*It appears that, in season 3, everything that's happened to [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]] since his election has served (from a dramatic or storytelling perspective) to strip away his arrogance. Particularly the suicide attempt provoked by [[Cylon-Related Hallucinations#Baltar's Internal Six|internal Six]] in [[Taking a Break From All Your Worries]]. -- 21:08, 30 January 2007 (CST) | *It appears that, in season 3, everything that's happened to [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]] since his election has served (from a dramatic or storytelling perspective) to strip away his arrogance.

*In [[Exodus, Part I]] it was mentioned that the Cylons are stretching their resources thin. I suspect that the Cylons are at either in a civil war (likely between the earlier and later models, although possibly between two divergent branches) or at war with some other civilization. I suspect that they destroyed the Twelve Colonies because they were paranoid about the possibility of fighting a war on two fronts. -- 21:56, 30 January 2007 (CST) | *In [[Exodus, Part I]] it was mentioned that the Cylons are stretching their resources thin.

*All twelve of the humanoid Cylon models were around during the Cylon War, and some or all of them may have been around earlier.
