40,000 other people survived who weren't cylons, after all.
Well, true, but when you go from 20 billion to 40,000, the odds of any four particular people surviving are, uh, *fails at math* - really really small, right? And then ending up close to people in positions of power and influence in the Fleet? To me that would be too much to swallow even for a tv show.
I sort of assume that Sam's letting Kara leave with the Arrow was because he knew it was part of her destiny. If she'd stayed behind, they'd never find Earth. And his reason d'etre is to help her find Earth. Hence, poor Gaeta. *sniff*
Oh, I know you didn't really mean Hera.I just liked that image. ;) But is the idea that when they die, their spirit will enter the body of an already existing person? Or they'll be reborn as infants?
