The catch is that Anders will need to be connected to the DRADIS, fire control and C-3 systems. The Final Five plan to use Samuel Anders, now effectively a Hybrid on Galactica, to interface with the Colony and its Hybrids to interrupt their commands and slow the Colony's weapon systems. Head-Baltar smiles at her, while simultaneously Baltar sees Head-Six smiling at him. She comes down the stairs and walks up to him, faces Head-Baltar, and tells Gaius that it’s OK, she can see them too. Realizing how this must look, Baltar tries to reassure Caprica-Six that he is not insane, that he sees angels. From her perspective, Caprica-Six sees Head-Baltar turn and look at her. From Baltar’s perspective, he sees Head-Six turn and look up to the entranceway. Head-Six watches and listens with some amusement, and turns her attention to Caprica-Six. She listens intently to his conversation, in which Baltar declares that he is responsible for all that has happened, not “God’s plan,” and that he is a complete failure has an instrument of God and more importantly, as a human being. When Six enters the bay, she sees Baltar in spirited conversation with Head-Baltar, instead of Head-Six, which is who he sees. During his tirade, Caprica-Six passes Paulla in the hall Paulla gives Six a dirty look but leaves as instructed. He lashes out at Head-Six, telling her he is sick to death of “God’s plan,” and that all it has brought him and the human race is death, destruction and misery. This evasive answer infuriates Baltar, who is already questioning his own worth after deciding to stay with the fleet instead of joining the mission to rescue Hera Agathon. She tells him that he already following it. Barely containing his anger and frustration, he asks what that plan is. Head-Six appears to him, telling him to trust in God's plan for him. He tells her to go to the hangar deck and that he will be along shortly.
Paulla tells him the last Raptor is leaving and he needs to come now. Gaius Baltar sits alone in the empty bay aboard Galactica that formerly housed him and his flock.

It is just meant to be my personal statement on what might have been.Īdieu, Galactica. It is not intended as a critique of Moore, the show or any of the creative decisions that were made. I knew if I was going to do so, it would have to be now, while the feelings and frustrations were still fresh in my mind. The more I expressed these sentiments to various friends who were also fans of the show, the more they pressed me to put down on paper (or at least in cyber-bytes) what I would have done differently. He either didn’t trust himself or his audience enough to take the show boldly where it deserved to go. While I agreed with the basic structure of the episode – including the use of flashbacks to fill in the gaps of certain character arcs, I felt that in the end, Moore didn’t take enough chances. I just wanted more, and felt there could be more, from the last episode. Of course, this is Ron Moore’s creation and he has every right to end it in a way he sees fit. In the end, Daybreak for me was an experience that didn’t quite live up to the standards that the show had set during the course of its 5-year (4 season) run on the Sci-Fi channel. More emotional resonance from the experience. It was that it left me wanting more more drama, more sacrifice, more consequences for past actions by the main characters, and above all more meaning. It’s not that I thought the finale was bad – quite the contrary. Moore’s “ Battlestar Galactica.” But in watching the series' 3-hour finale, “ Daybreak (Part II),” I was left with a gnawing feeling of dissatisfaction.
