Immediately I can say that I'd be Chief Tyrol. He seems to be the most stoic, quiet & thoughtful character of the series. He's levelheaded and isn't about the drama, just like me.

Yes, but is all that sex real or just in his head? Number Six seems to be Baltar's hallucination, and that isn't the case ... Gauis is copulating with something grown from a vat of goo. Gives new meaning to the phrase "mind-f***." Are we to believe that when he's plowing Number Six, in reality he's just masturbating? 8O

Haha! That may be true, but in addition to "head Six", he also banged a few real Sixes and numerous other women. For example:

*Spoiler about episode 1 of season 4* He was "rescued" by a cult full of babes who seem to be willing to drop their pants at his whim. Hmm ... maybe I should start a cult... *End spoiler*

There are so many things in the BSG universe that are believable, but I always find it distracting how unbelievable Baltar is in his ability to have sex with lots of women. I know he's really charismatic and all, but it just screams of fan service whenever something utterly contrived happens like when Baltar has threesomes with D'Anna and Number Six.

Baltar isn't autistic. He's much too smooth and charismatic. 8)

Probably because everyone loves the wimpy outgoing comic-relief.
