I voted other because who knows at this point.
The more we talk about him the more I can not help but draw parallels between Gaeta and Brutus.

Algae-related death.
Choke on some moss? Interesting…
Starbuck…
Dude should never threaten Starbuck…
He’d have better luck standing in a launch tube just before a Viper launch
just sayin’…
I voted Other, since I think Zarek will kill Gaeta.
I may be horribly optimistic, especially considering the show we’re dealing with, but I’d like to see Gaeta die attempting to save the Old Man from Zarek’s henchmen or Zarek himself. Have one of those ‘comes to his senses and does the right thing’ moments, just before he gets blasted.
I still want him blasted. It would just be nice if he did something to redeem himself a bit in the eyes of Adm. Adama.
Although Starbuck would be an awesome GaetaKiller!! Oh yes. Oh very yes!
Ultimately, I think he’ll kill himself before anyone else gets a chance.
I’ve been thinking along those lines lately, too. Maybe somehow Gaeta discovers Zarek’s authorization of The Circle and remembers that it was Tyrol the cylon that saved him from being airlocked in the end? In the face of that, somehow trusting Zarek and distrusting all cylons is a little harder to swallow.
But so long as we’re voting, I choose other. Gaeta should get a ghostly visit from Dee, who slaps him and he dies of shame. Maybe Starbuck can have his leg as a trophy…
Death for anyone isn’t always the worst fate for a character. In Felix’s case, what’s worse, him being offed by Hoshi or Starbuck aiming for Felix but missing and shooting off his other leg. (She missed Roselin at short range)
My vote also.
We know Gaeta is DMW (Dead Man Walking). Narcho is the first one doa tonight. Who else will buy it tonight? I’m wondering if Gaeta still isn’t room temp by the end of the show. Gotta wonder who will be left after all this.
My vote is still for Starbuck, But I could see Anders shooting off Gaeta’s other leg. We could still hope for that.
THE BIG SCENE
Gaeta: First things first, to the death.
Starbuck: No. To the pain.
Gaeta: I don’t think I’m quite familiar with that phrase.
Starbuck: I’ll explain and I’ll use small words so that you’ll be sure to understand, you singing, jack-stand buffoon.
Gatea: That may be the first time in my life a…a…whatever you are, has dared insult me.
Starbuck: It won’t be the last. To the pain means the first thing you will lose will be your feet…er…foot… below the ankle. Then your hands at the wrists. Next your nose.
Gaeta: And then my tongue I suppose?
Starbuck: I wasn’t finished. The next thing you will lose will be your left eye followed by your right.
Gaeta: Lose an eye, huh? That’s original. And then my ears, I understand let’s get on with it.
Starbuck: WRONG. Your ears you keep and I’ll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, “Dear Gods! What is that thing,” will echo in your perfect ears. That is what to the pain means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.
Gaeta: I think your bluffing. How about that Pity Frak?
Star buck with save the Admiral and then he’ll bow out. Helo may become the Admiral of the fleet. Apolo will become president and cylons will become the 13th member of the fleet.
BeachBum, in your military experience, how do you think a situation like this would all resolve?
And with so few people left in the human race, how do you handle treason? Do you still literally decimate the mutineers?
LOL! Starbuck is Wesley…I never made the connection before, but it so works. Coming back from the dead (more than once, sort of) and snarking and kicking ass.
I think you mean Westley, the Man in Black; not Wesley, the Enteprise’s youngest ensign.
The Dread Pirate Roberts! Well, not the original. Let me explain.
Roberts had grown so rich, he wanted to retire. He took Westley to his cabin and he told him his secret. “I am not the Dread Pirate Roberts,” he said. “My name is Ryan; I inherited the ship from the previous Dread Pirate Roberts, just as you will inherit it from me. The man I inherited it from is not the real Dread Pirate Roberts either. His name was Cummerbund. The real Roberts has been retired 15 years and living like a king in Patagonia.”
I hope that clarifies who Starbuck is.
Yeah, I wasn’t remembering Wesley as being quite that badass…
Is anyone else hoping that the two biggest dudes in the fleet, Anders and Helo, will team up and become a two man wrecking crew the likes of which have never been seen?
LOVE the Princess Bride stuff!
