Umm.. I've been watching the first season of Battlestar Galactica and have come to the conclusion that Dr Gaius Baltar and Dr Julian Bashir of DS9 are clones of one another.. perhaps they're both Cylons ;D Does anyone else think they not only sound almost exactly alike, but that they look quite alike also and that the mannerisms and nervous styled speech patterns of both characters are quite similar? I assume they're not related as Dr Baltar doesn't seem quite as ethnic in appearance but they're so similar it's weird!! I'm only half way through season one so forgive me for saying but please no spoilers!  |

I'm only half way through season one so forgive me for saying but please no spoilers! Well spotted. I haven't thought about that, but yes they are quite similar - and I LIKE them both ;D However, let's see how Gaius develops, Julian became more confident in later seasons and didn't speak quite so nervously. Gaius seems to have more things to be nervous about, though  - don't you think? dax |

Gaius seems to be turning into a bit of an ass as the season continues. A shame really as any pity I felt for him has been washed away.
Six on the other hand is really turning out to be a fantastic character.

I've seen upto Resurrection part II - but I haven't followed Gaius and Six so closely. Must watch again to check it out. I'm so hoping the Roslyn doesn't die, but it doesn't look so good for her? dax |

I thought Baltar and Bashir looked very similar. The names are almost similar too. D'ya think Ron Moore is trying to throw in a DS9 homage?? I'm sure it is coincidence tho....

I totally agree, when i started watching season 1 I did a search on wiki to make sure it was a different character, because of the ethnicity of Bashir (thought maybe it was makeup lol).
But even today as I catch up on Season 3, I still find him to be much like Bashir. Big nostrils.
Bashir's mouth is a little different, but they are both short and skinny.
The DS9 people did BG so perhaps that has something to do with it....
I had to register just to post this I was thinking of the similarities today he he

Welcome cylonw! You'll find us a friendly bunch. Mmm they are quite similar - both look great!! But I definitely prefer Bashir! Looking forward to more of your posts! All the best dax I totally agree, when i started watching season 1 I did a search on wiki to make sure it was a different character, because of the ethnicity of Bashir (thought maybe it was makeup lol).

Still loving Battlestar and now I've watched it more I don't see the similarities like I used to. Must be because Gaius is now more familiar to me or something.. great show.. great characters!
