    James Callis is an amazing actor, the character Baltar one of the best ever created, and the series one of the best ever created. Nervously excited about the new series which is thankfully set in Ron D Moore's BSG universe. I hope this means we'll see humanoid cylons again, Head characters, centurions...

    1:40 Hm, Star Wars, Star Trek TNG - I remember a lot of eating in these shows. Probably, if I thought about it, other sci-fi-shows where eating is incorporated into the plot, sometimes as an important part, might spring to mind. Also, there were some eating scenes in the Stargate series....

    He was excellent in the role but the writers flubbed the “Angel”-Number-Six plotline. Also, his proposed Moses ending happened... for Adama, though him thinking that was Baltar’s role is the most Baltar thing ever

    what about head 6? that would be more in line with the spiritual part of the show. maybe taking him to 'heaven' and the raptor coming down has a bomb or something on it.

    Tigh. What would've been great: Baltar's packing up to leave Galactica for the last time. The camera pulls back to reveal Tigh walking by his door. Tigh stops, reaches for his pistol, then shakes his head and walks on by, Baltar none the wiser.

    Actually his comment about nobody going to the bathroom is not correct. Baltar had a habit of chasing people down in the bathroom & he and Starbuck had a conversation while she was sitting on the pot when her door was missing from stall!!! :)

    The way the interview clip was shot, it's like the interviewer randomly ran into James at an Olive Garden as he was in the middle of dinner with his family and she just pulled up a chair, plunked herself down, and started chatting with him. Luckily, he was professional enough not to tell her to F Off. 😁
