Maybe I missed this in the thread here, but did anybody else notice that HeadSix showed back up for Baltar about the same time that things got really bad for Caprica Actual?

Yes, for certain. In fact, I keep wondering why they aren’t mixing it up now that they’re both back on Galactica and apparently free to move about the cabin at their leisure. And aren’t they ever going to have the “Hey, you’re constantly in my head” moment?

And Caprica mentioned that she hadn’t had any visions because of her pregnancy. Now that she’s no longer pregnant does that mean we’ll get to see Head-Balter too?

Gah! Don’t start with _that_ name-confusion.

Caprica Actual = Adama (or whomever is in charge of Galactica at the moment).  
Caprica, or Caprica Six = Tigh’s (ex-)baby momma.

The thought that mixing these two up might lead to the thought that “Caprica Actual” had been knocked up by Tigh is… shuddersome.

Eh? No. **Galactica** actual is the acting captain of Galactica. “Caprica Actual”, if taken literally, would be the acting captain of Caprica. Being as how this makes no sense, one can assume the poster meant “Caprica Physical”, as opposed to the one in Baltar’s head. AFAICT no other Sixes are called Caprica, physical or otherwise, just like all Eights aren’t called “Boomer”. I could be wrong on that, though.

I’m confused now. Is Tigh’s Six the same Six that Baltar was in love with way back on Caprica?

I believe they are, because I believe that’s the only Six who is called Caprica.

yes, remember when Caprica Six waxed rhapsodic about her love for Baltar when Saul first started talking to her in the brig?

Yes. The other Cylons gave her the nickname “Caprica-Six” after conquering the 12 Colonies because she was the one who made it all possible.

Actually, a deleted scene shows Cottle with a smirk pushing the Freeze Frame button on the baby monitor and pulling the audio plug out of the unit. He just wanted everyone to shut the frak up and get out of sickbay.

Does there exist anywhere online a breakdown of all the Six’s we know and their relationships in the show? I think I need an org chart or something.

Yes, exactly.

It was a joke. I’m learning those don’t go over well in these threads, but obviously not learning it quickly enough.

Ah, yes. _phew_ I think I’m going to blame how disturbing that mental image was on this brain-fart. 'Cause, even though EJO _has_ grown a little (more of a) potbelly… eew.

Answered my own question. [Number Six (Battlestar Galactica) - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_Six_(Battlestar_Galactica)) I think I have 'em straight now.

He’s been with Ellen for a thousand years, though. After that, space herpies holds no threat.

I was thinking of Caprica sharing germs with Baltar, and thereby lots of others. :eek:

Well, yes. But we know that Ellen slept her way around the Fleet. If _she_ didn’t bring back something to their marriage, what could Baltar’s conquests have that might take down Tigh?

Actually, between Ellen and Baltar, there’s probably only about two degrees of separation for the entire human race now.
