I don't think that Baltar is playing Spike's role at all, if any character had such a storyline on BSG it would be Sharon Agathon...or Caprica.

Baltar is not a romantic character and I like him being just that weak little man who has his moments for sure but can still make the worst mistakes. His storyline is made on sucess and fall, not on a redemption from evil.

Still he may play a key role eventually. Baltar may even end up like Smeagol in "The Return of The King" actually, and save humanity a bit like the way he doomed it in the miniseries, that is despite himself!

I'm eager to see what they are going to do with him now that his followers/worshippers have "abducted" him. From Genius to President...from President to Prisoner...from Prisoner to...Messiah and God perhaps?

I didn't think they were being subtle with the Jesus Christ imagery in the finale!

I think Baltar will save humanity somehow - but no-one will know it was him, and he'll die doing it.

Baltar sported a Jesus-look during most of season 3, and he went through a true Passion, first when tortured by D'Anna on the baseship then when he was on the Galactica. And Gaeta played Judas!

But Baltar is a fake Christ just like he was a fake President.

Poor Caprica...
