1) What ever happen the SCORPIOUS BALTAR. You know the baltar in Six's head. Seem to never expalin what that was about and never brought it up again
2)Are non SKIN JOB cylons second class decesion among the cylons
I mean they dont seem to be in on the decesion making that the skin Jobs are. Nor do they get a vote a lot of the time. Plus in seem the skins one get all the perks "Food, wine,chiling in nice houses, banging a Human skank every now and then". Also they seem to order the metal robots around making them thier body guards. Not do you see the skins Job really conversate with them when we get a look in the cylons world. The skin Jobs mostly talk to each other
kind of goes against the idea of ROBOT unity again the opressive Human. Seem they kind of treating the non skin robots as second class citezens
3) Why did the cylons change the stance in the final. Dont mean why they broke the treaty..figure that was some Jasimine like (where protecting them against themselves) type rationlazation. No I am talking about orginaly they said they didnt beleave in god anymore. Now there back to beleaving in em

1. We haven't had a Caprica-centered episode since HarveyBaltar's first appearance. If 6 gets another ep, he'll probably return.
2. Yep, they are second class. One of the skinjobs mentioned that the centurions don't have free will in order to prevent an uprising like what happened to their human parents.
3. I don't remember them forsaking God. I think Cavill said they realized they had misinterpreted God's Will thanks to Caprica-6 and Boomer's intervention.

another board suggested it be cool if the story ended with the toaster Cylons rebelling against the skin Jobs
Remeber the Human probally though the cylons intelednge were limited as well. But when Star Buck faught that Scar Robot, it hinted that even the toasters cylons have emotions.

I guess ImaginaryBaltar is much the same as ImaginarySix - they only appear when their real counterparts aren't around.
It'll be interesting to see what these manifestations turn out to be (if, indeed, we ever actually find out). It's interesting that they seem to be much more aggressive, confident, idealised versions of the real thing.

Yeah, but that was a different Six. I don't think ImaginarySix has ever appeared when Baltar has been with "his" Six, has she?
(this stuff is confusing!)

I'll keep this under spoiler tags out of politeness.
My hypothesis is that the EMP blast of the nuclear weapon in the mini-series interfered with the download process somehow. This caused Six & Baltar's heads to become slightly swiss-cheesed.
They have clones of each other's personas (which includes as least some of their memories). These secondary personalities are idealized and have integrated themselves somehow with the repressed aspects of the dominant mind.
This is, of course, my opinion. A lot of people still believe that Baltar is a Cylon.
Oh, and I expect there to be a Cylon Civil War when a portion of the Cylons side with Baltar the Messiah.

I think of them at about the level of chimps. I think Boomer refered to them as pets once?
I'm about to re-watch the show from the beginning, so I guess I'll be able to answer my own question.

She was referring to the Raiders.
