[edit] Gaius Baltar in Caprica Six's head?

can someone put up a section on this? although it seems at this point we don't know much about him.

[edit] Gaius Baltar -> Baltar

This should be moved to "Baltar." Gaius Baltar is the name of only the remake character, while this article is about both of them.Kuralyov 02:14, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Agree and moved, without prejudice against any real things named just "Baltar" that may need to go here in the future. -- Cyrius|✎ 04:37, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I'm also leaving links for the particular characters pointing at the redirects intentionally. That way if the article gets split into one for each character, a bunch of other articles won't need to be changed. -- Cyrius|✎ 04:39, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I split it. I feel there's enough merit for it.--Kross 05:58, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep them seprate. They're such different characters it would be impossible to merge the two.--Phoenix Hacker 08:47, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
Moved to "Dr. Gaius Baltar".

[edit] Human or Cylon?

The race of Gaius is not determined. In the latter episodes of season 2 Gauis is shown to be in his house as the nuclear bomb rips through it. One logical conclusion is that he is not actually human any more and has been cloned to a cylon.

Pure speculation. Sure, he's acting quite at odds with the best interests of humanity, and the writers are leaving it very open to speculation, but there's been nothing concrete put forth. As such, I'm going to remove the "Gauis[sic] a cylon?" paragraph. Remember, Wikipedia's policy is "no original research." -- Wwagner 21:12, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
If you can find evidence that a large contingent of fans believe it to be true, it's probably worth putting up under "fan reaction" or some such, but if it's just something you came up with, it doesn't belong there. Stilgar135 22:15, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Whether or not it is true is not the issue. The question of whether or not it is true is a central part of the character. It is not merely fan speculation, it is the character's speculation, and that is what makes it important. But this article is so poorly written that's not much of an issue. I agree a section summarizing evidence for and against his being a Cylon would be appropriate, should the rest of the article be re-written and broken into sections ;) --Vstarre 16:45, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

I think it's clear that Baltar is a Cylon, as the new Number Six on Caprica has visions of him in the same manner he has of her, and his ability to reconfigure his surroundings in his mind, just like Number Six, is further proof of that. This article needs serious polishing regardless though.Xiner 19:00, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm changing Baltar's race based on the recent episodes. Xiner 03:13, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
I've removed it. At this point there are questions about it, even within the context of the show, so it should not be assumed to be either. CovenantD 03:35, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. Baltar's race is unknown to Baltar. That's the point. There is no real evidence that he's a Cylon.--- [vstarre] 01:00, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] sucession boxes

Preceded by:
unknown		 Vice-President of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol
(seasons 1-2.5)		 Succeeded by:
Tom Zarek
Preceded by:
Laura Roslin		 President of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol
(seasons 2.5-3)		 Succeeded by:
Tom Zarek

[edit] Affiliation changed from Twelve Colonies

I have changed the "affiliation" section of the infobox from "Twelve Colonies" to "Gaius Baltar", as Dr Baltar is clearly not a true servant of either the Colonies, or anyone else. I would appreciate comments and suggestions as to what might be a more accurate way to demonstrate the self-serving nature of the character. - Seanlavelle 00:22, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
