"Uh, it's Tuesday? It must be fight the dragon day"

Oh, I love your summary of that so much!

I may be dense for not getting this, but who helped Cavil project the dragon? I wasn't sure if you were implying that the Final Five on board had helped create it

Yep, I was trying to imply that Tigh and Ellen were sort of unconsciously feeding into the projection, and that Cavil took that and shaped it into something more real.
