(In case you were wondering, yes, this does mark the beginning of my vidding obsession with The National; expect another vid and a vidlet hopefully before 4.5 starts. You know; it'll be nice to have my life back, BSG. :/ Maybe one day I'll even learn to vid things that aren't you...)

As soon as he truly gave up all his coping mechanisms in that cell, Head!Six started to build his identity back up in her own mold and has been slowly doing so along the way, with many detours and bumps along the way, but her ultimately objective (whatever that is exactly) is slowly being realized. Your vid really understands all that.
I really like how you show that the first time all these elements really came together in the show is in that brig scene, and how you use clips from much later episodes in conjunction with that brig scene to really show the essence of Baltar's psychological and spiritual journey, filtered through his obsession with the Six model in all their forms.
In other words, great job. :)

He says "I love you" under torture-sex and he *means* it, is what gets me. He means it.

Thanks again for the feedback!
