning anger that's within the man, within the character. He's an extraordinary performer. He's really, really good. End of the act.		Dean delivers this stuff really well.

	Now this scene, I think there's a piece of this scene that did get cut. Yeah, you can see we're laying out pretty much the whole backstory of the Cylons. I've always sort of said that we weren't going to lead hanging mysteries for Caprica. The intent was for Galactica to wrap up its own mysteries and its own backstory and to let Caprica develop on its own. So we're pretty much laying it all out here.

	One piece of business that I think did get lost in the backstory, I won't swear to it because there's so much to this show that it might have slipped through and I do confuse different cuts from one another so you'll forgive me if this is in the show and I just missed it but there was a line somewhere that said that Cavil was actually modeled on Ellen's father, that she created him in the image of her own father, and that there were certain Oedipal things going on there too and I thought there was an interesting layer of complexity to that relationship but I think that did get cut over time.

	Well, and this is pretty much the end of this episode. I hope you enjoyed it. It's certainly a lot to swallow. There's a tremendous amount of backstory in here, I'm sure there will be lots and lots of conversation on the message boards which I look forward to surfing through as people argue about which piece of backstory makes sense and which piece does not, I will say right now that I'm sure that there's probably some discontinuities in there some place, there's something we said that's contradicted but I don't know what it is, we spend a lot of time and effort trying to make sure that it was satisfying and that it did, if I was a professional I would have known it all from the very beginning of course, that goes without saying. We tried very hard to line up the continuity and a lot of drafts, a lot of picking over minutia in details, a lot of people on staff to make it all hang together, if it doesn't, ultimately that's ultimately my fault as the showrunner so you can send your complaint cards to me. If I had an ounce of talent it would have all have been written well before the show was on the air. But there you have it, there's episode 417 No Exit, hope you enjoyed it. It's going to be really interesting from here going forward but there you have the story of the Cylons boys and girls. Thank you for listening and Good Night and Good Luck.
