Maybe everyone else is just thinking "genius = eccentric."
Eccentric? He's bug-fuck crazy.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Eccentric? He's bug-fuck crazy.
Yep. I mean, there's a line, you know? Which he crossed light-years back.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, but what evidence of this have the other characters seen? Besides public masturbation, of course.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Just watched BSG. Good episode. Nifty, smart action sequences and some meaty religious stuff to chew on. I liked that when Baltar accepted the validity of Six's God, it was on his own terms--I mean, OK, he prayed to the God for his self-preservation when he was accused of being a Cyclon facilitator a couple of episodes back, but he didn't really mean it then. Here, he decided that the only rational explanation for his correctly guessing the target site was because he was guided by a divine hand, because to think otherwise was illogical. Very in character for Baltar.
The Pythian prophecies, etc. were all very cool but arrrrghhhh! Snakes! Why did it have to be snakes!

I love that when you see other, random characters in the hallways of Galactica (if such is what you call them when you're in a giant spaceship) -- they do seem to look at him funny.
But he's always been crazy since they've known him -- I'm not sure how much of a difference they will notice.

Well, my love for Billy the assistant began when he mutter/sang "Cuckoo!" under his breath during, I think it was 33 after he and Roslin had witnessed Baltar first trying to deal with talking to the real people and Six at the same time, so at least someone has noticed his oddness. And by Roslin's look, I think she concurred. Also? I adore Billy and will use just about any excuse to bring him up. But at least here, it has a point.
I think since then they probably have put it down to eccentric, because, from their perspective, he's been useful. I'd probably err on the side of thinking he was just eccentric, especially if I thought I had to rely on him. It would make me feel better about the relying.

Also, I think that Six is crazy too. Well, even the Six down on Caprica seems crazier than say the Public Relations Guy or Boomer.

I agree, sumi. Six has got herself some issues.

That's true -- it's not like they have a baseline version to compare their current one with.
It would make me feel better about the relying.
And this.
I love Number Six. (And not just for the name.) She's just fascinating.

I've been assuming that the Six that Boltar was screwing was killed during all the nukage (in the miniseries). According to Cylon orthodoxy, her soul would have passed on to another Six, but so far we have yet so see any evidence of this. No evidence of any soul transference, actually. It'd be funny the Cylons were wrong about this.
