a little part of me did… from the image of hot dog getting it on with cally… could there be any more lanky-ness to that pairing?
This is why I always thought the Parable of the Prodigal Son stopped before it got to the interesting part. So, the prodigal screw-up son returns home and is fawned over and gets a fatted calf. The faithful son is all, “WTF, Dad? I did the right thing, and you never gave me a fatted calf!” The parable ends with hopefulness about it never being too late to be forgiven, but I always thought there was trouble brewing there–if there’s no benefit to doing the right thing, eventually, that faithful son is going to snap.
That’s what I think happened to Gaeta. With the exception of perjuring himself during the trial–which Adama/Tigh/Roslin, et. al., probably wouldn’t have had a problem with if they’d known, since there’s no love lost for Baltar–Gaeta feels he’s played by the book. Kara and the Cylons do very frakked up things very often, yet they’re forgiven, time and time again. Once there’s no Earth and no promise that your leaders are doing a good job, I don’t think Gaeta sees much reason in playing by their rules anymore, since look where it’s gotten him.
I still think the Cylon alliance is their only hope, but–I guess I just haven’t hopped on the Gaeta-Zarek hate train. They’re wrong, but they’re wrong and interesting.
I won’t argue that point. He has become a SorryBarb.
AMEN my sister! A-frakking-MEN
Yeah, I am sure there will be a thread about this later. Is he all of a sudden against God? I swear, Baltar changes his mind more often than his women.
I Heart Tyrol!!!
The more I watch BSG, the more I think: is humanity worth saving?
I mean, there’s nothing the Cylons can do to them with evil weapons and ill-intent, that the humans won’t voluntarily do to themselves, given enough time and free-will.
If I were Cavil and I wanted to see humans dead, I’d give them weapons and leave them alone.
A great frakkin episode. Sorry, I wanted to watch it instead of typing, so I stayed away from the 'puter.
Actually, no they don’t. Gaeta has more information than Zarek does & he doesn’t have all of it either.
Hotdog and Tyroll sitting in a tree …
I have a new favorite 'ship.
I know. At first I thot Zarek was talking to himself and had rigged a bomb or something and he was about to blow himself up.
I thot they were gonna kill little Nicky (Hey that’s funny. No not the killing of a kid the movie title…forget it.)
I agree. I think all of this finally has snapped Geata, and so a violent revolution against the cylons and their supporters would be the proper thing to do in his mind.
And now because he’s bi the “ALL GAY CHARACTER ARE EEEEEEEVIL” tropers will have a field day with him. FRAK
I thought they were gonna blow the Tyllium ship and he was like narrating his manifesto to the guard. I think that’s what RDM intended to convey
They don’t really have all the info. They’re closer than a lot of people, but Zarek especially has always been the odd-man-out when it comes to the real planning. Maybe they get invited to some of the meetings, but neither of them have any illusions about being listened to by anyone of importance by this point.
Yeah that too. I thot there were gonna be splosions.
Just fyi everyone:
The RDM Podcast hasn’t been posted on Sci Fi or on iTunes
But…Here’s ThotfulGuy’s little trick:
I took the url for the last week’s ep podcast cast:
http://media.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/413/bsg_ep413_FULL.mp3
And I change the “413” to “414”. And there resulting link:
http://media.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/414/bsg_ep414_FULL.mp3
gets you the podcast.
LOL 
From Keara: “Tyrol better watch out for the rash.”
Hmm, I get a different sense. I think the Gaeta we see now is post-Barbeque-raptor, and he has just learned that his only source of pride and self-worth - his role in resistance - has been a complete farce. He is, in his own mind, no better than Baltar now, a betrayer of humanity whose only excuse is “I didn’t know what I was doing.”
He’s compensating for this mountain of newfound guilt by lashing out on others and finding a new scapegoat: namely, cylons and all who work with, tolerate or coexist with cylons. This mutinous behavior is the result of his guilt. Clearly, his coping mechanism is transference.
To summarize, Gaeta is a douche.
Monty Pyton is the Undertakers episode.
