FANMIX: Battlestar Galactica - Baltar/6 - Suffer Well
Medium :: Television
Fandom :: Battlestar Galactica
Subject :: Gaius Baltar / No. 6
Title :: Suffer Well
Warnings :: Spoilers 1 - 3, kinda
Notes :: I attempted to capture a lot of different sides of this complicated relationship, ranging from the twisted romance to the spiritual overtones to the dark and dangerous lust between them. I also examined the various "characters" involved, including Invisible 6, Caprica Six, Gina, Baltar, and Invisible Baltar. Song styles rum the gambit from Nightwish to lots of Depeche Mode to Rihanna. 18 tracks. This is my first ["published"] fanmix, so feedback would be highly appreciated.
Comments are love, if taking.

"You have a path. You will be spared their fate. For once, Gaius, you can stop manipulating the world and let destiny take its course. If there's one thing we know about human beings with certainty, they are masters of self destruction."

two. precious. depeche mode.
// if god has a master plan // that only he understands // i hope it's your eyes he's seeing through

:: ::
Number Six: Love isn't about sex, Gaius.
Dr. Gaius Baltar: There's an enlightened point of view.
Number Six: I've been thinking. And as far as I'm concerned, you can have any woman you want.
But always remember... I have your heart.
Baltar: Yes, of course you do.
Number Six: I can always rip it out of your chest if I need to.

Baltar's Internal Six: You let them murder our child.
Gaius Baltar: I am so sorry. I tried. I tried my best.
Six: God's will was that our child should survive. His will was that she would lead the next generation of God's children. His will was that you would protect her.
Baltar: Yes. (Six slams him up against the wall). Oh!
Six: You have committed a monstrous and unforgivable sin and now you and your entire wretched race are going to suffer God's vengeance.

Caprica-Six: This house was on a bluff over a lake. I always loved the view. Sunlight on the water. It's my favorite spot in the universe.
Virtual Baltar : Yeah, it's magical. Too bad you nuked it.
Caprica-Six: After I downloaded, I went back to the ruins of his house.
Sharon Valerii: Why?
Caprica-Six: Like you, I was looking for some sort of connection to him. Found a few of his things. Even held onto them for awhile. But I realized they were keeping me from truly embracing my new life.
Valerii: So what'd you do with them?
Caprica-Six: I burned them. But I felt liberated.
Virtual Baltar: Yeah, it's a beautiful story, isn't it? Shame it's all a pack of lies.

seventeen. mercy in you. depeche mode.
// i would lose my way again // be led hopelessly astray again // just so i could pray again // for the mercy in you
:: ::
Number Six: Look at me, look at me Gaius! Do you want me to believe you're worth saving? Do you? Do you? Say it!
Gaius Baltar: I want you to believe in me! Don't stop! Don't stop! Please, please don't stop! You have to believe in me, you're all I have left!
Six: Now tell me, you believe in me. Tell me you believe in my strength!
Baltar: I believe in you! I believe in you! I love you. I love you with all my heart... I love you with all my heart...
--A Measure of Salvation

Gina: Suicide is a sin. But I need to die!
Gaius Baltar: What you need is justice. I know a place where you can stay,
where you can be safe, where I can look after you.
Gina: Why would you do that?
Baltar: Because I love you.
