:(*snif*) No mention of Galvatron?

:::Sorry, guys. I thought Galvatron's presence would be obvious, keeping previous predictions in mind.

::: When I say "spaced", I mean she threw herself out into space (more specifically, she probably found an airlock on ''Galactica'', jumped into it, and vented herself out into space). It's not the magical phenomenon you believe it to be, apparently...

: I follow Occam's Razor on this. Simply put, she probably evaded the marines (not a hard thing to do, seeing as they are [[Resistance (episode)|virtually incompetent]] when the story suits it), utilizing her knowledge of the battlestar, then (utilizing her knowledge of computers) overrides any alarms and jettisons herself to space. | : I follow Occam's Razor on this.

: The ultimate point of the episode in question is to discredit any claims of Baltar's collusion with the Cylons prior to the fall of the colonies, thus only further strengthening the Fleet's trust in Baltar. That's it. Anything else is over-rated fanwanking. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 19:52, 22 March 2007 (CDT) | : The ultimate point of the episode in question is to discredit any claims of Baltar's collusion with the Cylons prior to the fall of the colonies, thus only further strengthening the Fleet's trust in Baltar.

* Good points, I agree that Shelly is most likely not a cylon. As for what this has to do with this episode, the entire fact that Shelly has been "Forgotten" is what makes this so strange. I mean someone attempted to frame Baltar for treason. Thats HUGE evidence for someone trying to defend Baltar from the same charge. However, I still feel the only explanation (other than omnipotence of VSix) is to call the ENTIRE "Six Degrees" episode an hallucination of Baltar. The fact that an attempted framing of Baltar by a "Six" is NEVER brought up later in the series seems good proof of this. Also as I pointed out having proof of an attempted framing of himself would be a MAJOR boon to Baltar's defense. So why hasn't Baltar brought it up? VSix would sub-conciously influence Baltar to not even realize the connection, as it would expose Six's subterfuge having the other characters telling Baltar that the event never happened . In addition the entire episode is too "perfect" for VSix there are far too many variables for even a precognizant to pull off this perfectly. As for the parts of the episode that Baltar could not see it's possible that Six caused him hallucinated those and Baltar was in such an unstable emotional condition and never thought how he was seeing the events. Keep in mind that Baltar is and has been since the attack in a VERY fragile mental position. Many things that a rationale person would notice and question (such as how he saw things he shouldn't have, and not realizing the connection between the attempted frame and his defense) Baltar will simply miss. I understand this is extremely iffy however I can't think of any other possiblities that explain the seeming vow of silence eveyrone has taken on the subject. {{unsigned|Jonesj3599|21:01, 22 March 2007}} | * Good points, I agree that Shelly is most likely not a cylon.

: Shelly is ultimately inconsequential, since she was not involved at New Caprica. Again, Baltar is being tried for what they can prove -- which is his involvement with the Cylon occupying force on New Caprica. Bringing up Shelly would be the equivalent of showing us [[w:Chekhov's gun|Chekhov's gun]] and not firing it by act 3, since all she did was to discredit those who may have known about [[Amorak]]'s evidence about a "traitor in their midst". -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 20:27, 22 March 2007 (CDT) | |||

:: Read what I said you're right that Shelly is inconsequential to the PROSECUTION but it is NOT inconsequential to the DEFENSE. Also the standard of evidence is much slacker for a defense (that's based on our legal system but then colonial law seem similar.) Showing this evidence could point to a conspiracy within the fleet against Baltar (whether thats true or not doesn't matter.) The point is it would be a viable tactic for the defense to persue, and an important tatic as well. --[[User:Jonesj3599|Jonesj3599]] 20:52, 22 March 2007 (CDT) | :: Read what I said you're right that Shelly is inconsequential to the PROSECUTION but it is NOT inconsequential to the DEFENSE.

::I'm sure if anything is to come of it we'll see it Sunday. It just helped make sense for me of the WTF moment for me when Tory gave Anders that look. The lack of sleep I attributed to the orbital mind control lasers (or whatever that radio stuff is), but the look was just odd. If it helps, RDM's podcast was my only source on the matter, as I generally avoid online birds (especially near the finale) due to their tendency to sing spoilers. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 15:16, 22 March 2007 (CDT) | ::I'm sure if anything is to come of it we'll see it Sunday.
