Battlestar Galactica Season 4 Episode 15 BSG: Cavils I dont want to be human speech Brother Cavil: In all your travels, have you ever seen a star go supernova? Ellen Tigh: No. Brother Cavil: No? Well, I have. I saw a star explode and send out the building blocks of the Universe. Other stars, other planets and eventually other life. A supernova! Creation itself! I was there. I wanted to see it and be part of the moment. And you know how I perceived one of the most glorious events in the universe? With these ridiculous gelatinous orbs in my skull! With eyes designed to perceive only a tiny fraction of the EM spectrum. With ears designed only to hear vibrations in the air. Ellen Tigh: The five of us designed you to be as human as possible. Brother Cavil: I dont want to be human! I want to see gamma rays! I want to hear X-rays! And I want to - I want to smell dark matter! Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I cant even express these things properly because I have to - I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid limiting spoken language! But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws! And feel the wind of a supernova flowing over me! Im a machine! And I can know much more! I can experience so much more. But Im trapped in this absurd body! https://youtube/watch?v=pM3CptVZDYU
