Roslin/Apollo. Such a sexy notion, that. Yay for them.

I so agree with that. And there's chemistry there, too.

What, you have a problem with a tall, skinny, blonde, buttfloss-wearing robot sex-toy villain-vixen with a worship complex, whose persuasive skillset seems to coincide with her blowjob skillset? Who are you, Betty Freidan or something??

It's been argued that the Cylon plot all along called for Baltar to be seduced in order to get access to the defense computers, so it makes sense that Six would be ultra-sexy.

You could also argue that the creators and writers need a good week at the Michigan Womyns Festival, or to be ritually beaten with wet spaghetti, or to be stuffed into 3-inch heels and made to walk ten miles.

You can argue a lot of things.

I love Six. So there.

I love Six too. She has a mix of sex and menace I find very appealing. She could snap Baltar like a twig, and he likes it.

I guess it comes down to the question of, is she there just to provide titillation for the audience, or does her presence make some narrative sense. Sometimes I like her, sometimes she annoys me, but I think she fits in the series - unlike the completely gratuitous "decontamination gel" scene in Enterprise, which made me never watch that show again.

Fay, check out the pictures from a con that someone posted in LJ Tricia Hefler is in a fairly sedate top and skirt and looks lovely, I think.

You know, by the end of the series, I was kind of missing the decon chamber. It was so gratuitous.

Speaking of which, did anyone else actually watch the last ep of Enterprise? Because, if so, Trip DID NOT DIE. Stupid-ass Berman and Braga. They'd have done better to end the show at the previous episode.

I didn't mind the ending of Enterprise, but then again, I never got attached to it, so I didn't see the addition of Riker and Troi to the finale as cheapening the show's integrity.

The death was a bit of a waste too, but it was much better than I was expecting.

I think her ability to persuade Baltar now (as opposed to before the attack where, yes, seduction was her manipulation of choice) lies primarily in her ability to kill him with her brain (Or his brain. Whatever.), or kill him by manipulating others, or by stopping his heart, or what have you. Her arsenal of how to make Baltar do what she wants is not limited to sex. Practically speaking, he seems to do all right on his own, so you really wouldn't want that to be all there is to it if you were writing her, I'd think.

Also, I'd imagine the worship complex is programmed in. Well, and the tall, skinny, pretty, blond part, which doesn't seem like an illogical choice to me. If I were making robots, I'd like them to be aesthetically pleasing, and she's a version of that. So are Boomer and Leoban. Hell, if I were making a robot version of me, it'd be leaner and meaner even if I weren't planning to use it to infiltrate and annihilate the human race. Which I... would not do. Also, there would be no gray hair.

Or, short version: I like her, too.

By and large, though, isn't she still mostly in seduction mode? She can threaten him (and follow through, apparently) when he balks. Mostly, it doesn't come to that, because she generally manipulates by stroking his ego. And some other parts.
