Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mustrum_Ridcully" data-source="post: 4152619" data-attributes="member: 710">Baltar did not want to go for a mis-trial. He wanted things to end, despite him having a good chance of "losing" and being sentenced to Death. But he is still not willing to take his own life. I guess he really began to feel guilt for what he did, no longer feeling that there is an excuse for him. He betrayed the 12 Colonials, even if not knowingly. He hid information from them. He gave Gina a bomb that killed hundreds of Colonials - and allowed the Cylons to find New Caprica. He collaborated just to save his own skin. He lived among the Cylons, and hid information from them to save himself. He wasn't fully accepted by them, either. It was about time he feels something about it, and that he questions himself more. But off course, suicide or being murdered by one of his victims is the easy solution. He won't get that.I think the Final Five had to be aware of their status before anything could happen. And then, the Raider was the first Cylon device/creature that saw him directly, and during scanning him, he got a response none of the Cylons would have expected. It might even be something that triggers a programming unknown (or forgotten) by the other Cylons.I think there big problem is that they know that Balthar tested Boomer and she was a Cylon despite his findings. Later tests (if there where any) gave different results, so maybe they trusted it again. But the point is that they seem to be unable to gain 100 % conclusive information. And maybe, the detector really doesn't work on the Final Five anyway.</blockquote>
