With Boomer, I've always figured we're meant to think that up until the time she shot Bill, she wasn't in conscious control of what she was doing - she only began making choices once she was resurrected. I don't think it was a double-cross when she helped Sam escape on Caprica, and I can understand why she was so messed up and open to being turned against her original 'family'. It's a long time since I watched it, so one day I'd like to go back and revisit her arc in seasons 1-3 and see if my sympathy for her is well-founded.
I thought Kara had been given a new body and it was something to do with what happened to her on Caprica. I hoped Cavil had something a whole lot better up his sleeve than some hazy plan to vivisect Hera involving sticking sharp objects into her brain - that seemingly either never actually took place, despite the length of time she was in the hands of Cavil and the Simons, or didn't happen at all.
I figured that if Cavil and *was* the dangerous adversary we were led to believe, then he would also be behind the recreation of Kara's viper. I hoped the introduction of the Cylon colony was going to actually, um, I dunno, lead to some NEW information that explained things like resurrection, the hybrids, Cylon projection, where the Centurion's religious faith came from etc...
So many things were dropped or not explained to my satisfaction. I think I'm going to just pretend that most of season 4 never happened and someday we'll get a final season that actually lives up to the quality of the best episodes in seasons 1-3.
Oh well - I still have Lost to care about, and the writers on that show seem to be doing quite well at the moment!
