ROFLMAO - Now we all know how old CK is.

Ok, I've only watched the mini and season one, and am waiting on the first half of season two on my blockbuster subscription... so I am not entirely caught up...

But... I could really see Dr. Gaius Baltar turning out to be a Cylon. Sort of an experimental 12th model, that the Cylons don't have complete control over; they made him too human. In the first season, we know of four of the twelve models: Doral, Leobon, Number Six, and Sharon/Boomer. I put them in that order, because that's the order of humanity I see them to be in. Sharon seems more human than Number Six, who seems more human than Leobon, and so on. Baltar is the epitome of the selfish, narcissistic human, and to me, seems so over the top that it isn't much of a stretch to think that he is what the Cylons believe all humans to be like.

Anyway, it's probably wrong... but what if?

What makes you think there being only twelver models strickly referred to the huminoid Cylons will? Who's to say the raiders and the centurions aren't included in the 12 models?

I don't think baltar is a Cylon though, doesn't make any sense for his character. I think you will agree with me more on this once you get further along in the series.

In the mini series a captured cylon said that there were only 12 models. Of course he could have been lying.

Well, I just re-watched the miniseries this weekend... and 12 Cylon models appears twice. The first time, Number Six tells Baltar that there are only 12. The second time, Commander Adama sees a printout note in his office that says something like

Curiously, he notices this just after President Roslin leaves... and then the miniseries ended. And it still hasn't really been answered who exactly left the note (up to the end of Season 1)...

I assumed Baltar sent it anonymously?

!!! Spoilers !!!

If I remember right, Pegasus will not be destroyed. I believe Ron Moore commented on this in his pod cast and added something about how destroying the ship would a cheap way out. I hope that RDM and the production stick with that and keep Pegasus as a fixture on the show.

As for the nuke, I think we might see that again in Season 3 involved with the next stop on the long road to earth.

From what I've seen, Ron Moore is taking story elements from the original series and reworking them into new episodes. In many ways, he's retelling the original BSG story in a far better way.

Now story element that hasn't been mined yet is from original Kobol arc on the original series where baltar destroys the pyramid holding the course to earth.

Yay! I found my login to this forum lol.
