Well yeah, I have great respect for James Callis as an actor and do appreciate the significance of Baltar within the BSG narrative, but I could never quite get on board with the story of his redemption. Not until the very last episode, anyway.

I completely agree with your take on Jamie's and Jensen's respective acting styles - intellectual vs. intuitive. Which are viable in their own right and oh my, doest it provide for some incredible results! My inner fangirl is still harboring sekrit hopes to see the play against each other someday. They do badass, emotion and angst differently yet oh so beautifully.
