But how would those impulses have changed anything? 40,000 other people survived who weren't cylons, after all. Anders survived because he happened to be training in the mountains with his team, not because he drove himself into the mountains on an impulse or something like that. He stayed behind when Kara left with the arrow - mysterious drawing power or not.
I'm not really arguing, since I think I've even said it before. It's just... not quite as satisfactory to me that all that knowledge is there, but none of them got access even though they were 'switched on' in a sense. Seems to me there has to be some other trigger yet to come or some/most/all of that knowledge is just not there (like the theory where they're different because they're not programmed at all).
Oh and Hera was really only because I was thinking she might be the link to get them inside the Opera House, either to 'merge' with the beings there in some fashion or she'd be the conduit to get the Fifth OUT of the Opera House and into a body. She's got something to do with all this.
Although having Tigh be in Hera's body would be utterly cracktastic! Fortunately we're saved by a lack of three year olds who are THAT precocious. :)
