We might never find out...I wonder when Head-Baltar will make a reappearance? (I'd like to see both Head(?)-Entities at the same time)What I find very interesting is that Baltars "wisdom" (or his cunning manipulation of people) always seems to be pieced together by things other people said to him. It's never quite clear if these people are an inspiration to him, or if he's just stealing ideas, but I like it. Baltars mind collects various pieces and fits them together to a new whole, and I think that makes his supposed high intellect believable. Even if he sometimes looks like a manipulator using dirty tricks. Which he is, right? Or not? I think the manipulation works on me, too. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />My only worry is that we won't get a resolution. Ron Moore said how much he liked the end of the Sopranos (I haven't seen it, but he gave a good indication on what it looks like). I really hope he doesn't copy it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I found it interesting how Six tells Tigh that they based their minds/brains on human ones,and learned things that humans weren't aware of - but apparently quite capable of. Baltars capabilities to "project" himself and deal with pain might be a sign of the link between Cylons and Humans, not a sign of him being a Cylon. The switches between Six and Ellen were creepy, but well done. Is this Tigh losing his nerves, or him projecting?The final scene with Baltars speech and the switches to different scenes: - I was worried about Tyrols child- It looked to me as if Six reacted to Tori (but not vice versa)- Anders looked very... lovingly on Kara. It fits Baltars idea that you must love yourself to love someone else. Anders never seemed like someone that did not love himself, but it's interesting that his discovery of being a Cylon does not worry him in that regard.Roslin has to wear a wig - and I wondered since the first scene in that episode what was wrong with her hair! What she said to Baltar puts her current and future decisions and behaviour in an interesting light. She doesn't believe she'll survive long, but she wants to make it count, even if she has to bend or break rules. She has come a long way from being a mere "school teacher"... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />And for the record, I totally side with Apollo. If doing the right think is a luxury, I want that luxury. I hope I can be as consistent as Apollo is in real life.</blockquote>
