Baby on Board - 
by J-Unit
Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! It only took a couple of months, but we finally had an episode of Battlestar Galactica that was original, exciting, and left us wanting more. Ever since the series has started, it threw us a lot of questions and most of the time gave us some interesting answers to those questions. Recently, the answers we have received are for questions that we really could care less about. All right, maybe there were some of you who really cared who Apollo was sleeping with each week, and were dying to know which one of Starbuck's demons was going to force her to question authority, but I still kind of give a shit about Cylons. You may have heard of them, they are trying to make the human race extinct. We've been told that they have a plan, and this week we learned a little bit more about what they were doing.
We all know that when a Cylon dies, its mind is transferred into another body. If they are too far away from the Cylon home world, they must use a resurrection ship or they will just die like anybody else. The Colonial Fleet was able to destroy the resurrection ship, and it has really changed the nature of the battle with the Cylons. As important as resurrection is, we have no idea how this happens. The Six that travels through Dr. Baltar's mind has told us some things, and Sharon has told us a few things, but for the most part, it is still a mystery. While Cylon culture is still mostly a mystery to us, at least we have some idea about what goes on with the resurrection.
It's hard to describe Cylon society. We have no idea what they want to do, but we know that human beings for the most part weren't part of the plan. Therefore, they needed a way to kill most of the human population. What better way than to seduce somebody that could give them access to the defense systems of the Fleet and use that knowledge against them. That person is Dr. Baltar, and the woman who seduced him, Six, is a Cylon. The Six that Gaius knows only appears in his imagination, and he fell so very deeply in love with her, the fact that she isn't human and her race wants to destroy his has no effect on the ways she can influence him.
But what about Six? How did she handle it? The last we saw of her, she was shielding Baltar from the blast, but when she wakes up she is in a tub of goo. I am not sure why it is but resurrection always requires some sort of liquid. I'm not complaining because it also requires nudity, but the Cylons shackle the newly resurrected bodies down until they figure out what happened. Waking up in a new body is a shock. Six knew her mission, but when she sees all the people around her, including a copy of herself staring down at her, it is enough to make you get up and scream. This is exactly what happens to Six, but as she is looking around, a very familiar face comforts her. Gaius Baltar!
HOLY.
SHIT.
