[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 3087534, member: 7883"] Those are some valid points...I've kind of been wondering about this. Maybe Six really is a Phantom, and is a hallucination. Maybe Baltar "snapped" after the bomb, and Phantom Six is a manifestation of his sickness. Sure, she's made predictions, but they haven't all been right, and some of them, such as their parenthood of Sharon's baby, seems more like the delusion of a sick mind, rather than an accurate statement. Maybe she's a manifestation of parts of his consciousness,...so she'd be limited by his senses. He's a very, very smart man, and I'm sure he could probably be calculating all kinds of things in the background, and then Phantom Six is the outlet by which he reveals to himself something that he's just figured out. My *only* reservation is when she showed up on the bridge in Season One, so that everyone could see her. It's the only part that doesn't make any sense to me if she's a hallucination. The inconsistency that I don't understand is the number of people who have seen him talking to himself, behaving oddly etc. who don't seem to relay that information on. You'd think the reputation of "brilliant scientist" in the eyes of the public would be offset by rumours about him grabbing himself by the lapels, and throwing himself against a wall, or arguing with thin air. I mean, we're talking about a major public figure......people love to gossip, and politicians have been brought down for far less. I don't think he's a cylon. I don't think they use cylons for high-profile roles....too much chance of someone noticing hey, John the librarian is the spitting image of the Vice President of 12 planets. Obviously, nobody would have known in the beginning that he'd become VP, so it's not like they'd only plant one, knowing he'd be high profile. The rest of the cylons apparently had no clue he even survived the blast. Banshee [/QUOTE]
