True, Kara is quite the Queen of Parental Issues, but they've all worked for me so far. The girl can ride her guilt for hours, and if it were any other actress besides Katee that would probably get old for me, but Katee is so damn amazing.
I don't remember Boomer ever before "preying on emotions" or manipulating anyone the way Athena did.
Dude, you're totally right! I have to admit to completely conflating the two because of the way Roslin phrased it. Maybe the writers were trying to say that that's what the Eight model does, manipulate feelings? But even then that wouldn't be relevant to the original Boomer because she was seriously fucked over in S1. Maybe they're arguing that her experiences with rejection by humans on New Caprica--and her subsequent falling in with Cavil which I still HATE--are now the guiding force in her motivation?
Your ranting is totally justified the more I think about it!
