How did he know so much about Starbuck's mum? Given that the Cylons had/have access to the human computer network they probably downloaded lots of information on people they were likely to meet. Perhaps Starbuck's home world kept really detailed records on all their citizens and perhaps the Cylon made a few lucky guesses based on that information. Not sure if his mission was the Galactica or whether he just happened to be on a ship in the convoy. But he wanted people to believe that he was meant to be there so perhaps his mission was the Galactica.

OK. I guess one way to look at her visions is to say that she was seeing an alternative time in circular time. Which is what the Cylon seemed to be suggesting.
My only problem with that is: why now? Why hasn't she had the same visions during other traumatic events?

But she had a second vision and then immediately flew over to see him "in the flesh" - almost as though something was said in the vision. Like perhaps the Cylons have psychic powers and suggest to her what to do. Or perhaps she is a Cylon and her programming was telling her what to do. If Adama is a Cylon (and we're pretty sure that he was a human at some point) it kind of suggests that Cylons can be designed to replace Humans. I guess that means that Baltar could also have been replaced. Do the Cylons believe in Circular Time, reincarnation or time travel? It sounded like circular time to me but one where some variations are possible. Starbuck said that someone programmed them that way, I hope that that is what happened and this whole series doesn't turn into some kind of philosophical trip that RDM has decided to take us down. Of course the Cylon might have been playing with Starbuck.

Doesn't have to be true Cylon. It could just be someone they think is Cylon for the most of the episode. Unlikely I know.....
Hope you get to see a new Human Cylon Model. Hopping to complete the set by the end of this series.

In the pilot, you clearly see Baltars batchalor pad being succomb to some big shock wave from one of the cylons big bangs! Now, I reckon, the real Baltar was killed. The nasty old cylons then put one of "their" Baltars in with the suvivors knowing that if the humans found him, they`d pick him up. This explains how "six" is implanted in his psyche (if indeed she actually is?) and maybe this is their plan? Remember, some are programmed to believe they are human! Makes perfect sense to me! ;D pf Kind of thought that myself. When he miraculously found Boomer/Helo he only had a couple of scratches. Even with Six shielding him I would have expected him to show a few more signs of injuries from such a huge explosion (it does seem kind of huge when he thinks about it and all the windows shudder). If Baltar was a Cylon, then why did they even have the show "6 Degrees of Separation"? This show, (All about Baltar) shows a long standing human trait called.... survival at all cost! It seems like they are going to spend a while fleshing out the Cylons on this series (there might not be any other buddies (?) after all) so perhaps they are working us through that somehow.
