I just have a bad feeling that Gaeta is wearing a metaphorical red shirt,if you get my meaning.... I KNOW. I fear for him. Did you see the latest David Eick blog up on the Skiffy website? I started getting a really bad feeling about it all after I heard Leah Cairns. I'm just hoping the real red shirt is that guy on the ship whose name we don't know. I'm going on the theory that if they gave *Cally* a dramatic airlocking, Gaeta's gotta rate better than an ignominious redshirting, right? He's been a bigger character than that all this time, hasn't he?
Yeah, I feel like they've gone to the Lee/Democracy well a few too many times at this point. If he's gonna do it, I would have preferred to see him team up with Romo for some *actual* legal troublemaking in the Fleet, instead of this ineffectual posturing he's doing as Zarek's stalking horse. Every week, Zarek puts him on to something to protest about to Roslin, and every week, she shoots him down with this polite, deadly smile that says, "I've been playing politics for almost as long as you've been alive, little boy; I'll take you down"
It's feeling utterly pointless. For Roslin, Lee is becoming like one of those Cylon paper targets they have up in the firing range.
Baltar is well...his usual crazy, but this newest form of crazy is really weird and so against the original atheist conception of his character that I'll admit I'm a bit intrigued by the storyline, as much as it is another one of his frustrating near-misses.
