Since the second season began, the beginning credits of the show added the phrase, "And they have a plan." They show Baltar and Number Six leaning over a baby's crib when they say this, which alludes to the fact that part of their plan has to do with some type of offspring.
I believe this offspring will be a human/cylon hybrid. Seems pretty obvious that's the way they are heading:
When Starbuck was in that hospital and discovered all the women who were being experiemented on, the theme was the same - the cylons are trying to impregnate HUMAN women. (I wonder when they're going to figure out what that second cut on Starbuck's abdomen is? Wonder if there's going to be a cylon Starbuck clone....)
Also: it is obvious that Heli and Sharon's offspring will be a human / cylon hybrid.
So, I believe their plan is to develop / evolve a new human/cylon hybrid. (Hmm - almost sounds like the Borgs from Star Trek).
But why would cylons want to develop such a race? In all their anger and hatred towards humans, they still seek to be as human as possible. They seem to want to experience human emotions, human pain, human enjoyment, but their 'machiness' prohibits this from happening. If they can create a cylon/human hybrid, and transfer their consiousness to such a creature, they would be a step closer to this. THAT is what I think their plan is.
Now, back to how Baltar and Number Six fits into this theory: If we assume that Baltar is a human, and Number Six is a cylon, then it would be logical to have the two of them lead this new species of human/cylons: a Human/Cylon leadership team heading the new species. Therefore, Baltar has to be a human, and not a cylon in order for the 'balance' of leadership to occur.
What do you think?
-Z.
PS: I don't think there has been an 'original human' version of any of the 'cylon copies.' Has there? I think that the human looking cylons (Number Six, Sharon, Xena) were NOT created based on humans, but they were created eons ago and planted into the human population - hence their 'concscious' experiences. But it does make more sense that they were cloned humans.
