Clarity in pain

I'm just going to throw this out here, even though this particular blog entry is old (I'm catching up).

Brad wrote, in reference to the song Gaeta was singing: "The pain of revelation bringing new clarity and in the midst of confusion, he will find her."

Again, this is just a random, off-the-cuff thought, but it reminds me of the encounter between Tigh and the Six in custody aboard the Galactica, and how she was telling him that there is a clarity to be found in pain... and then proceeds to open up a can of whoop-butt on him, until he is down for the count, and still he begs her to keep going--but she realizes that it isn't pain that he needs, and she starts to comfort him. And based on Adama's accusation later, the (sexual?) liaisons continue after that. Not to mention that Tigh regularly sees Ellen when he looks at Six.

Add to that his distraught state of mind over the fact that he (a cylon) killed Ellen for being a cylon collaborator. A line from the season-three-ender he says is "What about Ellen?" which further illustrates his confusion.

Jump ahead to the cliffhanger for this season, on Earth, where we see the Six going up to Tigh, although his back is to her, and you see the Six reaching up to comfort him, but he is looking elsewhere.

When taken together, the line quoted from Gaeta's song may somehow be a reference to Tigh finding Ellen.

Just random thoughts, for what they're worth.
