> [@alphaboi867](#): > > She’s also slammed his head into things and lifted him up off the ground. That’s what Baltar perceived, but it’s not necessarily what actually happened. I remember one scene in which HeadSix was pulling Baltar by the necktie. Then it shows what the people around him see: he’s grabbing his own tie, and standing on his toes. ---

Should have previewed. That’s the same scene that Strinka mentioned I think. Which episode was that in? Time to re-watch. ---

No, actually when she dragged up him up after the one guy hit him, we see it from their perspective, and while there was some contortionism involved, he was dragging himself up. -Joe ---
