Battlestar Galactica: Lay Down Your Burdens: Part 2 (2006)
Who were Baltar's concubines?
It was great to see Baltar become a true despot and "enjoy" all the trappings of power. You could see exactly the type of "leader" he would be from the first scene he was in. But the one question I must ask, Who were his two concubines? In real life and in the show, they are beautiful, why have we not seen them before? Why were they picked? It really reflects the downfall of the colonies that these two women are enjoying the comfort of a warm, clean place, when true heroes like Starbuck are begging for antibiotics for her husband, or forced into retirement like the Colonel (and therefore, into the hands of the Cylons.) That is one of the great things about this show, , it is not afraid to show the selfish and cruel nature humanity, or its capacity to attempt to destroy itself.
