OT: BSG Discussion

[Atrocities]

When Pegasus showed up and had "Gina" 6 locked up as a Cylon, the Galactica crew all recognized her as a suspected cylon model.

I just watched that episode again and the ONLY person from Galatica's crew to "recognize" her was Baltar. None of the Galatica crew ever saw her aside from Baltar.

There really wasn't any indication that it was a dream episode though. I'm not sure why people ever thought it was

People rightfuly suspected that this was a dream episode, or in Baltars case, a psycotic (sp) break because the Six model in his HEAD, threatened him, then vanished from his thoughts at the exact time that he was accused by a then supposedly real 6 model of being a traitor. After he repented and gave himself over to "GOD", the supposed real 6 vanishes, the evidence against him is provem false, and the imaginary 6 returns.

It is widely, and again rightfully concluded, that the whole thing was a mind job. The six in his head was teaching him a lesson.

To now come out and say otherwise means that the Six in his head is something far more than an illusion and actually has physical abilities that can manifest themselves in the "real" world outside of Baltars delusions.

It was a mistake for them to erase the mystery of that episode by confirming that it was a real happenstance. Leaving the viewers to wonder about Baltars mental state was a far more effective method of developing his character than the avenue they just took in the final episode of season two.
