See, now this is what is AWESOME about thinky comments. You take what I did not intend at all (except for the part about Natalie being moved by Sam's help of the Eight) and got your own meaning out of it. So now I feel the need to share mine...
This is based on my personal theory of the meaning/existence of the Opera House/the River (as seen in Faith) as being a metaphysical space between life and death, and the Five as being the keepers of the doorway to the afterlife. This is a meta post of its own, but it's basically an anteroom of death, but that each individual shapes it according to her needs to prepare her to cross. Sam is her guide here to the other side (whether he's an independent entity or a product of her need/mind, or if there's even a difference, I leave to you *g*).
So it's a far less 'realistic' interpretation, but yours works perfectly well with what I wrote, too, given what we can guess about Cylon/human biology. It always makes me so excited when people point out new ways to see things in what I write. :D
