I was wondering at that point if he was in the loop re: the Centurion's having self-awareness now. Because if he knows that his sermon is being heard by a sentient being, that's very different than if he thinks he's talking to a dumb hunk of metal.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And it all goes back to the essential question of Baltar - is he being uber-crafty and devious, or REALLY FUCKING STUPID?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm going with really fucking stupid, myself.

Me too. He just can't stop talking and trying to make trouble - and the possible consequences (even to himself) don't seem to hit him until it's too late.

For a super-genius, he seems to be incapable of forethought.

So he's Wile E. Coyote? Are the Cylons from Acme as well?

Was he aware they didn't have it before? I feel like that's only been discussed among the Cylons this season.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Are the Cylons from Acme as well?
That would explain the exploding toasters.

It's never been brought up to him explicitly (onscreen), but I can't imagine he spent several months living on a base star not knowing whether or not the Centurions had autonomy.
