I know - that was really weird. (At TWOP people are suggesting that it means that Head!Six is real.)

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

This was my thinking.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But real and invisible? Haven't people moved through her physical space before also?
The Gaius scenes for me are easily the weakest, and messing with Head!Six even more so.
Everything seems to be vibrating at a higher and higher frequency, just tumbling headfirst to shaking apart at the seams. I realise I don't have any optimism for the fate of the human race.
That would totally rock, if it ended with the Cylons winning. Or everyone dead.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Of the four new Cylons I can imagine Anders maybe taking Athena into his confidence eventually.
I could see that too, especially with Leoban aboard & all of them cut off from the rest of the fleet. (I doubt she'd just airlock him, for example. She might laugh in his face - would that be worse?)
I don't think HeadSix is real, but I think Baltar's belief in her is strong enough to manifest in disconcertingly physical ways.
Oh, forgot to mention my other favorite bit - Baltar/Tori "I think I liked it better when you cried." BWAH.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
it actually looked like he was being lifted up by something, but you couldn't see anything. That was so weird and out of character for how they film Baltar WRT to Head Six.
Totally! That was a WTF moment for me. Are they changing the rules now about how Head!Six manifests, or has she always been able to physically manipulate objects and we just haven't seen it before now? Very puzzling.
Aw man, and poor Chief. His scene with Adama was so awful to watch.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I just assumed it was from Baltar's POV -- much like the Final Four are shown having hallucinations while in the middle of conversations.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, I didn't think it meant Six was real or anything, but that's how Baltar would contort himself since he believes she's real.
That episode was full of a lot of chatter. I was not a big fan, which was sad because it was Jane! I love Jane! But not on this show, it seems.

But up until now his POV just had her in it. Why this new angle?

Trust my rage
I didnt like this episode, despite being written by JE. I guess I could go into why but it just seemed weird and disjointed. I really feel that the mood of the entire show has changed- more chaotic, but in a mental, not physical way.

We've seen him reacting to her physically before, though - I guess I'm not seeing what makes this one so different than the time Starbuck caught him fucking Six in his lab, or any of the number of times he's fallen out of chairs because of something she "did."
