I dunno. I really do think that Head Six has lied to him. I mean, in the mini, when Baltar wants to frame Doral as a Cylon she's all, "I haven't seen him at any of the Cylon parties." Even if we handwave the literalness of her claims that Hera is theirs as metaphorical, she still claims that "a child will be born" in the cylon brig and does things like tell Gaius that if he steps forward he "won't be harmed," before he gets the crap beaten out of him with the butt of a rifle.

I don't doubt that she's always being truthful in larger intentions, sort of. But she does lie.

Plus I'm not sure that Baltar even knows he's supposed to save Hera in the Opera House. His own visions have been far more vague and when Laura mentioned he was in hers, he didn't seem to know about them.

In this episode all Head Six says is, "humanity's final chapter is about to be written and you will be its author." So like...we could also take that to mean he should stay where it's safe - cus the survivors/winners write the history books? I mean...I don't think that's entirely it. And also I do like the idea that Baltar is frakking them over by being selfless, because like you say that's both classic Baltar and HILARIOUS.

I'm just...very wary of really trusting Head Six and her scary, Sixey agenda...
