			::: From the article for "Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down", "Later, back in Baltar’s lab, Ellen’s test results come through and are apparently green. Baltar, however simply states to Six that having everything turn up green makes life a lot easier." So no empirical information can be drawn from that test, because we can't be sure about the true results.-- [[User:Fredmdbud\|Fredmdbud]] 07:01, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

	I removed a claim that the cylon detector built by Dr. Baltar no longer works as he donated the nuke to the cylon infiltrators in the fleet.

			:That's not specified. It is Cottle that verifies that Bulldog is not a Cylon. While Cottle's ability to check Bulldog may be based on Baltar's work, Cottle has had a long time to study Cylon physiology and has likely found the trace differences. The Cylon detector required the nuke as well as Baltar's expertise in running it (no other character was shown using it). It is most probable that Cottle handles this task for the Fleet now. --[[User:Spencerian\|Spencerian]] 09:08, 29 March 2007 (CDT)
