Heh! I wasn’t very clear, actually and went haring off on that Baltar tangent. What I meant was that Caprica Boomer is more interesting to me because she is AWARE of her Cylon identity, and so we see her making conscious choices. I think the actress could have been better at conveying her emotional turmoil, and that is part of the reason why, until the last few episodes, I find the Caprica storyline a little dull, but it is more intrinsically interesting to me to watch someone who is aware of her “dual” nature struggle against it, than to watch Galactica Boomer, who has no idea that she is “the Manchurian Candidate” aboard ship. HER struggles are not internal ones (yet, though perhaps that will change). That’s what I meant when I said that my preference for C!Boomer really isn’t anything to do with the love-story one way or the other – it’s just her self-awareness that I prefer.
