Maybe it's with Sydney Bristow's...

Speculation time--Kara's missing (full or partial) ovary? How did you expect or would have liked to seen that storyline play out--assuming it was different than canon? Did you expect a legit pregnant Starbuck to show up at one point? Did you think they'd push harder with the "Kacey being made of her ovary" bit (or at least make the timing/age of Kacey more easily believable in line with that?)? Did you think Kara would or should have gone on a rescue mission to save/destroy her ovary a la Sid Bristow in Alias?

Agh that storyline so made no sense on so many levels. If the reason they know she's special is from Leoben, he'd have also told them that the reason she's special is because of Earth, not because of her ovaries. And if they had thousands of women on these farms and it wasn't working why did they keep doing it? And what happened to these women when the Cylons left Caprica? (And why doesn't anyone seem to care, or even raise the possibility of going back for them?) And seriously WTF with the 'better dead than raped' thing? Headdesk forever.

If I were going to make sense of it...the Cylons were harvesting ova to use as genetic material in building new Cylon bodies, not to reproduce. So when Caprica Six is downloaded, the body she downloads into is grown from ova taken from human women. That isn't any less creepy, but at least it makes sense. It would also then make sense why Sue-Shaun would want to die rather than to keep living like this, because the Cylons can only continue to download (and be immortal) as long as they have a supply of human ova. This raises the question of why they'd kill most humans if they needed human ova for continued survival, but maybe they figured a few thousand human women could give them all the ova they needed.

And then if you wanted to go there you could have Leoben downloading into bodies made from Kara's ova on New Caprica every time she kills him. I think that would've been beautifully creepy and horrifying, and also the sort of thing Leoben would do.

They always played a bit fast and loose on who knew what when it came to Kara and the cylons. Didn't Sharon even deny knowing why Kara was special in The Farm? So lame. (No plan!)

I never really understood why they needed to procreate with the humans in the first place (before resurrection hubs were destroyed). Other than it supposedly being part of God's plan according to Caprica. It was all a bit murky to me as to why they would want to mingle with an inferior race, since there was some insistence that they were the perfect model/execution of God's will early on, wasn't there?

The Cylons were pretty flaky to begin with - first it was "Kill All Humans! Rinse, Repeat!" then it was "procreate with what's left of them!", then it became "oopsie, we made a mistake, our bad, now can we subjugate you humans please?" and then finally it was "ok, the bad cylons suck and we're rebelling and joining forces with humans with no forcible knocking-up or whimsical killing.!
