Baltar Has a Harem!

Monday, April 7th, 2008 at 3:16 pm by Jami

Apparently, the one true God keeps a bucket of hot chicks lying around so he can throw them at Baltar to convince him of God’s awesomeness. None can resist divine fun bag attack!

If you’re not in the U.S. you might not be able to watch the stream so I’ll keep the spoiler discussion behind the tag. Suffice it say, I’m really happy Hulu has this season and I’m so excited to see more!


Okay, now that they’ve teased the living fuck out of us, let’s try to figure out who this fifth Cylon is.

Captain Obvious points to Starbuck, but I’m thinking that’s a bit too obvious. I’m going to guess President Laura Roslin because of her visions which would also implicate harem boy Baltar. But I think he’s off the hook.

So, is Kara a bucket or a human or something else entirely? And if she’s not the fifth, who is?

    Haha, yeah I caught that ep. when I was home from college for the weekend! Funny stuff! How pissed/jealous is that blond chick in his head gonna be though!!! And she’s awfully vengeful… :D

    Remember that Roslin got that half-toaster blood infusion, so she’s kind of an honorary Cylon without actually being one. I’m still going with Gaeta cuz I called it back in Season One, bitches. (And damn he’s gotten smug ever since New Caprica.)

    The fifth Cylon HAS to be someone on duty when the music started playing or not present on the Galactica when the other four gathered in that cargo hold or wherever it was…

    I agree with cxc though, Gaeta has become a little less meek since New Caprica…

    To be quite honest, I don’t think that the 4 are all Cylons. I think that they have been imprinted while in captivity or otherwise. My primary basis for this is that the previous war with the Cylons was 40 years ago, and Colonel Tigh fought against them then (according to his backstory. He didn’t meet Adama until after that war, so no one can actually vouch for his presence. And even then, his being a Cylon and meeting Adama is damned fortuitous.) As I understand it, there were no human Cylons at that time, so if he was probably at least in his teens at that time, the only way he could be a Cylon would be if he were at some point captured by them, killed and recreated as a Cylon. Possible, but I think that is too much of a stretch. Also, having Chief Tyrol and Boomer both be Cylons and in a relationship just seems like a silly convenience.

    However, according to Wikipedia, Ronald Moore has said that they all are actually Cylons. Stupid in my mind because it either requires retconning or a stupid plot device to explain Tigh being a Cylon. Actually, reading more about the Cylons on Wikipedia, all the humanoid Cylons are apparently original designs according to Moore, so the idea the a younger Tigh was captured and duplicated can’t be true (unless he changes his mind.)

    I think that the 5th Cylon will have to be a new character. If they keep coopting the main characters, the majority of the cast will be either Cylon or dead. If they stick with a current character and they feel like making cheap excuses, I’d suggest Doc Cottle.

    I like Gaeta, but I think he has handled himself rather poorly since New Caprica, though his treatment by the other members of the crew has been rather poor. I don’t think he’s a Cylon.

    You know, this was the very first scene of BG I have watched, a couple of days ago, after not following the show since the miniseries.

    And boy, was I confused!

    Hey Val, I have to admit, I watched the 8min recap (http://video.scifi.com/player/?id=224004) of all three seasons before I watched this one. The recap does an excellent job of catching you up. Highly recommended to unconfuse brain bucket.

    I just had to love that “What the FRAK have I gotten into here? ” look in Baltar’s face through most of the episode. Tho’ I DID not it did not stop him from getting in on with one of his… Priestesses. Frakker.

    And the eight min recap is a HOOT..loved how it ended with “What th’ Frak?” So we’re ALL on the same page, now, ain’t we JUST?
