The thing about lobotomizing the Raiders was in the trailer for next week. Natalie or Boomer (can't remember which) gives him the ultimatum: "You are not going to lobtomize those Raiders!"

Interesting point that Gaeta's snark means he's less traumatized. Upon further reflection, I have to agree with you on some level, but he's still definitely messed up, because that's when he snarks/shouts. He lets it build and build and build, and then BAM! (Witness the Baltar stabbity incident.)

Yeah, I really hope we get an explanation about who these people are. Why has Baltar not asked this question yet? He's a smart guy.....
