What do we really care about at the end? :) Let's see ...
[SEASON 3 PODCAST EXCERPT: Battlestar Galactica, Episode: Exodus, Part I // RDM = Ron D. Moore creator/executive producer, Terry is his wife]
Terry: Could you hand me the phone?
RDM: Hand you the phone? You're gonna make a phone call?
So this- this was like the opening to set up how- where Baltar's head was at. And that it wasn't at a very good place. And that he was having this really weird, screwed-up relationship with the woman- I mean, it's interesting. This is, like, the woman that led him astray to begin with way back in the miniseries. She is the recreation, the reincarnation, of the original Six that he was in a relationship with and that she used him and he was using her and then "genocide happens".
Terry: Hasn't she been there throughout?
RDM: No. There's "Head Six"-
Terry: Yeah.
RDM: -as we refer to her. There's "Fantasy Six" that he sees all the time. Then there are other versions of Six. But this model's-
Terry: I thought this is was the one that talked to him on Caprica- on the ship.
RDM: On which ship?
Terry: On Galactica.
RDM: No. No. That's the "Fantasy Six" in his head.
Terry: Oh.
RDM: Terry doesn't want to really watch the show.
Terry: I do too. I just, like every other audience member- it's just-
RDM: It's just confusing. I know, I know... it's-
Terry: -not clear. (Chuckles.)
SONNET/COMMENT:
THE SHOW'S CREATOR'S WIFE says it's "not clear"
which Six that is. Her husband understands:
"It's just confusing." Yes, "I know," my dear.
Do you agree? Let's see a show of hands.
the meaning of imaginary (?) Six
is what we're hoping most of all to see
(if not her breasts) to get our Sci-Fi fix?
we'd rather find the essence of that soul
embodied in Gaui's vibrant, haunted need
to find our perfect match, the counterpole ...

And while we're voting, would you say (like me)
Do we want Earth? Or shall it be agreed
... to this life's noisy matrix of the real?
A SAMPLE LAST LINE:
Does Six plus one sum to the seventh seal?
