You all know the Great Gazoo, the tiny, green, floating alien, from The Flintstones, right? I mean, sure he was exiled to Earth from his home planet Zatox as punishment for having invented a doomsday machine, but he made it on a whim with no intent of using it. Sound familiar? Exactly, it kinda does, but really doesn't.
Why it works:
If you recall on The Flintstones, Gazoo was only seen by Fred and Barney (and the animals and Pebbles and Bam-Bam, if you count inept beings). In fact, there were times when Fred was having a conversation with Gazoo, and Wilma thought Fred was talking to himself. Hmmm, think that the writers had Gazoo in mind when they created Baltar's Six? Well, not only do I think that Gazoo was the inspiration here, but I think he could be the last Cylon. Maybe.
He built a doomsday device, but never used it. So he has a better conscience than the other Cylons, but that doesn't mean he won't ever use it. It would make a very interesting storyline on Earth if only a few humans could see him. Why not make the President Lady super loopy from her drugs and discover Gazoo. NO ONE would believe her and we'd all be sitting there screaming at the TV that he's real! Oh, the horror.

Why it doesn’t work:
He's a fraking cartoon. Plus he was voiced by Harvey Korman -- who's no longer with us. :(
