Hey, Strega, are you still with me in that Six is just in Baltar's subconscious?
Then how did Baltar know about the baby? Lucky guess?
Although I'm not buying the "guardian angel" bit....
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

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

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.

What about the magical transportation to Earth? That crossed more lines than I thought the show would cross.

I don't think they meant Earth literally - just that they could see the stars as they'd appear from Earth. But that did confuse me.

I have no idea what the hell happened there. And how they got back.
