Oh, I missed that Tricia Helfer(Cylon #6) was also in the crowd. Yep, Flanagan really got every BSG person he could.

Spoilers regarding the … twist(s) and finale reveal.

Spoilers regarding the … twist(s) and finale reveal.

I figured during the party episode “Emmaline isn’t actually there.” I assumed she was with the “X-men” which is what my wife and I just started referring to the powered girls (I guess X-women would be more accurate). I never assumed she was all in Carrie’s head. When she told Carrie to let her “take the wheel” I thought–oh she’s not one of the X-men…she’s something else. I honestly in that moment thought maybe she was an entity not a person. Then my wife said “She’s Katee Sackoff’s daugher from that opening scene.” And that clicked.
