Favorite Battlestar Galactica Characters — Gaius Baltar
“Why are you talking to me like I’m not one of them?”
“In some ways, you never were.”#king of fools gaius baltar #achh #the thing i love about gaius is just that #god #he’s the most perfectly crafted self-serving villain #who manages to subvert every traditional villain archetype #AND FOR THREE SEASONS HIS NARRATIVE IS OUTSTANDING. #(s4 guess what you still need an exorcism.) #how did this spam become an unintended aggregation of predatory sixes?
Because your priorities are the best, April? Because you are the best?
#favorite line #favorite guy #beautiful spineless genius cockroach mess #all the worst bits of humanity credited with all its brightest skills #all the most fallible bits of humanity shaped into the truest human man #aimless soul living for the sake of living #spineless man with a goddess’s hand on his back keeping him upright all the time #conscience exists outside of himself with a body far stronger than his and a will far clearer #this genius #this idiot #this malice-less monstrosity-enactor; this atheist’s messiah; this tiny tiny human chameleon man
