Talk:Cylon detector/Archive 1

I'm rather short on time at the moment, so if someone would be so kind as to go back and fill in information such as episode names and such, that would be awesome. --207.160.210.253 21:41, 14 Apr 2005 (EDT)

I added links to numerous episodes and a few characters. 14 Apr 2005 BillCook Talk

Should this article be re-written?

As I'm reading this article, there is a definite problem which I have seen crop up. There is the underlying assumption that Number Six is real; since, at best, this claim is nebulous, I believe that this page should be re-written to factor this in. Thoughts? -- Joe Beaudoin 09:51, 27 March 2006 (CST)

I also have a problem with the whole incident involving Sharon's test. I think it's a plot hole that Baltar went from merely "Holy frak there's a Cylon in the room with me and if I tell her she's a Cylon she'll kill me" to "I'm not going to tell anyone that Sharon, a key member of the crew responsible for protecting the Fleet against Cylons and hey, probably the person who set those charges onboard Galactica a couple months back, is a Cylon. Not going to tell anyone, even now that she's out of the room. Now That I've locked the door. Now that I've got a perfectly secure line to Commander Adama. Nope, not going to tell anyone, because I'm Gaius Baltar, I don't make a frak bit of sense and I'm RDM's own bipedal plot hole." --David Templar 21:20, 29 March 2006 (CST)

The knowledge of Sharon's true nature could have served him later. Remeber, he isn't on anybody's side. --Sauron18 30 March 2006

Plus he believes he is doing God's work, and thus would more than likely be protected from any Cylon act. -- Joe Beaudoin 22:05, 29 March 2006 (CST)

He's self-serving more than pious any day of the week. The whole God thing was *never* consistent from episode to episode, and I don't see how revealing the fact that Sharon is a Cylon later than sooner would do anything besides making him criminally complacent. Not to mention he'd have to ignore the fact that she was probably the one running around blowing up parts of the Galactica months earlier, and being as self-serving as he is, she being a Cylon represents a danger, not an asset. --David Templar 15:56, 31 March 2006 (CST)

The thing is while Baltar personally believes he's caught somewhere in between the Cylons and Humanity, his actions have always been those that favour them, whether "Six" is just a manifestation of his own psychosis or something else she has consistently led him to decisions that favour the Cylon agenda, indeed prior to Season three the only action Baltar takes at all that isn't in their overall interests is the shooting of Racetrack, who at the time represented a direct and immediate threat to Baltar himselfUseless 10:48, 16 November 2006 (CST)
