But if there really was no one aboard the Carrier, the question becomes moot.
Together, President Roslin and Commander Adama (Edward James Olmos) agree to shoot it down - an order Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) questions but complies with.ĭuring the remainder of the series, the ship comes up again a few times as a decision that never settled well with the fleet's collective conscience. Viewers are left to consider Galactica's version of the trolley problem: whether it would be morally justifiable to shoot down innocents to save thousands more. After one jump, they temporarily lose track of the Olympic Carrier - a passenger ship carrying more than 1300 civilians - and when the ship reappears, it is armed with nukes and heading into the fleet. With the already thinned military deprived of sleep for the better part of a week, things are starting to look bleak for the refugees. Gratefully, the writers never fully answer that question, ultimately leaving the question up for countless hours of delicious interpretation. Baltar would spend much time questioning her true nature, at one point wondering desperately, "Is she an angel or is she a demon? Is she imaginary or is she real?" ("Taking a Break From All Your Worries," Season 3, Episode 13). Although Baltar's self-sacrificial flesh-and-blood Six has already revealed there are multiple copies of each Cylon, it's unclear whether the enigmatic vision fans call Head Six is real or a hallucination. The moment happens so briefly that it's easy to miss, but throughout the duration of the series, she appears regularly as his constant invisible companion and manipulates his behavior.
Despite having sacrificed herself by throwing her body over Baltar to save him from the blast, the blonde beauty - who is later revealed to be Model Six - appears amongst the crowd in a contoured cherry red dress as Gaius takes a final look before boarding the craft.
