Poor Bill, having to be the only one to stay serious.

“Well, at least there’s something in there. I was beginning to have my doubts.”

Warn me next time so I can swallow my coffee first, mkay?

“That would be Adama, Gaius, not you"

Gotta give Six credit for being smart, even if she's dumb about her choice of men. And Creepy Gaius, as usual, is so over-reaching. Arm candy? Him? Maybe if he were with Cally...

I love Cottle & everything that comes outta his mouth. But you already know that. As for Six, I actually liked her in the series until she hooked up with Saul. That just wasn't believable to me.

I should say something serious, but I'm still snorting at the thought of Bill being Laura's arm candy.

I thought that was a great line for Head Six.

This is a delight. I loved the days when Baltar and Head Six were, in many ways, the comic relief with her dragging him down the corridors by his tie, banging his head against the wall, causing him to embarrass himself in public or have to fast-talk himself out of trouble.

You've captured that comedic aspect so well here with Baltar's flakiness and self-regard and the perfectly characterised responses of the others but you have also, rightly, highlighted the seriousness of what they are discussing - the mental fitness of the Vice President and the possibility that he is a Cylon. To have juxtaposed those elements so skilfully makes for a great piece of work.

One last thing. Did you know how funny 'arm candy' was when you wrote this? Thank you for really putting a smile on my face this afternoon.

I always love the interaction between Baltar & Head Six. As for the arm candy line, oh yeah. Knew exactly what I was doing. It was soooo Gaius.

“Well, at least there’s something in there. I was beginning to have my doubts.”

Cottle's the bomb. I ♥ him.

That would be Adama, Gaius, not you *giggle fit* Best line ever.
