L.A.W., Day 3: Discussion!

[rose_griffes]

daybreak777 is allowed to laugh at this next statement--I might have a slight tendency to be blind to Leoben's worst faults. Just maybe. *g*

These aren't obligatory questions, but a way to start a discussion. Feel free to add more questions as well, if you'd like. Dissenting opinions are welcome but play nice with the other kids. Otherwise you'll have to serve detention and clean erasers. /teacher voice

The Leoben we saw during the mini-series was very different from Leoben being interviewed/tortured in 'Flesh and Bone'... and then season three Leoben seemed to be acting from a very different set of programming than either of the other two (in my opinion). So what are your theories about cylon programming? Does each model have a basic program, with individualized parts to help him work certain missions? Do the individual copies develop their own identities?

During 'Flesh and Bone', how did Leoben know Kara's identity and other information about her?

Does Leoben possess the ability to manifest in others' dreams? If so, why? If not, where did Roslin's dreams in F&B come from?

In season three Leoben told Kara he loved her, and said that he expects her to love him someday. He's 'seen' it. What does that mean?

In your opinion, what was the worst damage that Leoben caused when he held Kara captive? What effects in her life and behavior support this?

From 'Maelstrom': the paint!sex scene--gratuitous, integral or something in-between? What does it mean? And who/what was Leoben in that scene?

Who is head!Leoben? What's his agenda?

In a (sweaty) boxing match, what would win: wee yet fiery ApolloBamceps or wiry cylon strength?
