That Which Lies In Between |  Sam Anders Quotes

Flashback to the Interviewers on Caprica:

1. 1. Perfect throw
   2. Making a perfect catch
   3. the perfect stepping block
   4. Perfection is what it’s about, about those moments when you, when you can feel the perfection of creation.
   5. the beauty of physics
   6. the wonder of mathematics
   7. know the elation of action and reaction and that’s the kind of perfection I want to be connected to.

Presently on Galactica as the hybrid:

1. 1. spins and turns, angles and curves, the shape of dreams half remembered
   2. slipped the surly bonds of earth
   3. touch the face of perfection, a perfect face, a perfect place
   4. find the perfect world for Kara Thrace; End of Line.

Sam Anders obviously enthralled with the concept of perfection.  He enjoys creating situations where he can perfect his concepts of how events should be shaped.  John Cavil knows Anders is one of the F5, therefore, Cavil had no intention of killing Anders the freedom fighter while fighting on Caprica.  He wanted to teach them a lesson on humanity.  But did Cavil also know Anders wouldn’t ever be successful as a freedom fighter, be the one to destroy the cylon forces on the Caprica.  Success is subjective.  Defined by purpose and goal.  Anders more than likely caught up on perfecting strategy to fight but to never succeed in winning  the war even if he had a full force and equipment to do so.  Sounds harsh true.  I think Anders does not have the foresight to see the broad spectrum of a situation.

On Galactica, I think he is mixing up what he was to what he is – a hybrid.  He remembers his love for Kara – a perfect face.  This however is not quite enough evidence to say Kara is special or that he wants a perfect world for Kara because she is special.  She is really but only as in a man who’s in love with his wife and he wants her happy.

Will they hook up Anders during the rescue of Hera?  Now there is the question because hybrid jumps ship at will.  Who knows, Kara in danger could mean saving what is left of the Galactica and it’s people.
