Having now been able to watch season one (and be pretty darn impressed, I must say…) an odd question hit me last night. In the ep where Gaius Baltar is accused of treason (the one with the ‘fake’ video images of him), the accuser’s name is… Damnit, now escaping me. The question that popped up as I was falling asleep- was it the same name as the ‘first girl he lied to’ (as he admitted to Six several episodes earlier)? Also, is six’s ‘physical manefestation’ seen again in season two at all?
Oh yes it does. And it looks like that will be a major story-arc when the season picks up again next month.
IIRC, The #6 in that episode was named Shelly Godfrey(is that waht you are asking?)

I’ve been re-watching S1 on DVD (getting my fix during the hiatus). N9IWP is correct, Six’s AKA in “Six Degrees” is Shelly (or Shelley) Godfrey. “God-free.” Get it?
I don’t recall the name of “the first girl he lied to.” I’ll have to go back and check.
As a clarification- Six asks Baltar if he remembers the first time he lied to a woman. Baltar tells a story of when he was in fourth grade, a ‘you show me yours, I’ll show you mine’ story. He says he didn’t show, but years later slept with the female in question. I believe Baltar was just about to give some big lie to the president, and it was a few eps before Shelly Godfrey. If someone can check this, it’d be keen.
Question answered after viewing- The girl Baltar lied to was named “Sherry Bennett”.
If you’re really curious,
She shows up as a raped and abused prisoner aboard the Battlestar Pegasus
You know, that doesn’t even seem like a lie to me. It’s just Ron Moore establishing his feminist street cred. If the girl had said “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours,” she retains this almighty righteous og-given right to change her mind and say “no.” No harm, no foul. A man changes his mind and it’s yet another way that men lie to women. Meh.
Maybe that’s part of why Starbuck & Six don’t get along very well. Starbuck doesn’t get bent out of shape over little sex games. Six seems hell bent on punishing Baltar for every sex game he’s ever pulled, with any woman, anywhere, anytime.
Say what?
The guy’s an asshole.
We should complain if he’s bitten by a snake already?
Well, that, and the fact that one’s a Toaster, and the other is dedicated to wiping out the Toasters.
And Odineye it looks like there is going to be more on that which you put in the box. At least it looked that way in the preview I saw on SciFi the other night.
