Baltar, the Vipers and the Dying Leader

[Stairway]

Yes! It's another theory about the dying leader.

I was watching the Hand of God earlier and was struck by, an epiphany you could call it.

"Thus shall it come to pass, the dying leader shall know the truth of the opera house"

"And the Lords anointed a leader to guide the caravan of the heavens to their new homeland. And unto the leader, they gave a vision of serpents, numbering two and ten, as a sign of things to come."
And the leader will be responsible for the rebirth of the human race.

Yes, it is probably Laura, but here's another thought. Baltar also classifies.
1. He had a vision. In the vision Six mentioned 12 snakes which he realized were the vipers that lead the attack on the asteroid.
2. He is a leader of a religious group.
3. The rebirth could be the conversion between the polytheistic religion to the monotheistic, or the integration of cylon/human hybrids (why Baltar would be responsible I do not know, but he was "appointed" to guard Hera), or both.
4. When viewing the last supper photo and overlapping the two water glasses (as shown here http://www.spacewesterns.com/articles/60/) Tyrol is seen holding a knife to Baltar's throat. Maybe the illness was mental, haha.

So my guess is that Baltar will die. At least at the present moment. Yeah.

What about the wasting disease?

[Stairway]

Yes, that would be the one thing that doesn't quite match up. Prophecies doesn't have to be completely accurate, maybe the original texts have different interpretations. Maybe too big of an ego was considered a disease (hybris was the greatest sin in ancient Greece), or he's coming down with a flu.

[genji2000]

lol. Maybe he has a time-wasting disease.

I think prophecies need to be deliberately vague to stand a chance of being fulfilled.

The best of human nature shows when united by a common thread.

I think most so-called "prophecies" are deliberately made so that most future occurrences will match. Don't believe me, just read a horoscope.

Maybe the entire show takes place in the delusional mind of Baltar after he is hit by the blast on Caprica. He wakes up at the end of the series and Rosilin was really his nurse, which is why they were filming on the Caprica set.The nuclear blast wasn't from the cylons, it was Admiral Cain, gone mad! Baltar is so delusional, that he believes the Six when she says she's a Cylon, but she's frakking mad too! That would constitute a wasting disease...however do you think that complicates it a bit?

[Neakal]

Me thinks you should spoiler-tag the bit with Caprica but otherwise, thatd be a really "what the frak?!" sort of ending :P

Baltar can get a STD and die from it at any time... =D Maybe a cylon-STD resulting from a combination of 'sixes' and 'threes'... it can be called 'the forbidden 36-virus'... Lethal
