Talk:Six of One/Archive 1

Casting Head Baltar?!?

[1] Why would they be casting "Head Baltar"? The only reason I can think of is that James Callis has finally grown so much facial hair he can't just shave and regrow as he used to. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 14:53, 13 June 2007 (CDT)

That's probably why. I have a feeling that Baltar is going to be a bit of a "religious" personage, he'll probably be sporting quite the growth. See Beard of Organized Labor for a bit of beard background. :) JubalHarshaw 15:01, 13 June 2007 (CDT)

Age is also a possibility, but I'll wait until more information is known, before I engage in speculation about this. --Serenity 15:02, 13 June 2007 (CDT)

Yeah, virtual Baltar could appear to Six as a child or an old man. -- Gordon Ecker 20:00, 26 June 2007 (CDT)

Seven of Nine

It seems like the name for this episode "Six of One" is a reference to the Star Trek: Voyager character Seven of Nine (another TV show that RMD had a hand in). On a personal note: I think that the name "Six of One" is about how Caprica Six will find true individuality, outside of the Cylon "Collective", or at least acceptance among the Galactica crew (like Athena). Any thoughts? Mishakal 00:20, 22 June 2007 (CDT)

As noted on the page, the full idiom is "Six of one, half dozen of the other". The Cylons don't have that much similarities with the Borg and limited shared memories at most. --Serenity 01:14, 22 June 2007 (CDT)

True but it could also be an "easter egg" for the fans (like me) that have way to much time on their hands. Mishakal 01:35, 22 June 2007 (CDT)

There's also six known Cylons in the colonial fleet, and six unboxed Cylon models in the Cylon fleet. -- Gordon Ecker 20:00, 26 June 2007 (CDT)

What if they add a 13th Cylon to the mix? Just to throw us even more off than the whole "Saul is a Cylon". Mishakal 21:36, 6 July 2007 (CDT)

There isn't any reason why there can't be another recently created Cylon model, but that falls under fanwanking rather than plausible speculation. -- Gordon Ecker 22:45, 6 July 2007 (CDT)

I think its obviously based from the saying "Six of one, half dozen of the other". I think that fitting a Trek reference into this is stretching it a bit, I don't think its got anything to do with 7 of 9. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 03:12, 6 September 2007 (CDT)

Prisoner reference?

Given that Six's name is inspired by that very show, it seems it wouldn't be wholly off to say this might well be another reference. Anyone agree or disagree? DrWho42 23:35, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

• I'd be inclined to agree, but it might be best to leave it out unless the screenwriters say it was a reference, or the aired episode has more obvious Prisoner references (people saying "be seeing you", killer balloons, etc.) —Silly Dan _(talk) 11:56, 17 February 2008 (CST)

six of (the) one

If Baltar is really "the chosen one", Six Of One may be referring to his relationship and/or visions of Caprica Six. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xlynx (talk • contribs).

The Big Dee

Was that "getting the house" line from Lee an indication of a more permanent split between him and Dee? Or am I reading too much into it? --Steelviper 23:36, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Not sure, but the split seems kinda permanent now. And going back to Season 3, Dee entered the marriage fully aware that it might not last long, but is happy to be in it while it does. -- Serenity 23:42, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
