:(*snif*) No mention of Galvatron? Is he being left to rust somewhere in space by something more evil than he: ''lawyers?'' --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 15:44, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

*Godfrey will have to be explained again in the future. I believe she should be explained when (or if) Baltar ever confronts Caprica-Six.

::: 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).

::::Even if the defense did find out about Virtual Six, the only thing they could really use the information for is the [[Wikipedia:insanity defense|insanity defense]], which I don't think is likely. It doesn't serve the prosecution's case either, as being insane or the victim of Cylon mental manipulation would mitigate his culpability. The only way Virtual Six is going to affect the trial is if Baltar starts interacting with her during his testimony. -- [[User:Gordon Ecker|Gordon Ecker]] 00:57, 24 March 2007 (CDT)

* 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}}

: 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 [[Amarak]]'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)

::: Ok I'll use an analogy with the O.J Simpson trial (simply as an example.) Say (Hypothetically) that 2 years before Nicole is killed, Simpson had a Girlfriend that was murdered and evidence planted to implicate him. The evidence is PROVEN to be false AND planted. Now Nicole is killed. Don't you think that an eariler framing of Simpson would look suspicious, and wouldn't the defense want to point out that someone out there wanted to frame Simpson 2 years ago and may just be trying to finish the job? Well Baltar is the same way, he was framed earlier for treason and now he's on trial for treason. He could state that that whoever was trying to frame him is back. Also I agree that Balastar may be right that this episode was simply a mistake and that my wierd explanation isn't true, but it's still the only explanatino that seems to fit the square hole (as far as I can think of). --[[User:Jonesj3599|Jonesj3599]] 02:52, 25 March 2007 (CDT)


:I disagree, and this is where the point is. Shelly is the link between Virtual Six and Caprica Six. I'm not merely interested in the trial, I am more interested in the possibility that the final five are another faction, (likely some human prophets who actually controlled the Cylons to instigate the first war). Remember, the Oracles interact on a "spiritual" level with the Cylons. Proof: An Oracle gave prophecy to Biers. That prophecy lead to and foretold her boxing. My comments on this are actually being vindicated by the new "Who is a cylon" page that came up. Sorry I'm too lazy to link it. I'll end my comments about this here and carry it on to the Talk:Crossroads Part 2 section, because it's very relevant. --[[User:Baltarstar|Baltarstar]] 20:47, 23 March 2007 (CDT)

::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)

== Unanswered Questions: Colonel Tigh and Ellen ==
I think the unanswered question of "Why did Tigh say, "What about Ellen?" can probably removed as his comment is simply meant to indicate that he believes his killing to be baseless now that he knows he's a cylon - what value is there in a cylon killing someone for collaborating with the cylons?

==Resignation of Lee Adama==
I think this page should mention that Lee Adama was the first person to resign from the military which is referenced in Final Cut when D'Anna says that Gaeta informed her that not one member of the military has resigned.
==Roslyn's trial testimony==
Roslyn mentions "Captain Apollo" and how it has a nice ring which is what she said in the Mini-Series when Lee tells her that his call sign is Apollo but that his real name is Lee Adama.
