Let’s Give Cavil Some Props

So this week you all rushed to the nearest…(DVD store? Does that even exist anymore in this age of never leaving our chairs?)…well, rushed somewhere to buy your copy of The Plan. And I’m sure you are on your third or fourth viewing. In fact, I think I can hear you from my office! Yes, that is you I am sure of it–you are shouting at the screen. You just said, “Sharon did WHAT?” and then you said “Oh no, he didn’t!!!”. “He”, of course being, Dean Stockwell’s “Cavil” doing something sneaky and sinister. Remember the Dean Stockwell of yesteryear/Quantum Leap? You know, the nice hologram Dean, Al Calavicci, who smoked cigars and tapped the side of his Blackberry…I mean, time machine or whatever.  Yeah he’s gone.

For those of you who have had the opportunity to watch The Plan, you know what I mean. And you same folks also know how important the character of “Cavil” is to the entire plot of The Plan. So important in fact, that I want to talk more about the Cavil props we are auctioning off this week on eBay. Take a closer look at some of these items…and then bid on them!

FLEET CAVIL’S BOOK AND KNIFE

This is the book on which Cavil cuts his apple, used in that sweet scene depicting the heart to heart between Cavil and The Boy. And for those of us who have seen The Plan, that “sweet scene” doesn’t stay sweet for long (wink, wink).  So included with the book is Cavil’s knife–the knife he uses to cut the apple, and to…well…you know.  Hey, don’t hesitate to bid on this just because you are scared of sharp edges, the knife has been dulled by production. Phew!

JOHN CAVIL’S HAT

This is a backup version of the hat Cavil wore throughout the telefilm The Plan. One might even go as far as to say this is Cavil’s most iconic costume piece–lets face it, the guy wore it all the time. The hat is brown, from the Australian Outback Collection. It is a size small.

BROTHER CAVIL’S “THE PLAN” PAMPHLET

Here we have one of the pamphlets handed out by Fleet Cavil in The Plan. On the front, a graphic depiction of Dean Stockwell’s profile! The pamphlet includes Cavil’s contact information, which who knows, may come in handy in case of Cylon apocalypse. It also contains the written lyrics to “The Song of Mindkind”, and several Cylon prayers.
