Has the Cult of Baltar taken over duties as a policing force? does this relate to the Arrangement that Baltar and Adama came to at the end of - I think it was No Exit? There is a cult member in the daycare when Boomer takes Hera and drugs her in "Someone to watch over me." -- [[User:Furyofaseraph|Furyofaseraph]] 20:41, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Is it just me that think Gaius's Angels sounds silly? Baltar's Angels sounds much better --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] ([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]]) 14:26, 14 May 2007 (CDT)
:Well, it may be less confusing to TOS Baltar searches, but as its a riff on the US TV show "Charlie's Angels", there you go. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 14:28, 14 May 2007 (CDT)
::I think that association veers close to "silly" territory. At first I thought this was a joke. If a more serious term is desired, maybe "Baltar's rescuers"? Helpers? Saviors? (too religious maybe) --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 15:50, 14 May 2007 (CDT)

Furyofaseraph:

==Images==
Image 4 and 6 seem to be missing.

==Coin version of cubit==
Could somebody post a cap of Doc Cottle's cubit (from Black Market)? I'm doing the episode summary for Man with Nine Lives (TOS) and it appears that the old coins have a similar look (gold rectangles). --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 19:32, 9 February 2006 (EST)
:: [[Image:CottleCubit.jpg|thumb]] I hope this will help a little. -- [[User:Kahran|Kahran]] 19:40, 9 February 2006 (EST)

::: Thanks, Kahran! Looks similar, but the new ones have the "cut corners". I'm not sure if there are any better shots of TOS cubits. The only other instance I can recall are from [[The Long Patrol]] (also aboard the Rising Star), but I think they're likely further out shots than this. If we end up making a comparison I may go hunt it down. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 20:18, 9 February 2006 (EST) [[Image:Pyramidcubits.jpg|thumb|right]]

== Revision ==

The term is used in both TOS and RDM. I've adjusted the article accordingly. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 21:00, 26 July 2006 (CDT)
