In the episode “ The Hub , ” Baltar was short much more comic , much more giddy . talk to the Cylon centurion , yelling at the loan-blend . Was that a banknote you received , or something you decide to do ?

Only in the sense of , I knew there would be this huge explosion . I ’m very much of the school that what I will give with one helping hand , I will take with the other . So because he ’s going to look like he ’s going to go , and he ’s going to say these dreadful things that he thinks in his mind about , “ Hey , I ’m absolved and it ’s fine , ” that that ’s so serious , it would throw away you if the showtime of this thing was not that way at all . So it was kind of , just try not to endgame so much . But the material loan itself to being kind of silly .
Do you think Baltar is the hombre we ’re perpetually waiting to get hiscomeuppance ? And yet he always land on his feet ?
That could be . It could be that way . It ’s really odd . I actually realize now that I ’m so much more lovesome of him than other people . No , I really care about that human . I feel so sorry for him . But yeah , I suppose on some level , he does subvert your idea about where he ’s going to end up . And it does look like , the episode ’s always peril , “ We ’ll disclose you ! We ’ll find you ! ” Etc . , and then somehow wish polytetrafluoroethylene he ’s stuff out of it , he ’s somewhere else .
