If you are a big BSG super nerd of the old 70's~80's series I would be more impressed.

Paras, I am caught up in the series. Gaius Baltar survived the nuclear explosion because Caprica Six shielded him. She died as a result, but was obviously resurrected. Later in the series they show that cylons are somehow far more resistant to radioactive bombardment (though not immune) than humans are; when they try to find a way through the radioactive gas clouds to get to the algae planet (in order to replenish their dwindling food supplies), they send Sharon as a scout who single-handedly finds the way through, whereas when the human pilots who already know the path try to make it in a few jumps, they get sick from the radioactivity. Presumably the nuclear blast was far enough away (Baltar had a fancy rural home OUTSIDE OF Caprica City, and it was the city which was the main target) that the explosion itself wasn't strong enough to kill Baltar (being shielded by Caprica Six). And it is possible that the Cylon resistance to radiation is strong enough to also act as a radioactive shield. However, this resistance may have aided Baltar in other ways that at this moment remain unclear.

If you hadn't noticed... I am something of a BSG super nerd at the moment.

And I am not ashamed of it.

fuuuuuuck...

so, i finally gave in and phoned the doctor, because whatever it is that hit me like a ton of bricks last week seems to be here to stay. but, i can't see even a substitute doctor until monday. AND the receptionist had the gall to laugh at me and say "I'm jealous" when i said i was sleeping 12-ish hours a day and still exhausted (because she can't even sleep that long). how the hell am i supposed to get my papers written or present to the industry folks if i'm not awake enough to think straight? i also can't afford to miss any more classes... and it's taking every ounce of my concentration to get this bloody statistics homework done...


okay, sorry, i'm done whining now. i'll leave you in peace.

Oh, and how come, up to the last episode I've seen (Season 3, Episode 5), they never answered the essential question of how Gaius survived a nuclear explosion in the miniseries? Did anyone ever ask? Does that get answered? In the way I think it does?
