Oh, I still question Baltar's sincerity about anything. He really is the classic opportunist and will do whatever he has to to stay ahead of the curve. And Six doesn't need him to be sincere; she just needs to be able to manipulate him, or keep him wanting to be manipulated.
I'm also very interested in the turn the show is taking towards mysticism, although I have to confess I really wanted to know more about their belief systems from day one (thwarted theologian here). Doesn't it seem possible that the cylons invented their monotheism as an act of open rebellion against the Colonial's Pantheon? And as a way to manipulate their "troops?"
Love the questions this show raises. I could go on forever. :-)
