Baltar is probably one of these. when he was with 6 and the blast went off on caprica, the both probably died (6 for sure). if he is/was one of the rebelling five cylon models and downloaded into a new body, part of 6 might have transferred onto him and part of him onto 6, that's why they both see each other in their heads, a mix up at the resurrection ship. we know there are 5 different “skinjobs” that the majority of 7 do not talk about.

Baltar didn't know what happened to him. The next thing we see is Baltar with a group of people trying to get off the planet. Baltar being a cylon certainly explains why he and his cyclon lover see each other in their heads. Baltar is a cylon.

There are too many problems with the idea: Elliotte's comment, her reaction to his powers of denial, that he was such a public figure, etc. I think it's somehow part of the tangled web that holds the Colonist and the Cylons together. Six's last stated explanation, that she's an angel sent by God, could hold for Caprica Six's Baltar too. Truthfully, given the show's low technobabble ethos and similary mystical attitude toward religion, I wouldn't be surprised if it's never explained. I don’t think Baltar’s a Cylon at all.

Both being crazy in the same way? That would be a very lame coincidence. It's clear that something is going on, although I have no idea what. I agree. Both being crazy in the same way?

Prescott Mon, 27 Feb 2006 12:51:25 +0000 http://blog.elharo.com/blog/?p=155#comment-508 I'm still leaning toward Baltar as a deep sleeper agent. It's never been explained how Baltar survived the overpressure blast while #6 did not. 6 blocked the flying glass? Come on. Perhaps their uploads got scrambled by the lingering EMF effects from the nukes. Both seem like thin plot devices. So take your pick ;) In any event, BSG is one of the few "green dots" on my Tivo these days. :( ~rmp I’m still leaning toward Baltar as a deep sleeper agent.
