I'm up to the LDYB portion of my AU, and I have a few comments.
Why was Gunny Mathias not on Caprica in LDYB? boo. She'd be very handy right now.
The wiki seems to think Cavil was put there by the Cylons when they withdrew. But I think he had to have already infiltrated the resistance or everyone was way too calm about a stranger suddenly standing up. Which is how I'm writing him. I think it'll all fit together, maybe even work out a bit better. *crosses fingers*
I love how Leoben confirms that Sam was famous back in the day as a pyramid player. Which, we kind of already knew from Adama -- Adama doesn't just say he's a fan of the Panthers; he recognizes Sam and calls him a 'hell of a player.' *fangirl squeal* -- but it's nice to have confirmation.
But on a meta level, I like it even more, because it means the writers haven't forgotten that they need to account for Sam's pre-attacks career, with presumably a long track record of playing, when reconciling that with his Cylon-ness. While many people are concerned about Tigh's age and such, I was worried that the writers would classify Sam with Tory as not really having much of a backstory to worry about, and that's not true. So phew!
And he was born on Picon! or thinks he was. I'm so glad we're getting some of these tidbits about his history, even if some of it turns out to be false.
Interesting thing from the podcasts about how there was a bit about the Aurora figurine that got cut out. hmm. That starts to take Kara=Aurora off the table then. Not entirely since it was in Maelstrom, but... it's definitely sliding down a few notches in my Theory of Everything.
I'm sorry to lose the bit about Bill in Kara's Viper though. One of the promo shots from the newsletter had a pic and I was all excited. I want to see him flying before the end (and it sounds like Ron does too- so I have hope!)

Anyway, I just sent you an email on a totally unrelated subject. :P
