I hadn't thought about the possibility that Lee may suspect Laura of being a Cylon. If he does, it certainly didn't alter his behavior towards her I agree. I actually think I'm probably just optimistically projecting what I think the writers should be remembering onto the show. I just felt that any human would consider that option if someone confessed they were sharing dreams with Cylons. It wasn't specific to Lee or Laura. However, given how scattered the writing has been around this subject matter in Season 4, they probably didn't think about it. If they did, then yes, it reads as if he gives Laura the same grace he offered Kara. Which I'm happy about--I just wish we'd seen a little more of the thinking behind both perception-shifts on his part.
The assumption is, and I think it's a good one, if any one of them can reach Laura Roslin and reason with her it's going to be Lee Adama. Yes, that makes sense--I think I'm just startled that the writers suddenly remembered that history again. Pleased but confused, you could say.
I can rationalize why Leoben is a leader. He has a connection, via Kara, to the humans. Heh, because he kidnapped and tortured her, you mean? Sorry. Don't mind me--I'm evidently still a bit bitter. ;)
But this Sharon isn't Boomer Sharon so why her? And how did Natalie come to lead them all? And why do the Six's each have individual names and the others don't? Are they more individualistic than the other models? And, if so, wouldn't there be more of a power struggle amongst them? So many questions! None of them answered! The show invites me to think about the Cylons and then my mind hits these obstacles and flies back from them again. I just find it all so frustratingly opaque.
the prospect in living with them in some way is a lot less scary if you know they can die like you can. Yes, that's a really fundamental shift, I think. The first step towards the possibility of equalising things out between them.
