I don't think Baltar being a prisoner of the Cylons is a function of Caprica_6's love for Baltar, I think it's a function of him being the President.
On Caprica_6's obsession with Baltar - I haven't seen them interacting with just each other since the Occupation so I've no idea how their current relationship stands. I would like to make a distinction between:
Baltar and Caprica_6 Baltar and Avatar Caprica_6 Baltar and Downloaded Caprica_6
I think they all have very different relationships.
Baltar and Caprica_6is now over two years old and was based on passionate physical love and a growing realisation on her part that she meant it, with all her heart. It was also based on lies.
Baltar and Avatar Caprica_6 was and still is an intensely passionate relationship between Baltar and a woman who knows no fear or doubt and is utterly committed to her vision of her God. She pushed Baltar every second they were together and also kept him sane and helped him survive. She wasn't trying to pretend he was someone she idealised, she knew who he was and what he was like.
Baltar and Downloaded Caprica_6: I've no idea where they stand with each other. The observation so far has only been in formal settings where she hasn't been all that personal and neither was he. Yes, she's trying to protect him.
I think Baltar's heart was broken when Pegasus_6 killed herself and the fact they've been relating to Avatars for a long time has got to get in the way of who they actually are relating to every time they talk. Both of them have changed enormously in the last couple of years.
And now I will stop and let you breath, apologies for obsessed and lengthy responses if you're now freaking out.
