In a way I am starting to feel as if (besides Hera), Caprica Six is the most central character of Battlestar Galctica.
The fact that she is at the center of the the Last Supper table and her opening of the entire miniseries leads one to consider her importance when it comes down to the end of it all with Hera the Opera House.
Right from her opening line “are YOu Alive” Prove IT" The six models have probably endured more life experiences then anyone else on the show; everything from torture to pregnancy.
Over the past year I have posted some random ideas that I am still trying to tie together:
Now that we know the Cylons use projection, might it be possible that the Caprica Six Baltar sequence of the nuclear explosion in his home in the miniseries might have been a projection either on his or her behalf? After all Baltar does wake up in the meadow unscathed. the explosion sequence could have been put into his mind to start as the awakening to his part in the Holocaust and the need for him to from that moment forward be bound to Caprica Six for the rest of the series (head Six) as part of the overall plan.
THe Boomer Chief projection sequences in “Someone to Watch Over Me” exhibit a similar vibe to Baltar’s miniseries House sequences and that explosion scene has never left the opening montage of the series titles.
The Six models were ever so busy on the day of the attack on the colonies, One on the Outpost in the opener, Caprica Six waitiing or her Meetup in Caprica City, Gina on the Pegasus etc etc,
“It’s About time. I wondered when you’d get here.”
Here is the first official shot of Baltar’s view of what we call a Head6 on his exodus from Caprica: it occurs around 1hour 20 minute into the miniseries:

Also: Now that we know the 8 models were built by the Final Five and the Cylons that exited the colonies and that the Cylons were experimenting with the humans to form hybrids it is possible that the first Six Models came from the Basestar that escaped young Adama’s final cylon war mission upon the signing of the Armistice. The little blond girl behind the door could have eventually served as the prototype for the first Six Model. I always thought the camera lingered long on this child so the scene had some importance to it. The scene is from the extended RAZOR cut of the episodes.

I used to think this was a young starbuck back in the day but it does seem more likely to be a future Six model prototype.
In the end Six really does seem to be the binding figure to everything maybe it will be she and Baltar that ends up saving the species after all.
