Baltar epitomized each of humanity's weaknesses at one point or another - vanity, pride, lust, envy, greed, excess, wrath, treachery, apathy, cowardice, despair. He was easily the most relatable character on the show.

So here is an honest question...why did the other "skin job" cylons not know who the "final five" were but Cavil did? I'm assuming somehow he erased their collective memories, but was that ever expressly said?
and why didn't 4 of the "final five" remember who they were? Seems that Ellen remembered everything, but the other 4 had different degrees of memory of their old lives.

Cavil wiped the memories of their current bodies so they wouldn't know who they were when the colonies were attacked - he wanted them to *feel* just how pathetic being human actually was... The plan kinda backfired when none of the 4 were actually killed in the invasion and, ironically, the "belief" that they had always been human ended up playing a key role in ending the war between man and Cylons. Cavil had to suffer through the knowledge of being a Cylon trapped in a meat puppet body, whereas the other 4 got to experience the joys of "being human" because they were unaware of their true nature... Only Ellen remembered who she was because her mind-erased body was killed and she was downloaded into a new body that remembered everything.

SPOILERS...?
I am still working through this show. I think I prefer season 1 to any of the seasons (and the beginning to anything since). I got a momentary spark of giddiness when Baltar became the nagging voice in 6's head. That was hilarious.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Underdog again.

2. Yeah... What? I think they wrote themselves into a corner with Starbuck. That's my only major criticism of this show.

I didn't mind the ending...it was a pretty good series overall with bold writing and honest pictures of humans.
It won't hold up in my memory as a classically great show, but it was very good.

Watched "The Plan" tonight.
SPOILER: When Cavil stabbed that little boy I literally drew in a deep breath of surprise. That was hardcore. "Friends are dangerous." Wow.

The Plan was probably superfluous and a little self indulgent by them as an attempt to explain themselves to the viewers... but I really enjoyed it.
And after two complete viewings, it's definitely one of my favorite shows of all time. Very high up on my list, but maybe that's just me.
