I like that the Boomer who isn't a sleeper agent is all strong and together.
Yes.
Gods only know what Baltar will do.
Or maybe it's God only knows, as he seems to have chosen the Cylon God....
Eggs. The living legend needs eggs. Or maybe another milk.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I love Baltar. I do understand why people find him grating, but it wouldn't be so PhilDickian if there wasn't someone who was constantly wondering whether or not he was insane. It's just perfect.
And with Helo off of Caprica, I need a little dark humor in the mix.

I just think Baltar is a funny character. He gets all the best lines.
The actor being good at comedy helps a lot too.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hey, Strega, are you still with me in that Six is just in Baltar's subconscious? I'm going to make an LJ poll. Cause polls are fun.

Then how did Baltar know about the baby? Lucky guess?
Although I'm not buying the "guardian angel" bit....

Yes. If you think about how sexual the Baltar/Six relationship is in the first season, it's not unlikely that it would lead to some OH SHIT YOU'RE PREGNANT?! angst. Just like in real life!

Ok, that makes sense. Except that Six told him the baby would be born in that specific room.

Well, Six is always saying shit like that. You'll notice she never mentioned the room until they were actually in it. Rather convenient, you might say.
I don't know if I'll be disappointed if Six turns out to be some real external entity, but I am so in love with the idea and implications of Baltar just being a genius gone mad.

I guess I'm in love with the ambiguity and the multiple possibilities. The "Schrödinger's Six" element of it....
Except 'meh' on the angel.

I'm in love with that too. But I'm still right.
And actually, the other explanation I would be happy with is if she were an Angel from God. The whole chip thing, with an actual Cylon Six manipulating Baltar, didn't sit well with me. But I would still enjoy it if it were God fucking with him.
