Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.

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.
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....
Then how did Baltar know about the baby? Lucky guess?
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.
I'm perfectly happy to have the humans talk about the Gods, and the Cylons talk about God. But I would be unhappy if God actually showed up - or if there was direct evidence of deity-intervention, for that matter.
Although maybe Moore is clever enough to come up with an interesting twist.
