Was Gaius Baltar a Cylon?

Question

I thought Baltar was a Cylon because he would communicate with 6 through subspace,
but what Baltar and 6 see in their head is not each other communicating through subspace but they are "Head 6" and "Head baltar" as proven by this question.

So now I don't know. Is the "normal" Baltar a Cylon or not?

Plutor · Accepted Answer

Gaius Baltar cannot be a Cylon. We know exactly how many models of Cylon there are: 13. And they're all accounted for.

Aside: The note that Adama gets at the end of the miniseries says there are twelve models, but that's because it doesn't include Daniel, who is for all intents and purposes no longer a model of Cylon. We never see Daniel, but after

becomes aware of her Cylon-ness, she remembers him. And at that point she would have recognized Gaius as being a Number Seven if that were the case.

In Season 3 episode 13, Baltar attempted suicide in jail and was brought back by a medic. A cylon cannot be brought back to life. It would have downloaded into a new body.

Case closed.

This is a tough one. At the end of the series, you see Baltar walking away arm in arm with the original Cylon we see him with in the beginning. Is it a flashback or a sign of things to come. Consequently, is the second series a standalone or, based on the conclusion of the second series, a continuation of the first, just a loop in time with names remaining the same, just the being holding that name to be different
